In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
There is no way you can adapt to this new rule other than giving attackers a huge advantage over defenders when jumping for the ball.
At the moment attackers can use their arms for elevation but defenders can’t. That’s unacceptable and a joke.
He’s saying small clubs like Spurs don’t get decisions like big clubs.
Palace last week.
That cnut mentioning Pogba diving or I misheard him?
He used to be respectful towards United before, but since getting sacked he hates us just like he hates Chelsea since Conte took charge.
Where's the video of the situation you're all discussing?
Cast iron penalty.
Haha! Basically called Spurs small time..
It’s just hilarious, he can’t cope.
Yes but you’re not really understanding what people’s problem is. Nobody is saying it’s ruining the game by giving the wrong decision based on the rules. They’re saying that VAR has caused rule changes that are only for the betterment of VAR decisions rather than the game itself.
Yup!
If it hits an attackers arm when jumping then it should also be a foul.
He's right. Oh well.
Here's an option: Drop VAR. Then make it completey illegal to protest any decision during or after games. Don't forget that it was the constant moaning of players, managers (and fans) that made VAR a thing in the first place.
If the rules regarding handball were relaxed tomorrow, the players would still be appealing for a penalty in every Dier-like situation.

He wanted to manage United before.
That’s a pen all day long.
dier jumps and then puts his arm up after the ball goes behind him -head height - then blocks it going on target.
that would of been a penalty last year.

Yep. Jose must learn to cope at a small club. He was at a big one and acted like a massive misery.
All clubs need to do now is aim for hands, not the goal.
Simple stuff. Make a mockery out of the rules that now make a mockery of the sport tbh.

Yeah, that's a penalty now. Carroll wasn't even aiming for the goal
I don’t think you’re understanding what everyone’s problem is.
The issue is not VAR. The problem is the new rule they’ve brought in which means it’s handball if it touches a defenders arm and his arm is in an unnatural position. That rule change is a complete joke. It basically means defenders can no longer jump with their arms out.
Never should be a penalty but under these stupid rules it is. No point in taking it out on the ref.
And you just know it will be some stupid handball decision like this, a ricochet off Pogba's head at close range onto Maguire's arm all in the span of about .5 of a second, bam, penalty, that Kane will promptly dispatch.
The handball rule needs to change, you cannot balance yourself in the air without the use of your arms, that whole no feet on the ground thing. Especially if you are shoved and not even looking at the ball like Dier was
Were you vocal on the opening day? Quit whining and look at your team failing to put Newcastle away.
I'm actually speechless they gave that, especially when Dier is looking the other way Defenders now need to play with their hands tied with a rope
Defenders now need to play with their hands tied with a ropeI remember Juve playing this tactic last year to good effect.
Were you complaining when we got it against PSG?I'm actually speechless they gave that, especially when Dier is looking the other way
That was the rule last year which they’ve now got rid of. Last year if it touched an attackers hand at any time in the build up, the goal was ruled out.
But this season an accidental handball is allowed by the attacker as long as it isn’t him who scores the goal. Like Havertz situation yesterday.
It’s completely over powered in the attackers favour at the moment.
Can't blame the fans when Jose keeps on making bitter comments about United.
Going on target haha. Go watch it again and look at the line of the header. Rule is an absolute joke
It’s a pen all day long. Remember pogba got a similar one given against Liverpool once. Dier doesn’t need to raise his arm head height and aim his fist upwards - that’s not natural at all.I'm actually speechless they gave that, especially when Dier is looking the other way
Defenders have a real sh*tty time with VAR more than any other position.
They're screwed.
They're screwed.
Yeh the PSG one was totally not going towards the goal at least....That's not what the rules say, but they have made it worse than it was last season
They’ve changed the rule for VAR. It’s you not understanding I’m afraid.
I wasn’t aware of that nor did I see the game yesterday. Seems a bit daft though.
It’s a penalty under the new rule. But the point is the rule is a joke.
teams should just start walking offDefenders have a real sh*tty time with VAR more than any other position.
They're screwed.
