Agreed. It s pathetic really
That Maguire challenge on Digne
- Thread starter Maciej
- Start date
He got to the ball first. The tackle changed the direction of the ball and got it out of play. What’s there to talk about, seriously?
Bloody fantastic tackle, got the ball and took the man with it. Fantastic defending.
, it was offside. So it was a red card or nothingSomeone will end up getting injured by delaying the flag, but with VAR I can't see what other option they have.
I think what the OP is trying to say is that Maguire cost £80m so it should be a red card.
Is that what Giggs did, you reckon?
You just have to look at the penalty incident on Matic against Arsenal to see that these don't get given very often. That was way more reckless and two footed and nothing happened. I have a feeling that VAR would have overturned this one though, just randomly against us. Maguire makes a tackle like that and there is almost outrage but barely any mention of the situation where he got kicked above the knee by two desperate players in the opposite box, studs up. They didn't even get the ball, how that wasn't reviewed and overturned I don't understand.
He was excellent today. No foul imo, got the ball.
The Pickford/Keane smashfest on Maguire was much more of a talking point.
Same situation. Everton equalise late on and that becomes a big point.
Yet because it's not a thread that paints Maguire in a bad light there's no thread.
Clatters him after winning the ball completely clean. It wasn't reckless and dangerous. Football is a contact sport.
And it was blatantly a 50/50 situation. If you can't see that, that's on you.
That's because some of our "fans" like to stick to their view that Maguire is rubbish, irrespective of any evidence to the contrary, like his good display today.
Hence that thread about should he have given a pen away for grappling someone in another game.
Yet nothing on when he's the victim.
Not even foul, offside flag or not
non issue
non issue
I mean the challenge was worthy of a pen, obviously
If that's a foul let alone a red card, football can feck off.
Got to the ball first and was only ever going to be 1 winner of any contest for the ball. Not a red nor a penalty. Forward shouldn’t have put his foot in there after the ball had been played.
If people are looking to ban slide tackles, it’ll be very very detrimental to the game.
After the match my main issue is how Pickford basically booted Maguire, got nowhere near the ball and that was nothing?

Are you suggesting that was a red card or just asking hypothetically?
My other question would be, are you a Man Utd fan?
If that had been Lindelof he would have been slaughtered ten times and it would have been alright but since it's Maguire it's not ?
When two players challenge for the ball like that, one player, generally, will get to the ball first, so both feet will come into contact with each other, so why does that have to be regarded as a foul or a reckless challenge. It appears to me that the player who loses the challenge will scream as if shot, looking for a free kick or pen. Association Football is a contact sport. As for the assault on Maguire from both Keane and Pickford, how that isn't deemed a needlessly reckless, I'll never know.
Proper legit tackle that. Don't know why the commentators thought something more needs to be done! Got the ball and caught the player in the follow through.
What are you talking about?????
The guy basically thinks the entire thread is an agenda against Maguire ? And no it's not. If Lindelof had made a similar change, he would have been slaughtered even more.
There was a stonewall penalty a minute earlier.
Also, this somehow ended with a foul against Martial.

Commentators had no idea what they were talking about. He slid in front of the player, took the ball and then the player. Good, hard and clean challenge. Had he been running towards the player and made that challenge then different story. But it was never a penalty if onside...
Offside flag was up after the tackle was made.
No, it wasn't Maguire already had a look at it.
The tackle was probably harder than it needed to be but Maguire did well there.
No surprise Everton stopped with their thuggish behaviour once Maguire showed that he'll dish them out back.

I don't think there was anything in it, irrespective of who did it.
Imo if not for the offside the VAR would have easily called this a pen but your opinion, no problem.
Nothing to discuss it was a good tackle.
Roy Keane fecking loved that tackle anyway.
Cant believe this is even a discussion tbh
I reckon he did it knowing he couldn't be touched for it without exposing the hypocrisy of him not being given a pen at the other end.
Was offside you cannot win a penalty from offside. I’d suggest you go read up on the rules.
Got to the ball first and played it fairly.
Good from Maguire to give them a hard tackle after their cnutish behavior.
uhuh
I was wondering the same. How was a foot so high not judged to be dangerous play.
Good tackle. Move on.
For me it was a great tackle. Ok he got some of the man but I thought that was pretty fair.
Over the years, pundits repeating over and over that any challenge on the ball is never a foul has basically brainwashed viewers. I have never seen it as a rule written that if a player gets the ball first then whatever happens afterwards between the playes is basically ok.
Maguire got very very lucky
