We should have been down to 10 but that's not a pen.

No way that's a pen, for me.
It's a penalty. Blaming the referee for this shit show of a second half is passing the buck.
Please stop. It's a penalty. Of course he makes a meal of it but if that useless donkey keeps his clumsy, slow feet to himself, there's no problem.
Of course it's a penalty. Fellaini was foolish.
Are we not allowed to point out bad decisions? It's what this thread is for. We deserved to concede because of our negative tactics but we must be able to point out bad decisions. For me that was one.
It looked a penalty to me, and Rojo's tackle was disgraceful and should've been a straight red.
We can't complain with that.

It was a penalty, but I knew the usual array of tools would have their rose coloured specs on and try to pass the buck on United. Wait for it........ out will come the usual, "luck" argument.
You get a pen for that every single time, contact in the box nowhere near the ball, pen.
I absolutely despise fellaini
It was a clear penalty. If that wasn't a pen, we have no right to claim Valencia should have had a pen versus Arsenal
Seen it again. Yes, Fellaini at fault.
For me, the Rojo decision is balanced out by the leniency shown to Barry. But as far as the penalty, Fellaini made it easy for Oliver. When the feck is Mourinho going to learn that bringing on Fellaini rarely, if ever, has a positive impact. I'd much rather bring on Juan Mata, with the ball control, calm head, and, dare we even think, goal-scoring ability that he possesses, none of which Fellaini brings to the table. Or failing that, bring on Blind, but not fecking Fellaini.
I totally understand you want to shout dive because no way was the contact enough to bring him down, but, was a pen
Penalty for me.
Agreed, Oliver actually had a decent game.
Blind seems like a much better choice to defend a lead.
If anything we should have had a player sent off today in Rojo.
Not a pen for me either. Clearly falling to floor before fellaini near him.
Yeah it hurts to admit it as I can't stand that chinless gimp, but Mourinho has nothing to complain about today, as opposed to previous matches in which I felt he had legitimate grievances.
You have a point, but I think Rojo's was even more of a lunge. Red and Yellow would've been correct perhaps
Rojo's non-sending-off will long be remembered by neutrals I'm sure (certainly more so than all the bookable offences Barry survived) but at least we had one referee decision go our way I suppose.
The ref had a poor game today, he was very inconsistent. As for the penalty it was clearly the correct decision, to think otherwise is laughable.
It's literally every game. I'm absolutely baffled how we are getting denied clear pens week after week.
Lol, I was wondering when this would get bumped. Just no. Not a penalty. This delusion must stop.
This is insane. I haven't seen a single clear cut penalty not given today.
Hint: just because the crowd screams doesn't mean it should be given.
The Herrera one was hardly a penalty.

50/50 if you ask me. One of those "seen them given" penalties.
Whatever. We get feck all from Refs now. Absolutely nothing.
Has Tottenham gotten any cards at all?
Which one of them? The one were the Spurs player played the ball or the one where Herrera went down under minimal contact? In either case, this thread would be rave with conspiracy theories if they had given a penalty in the other end.
They have now, Walker.
Wanyama too.
Given up. The standard of refereeing in all corners of football has been the worst I've ever seen this season, at all age groups and levels.
It's been a pretty much perfectly refereed game. The level of delusion in this thread is Mourinho esque. Embarrassing.
On second thought, bring on Fellaini and play him right wing and tell him be liberal with his elbows.
Not sure why this is bumped at all - there was one that could have been given, and it looked 50/50 on the replay - the rest no. Some soft fouls were given, but that was for both ends. Nothing wrong with the ref today.
Watching on a less than clear picture, the only one I was worried could be a pen was when Jones sent Dyer over late on.
But on a closeup replay it was a comfortably well won tackle.
Phew.

IMHO he could.have flashed more yellow cards at Spurs playera. They were fouling us like hell.
I thought the ref was great today - sensible decisions and managed to keep things calm. No complaints today.
Can't believe that some posters on here thought that today's ref was OK. I've just got back home from Old Trafford and believe me, Madley was as bent as the rest of the Premier League refs have been this season. The number of free kicks he gave Spurs when their players fell over, with a real reluctance to give us anything. We only started to get free kicks in the second half when the crowd's hostility must have got through to him. Fortunately, we didn't give him an opportunity to give them a penalty, because he was giving them the benefit of any 50/50 challenges. Not to mention how Spurs got off lightly with only 3 yellow cards.
The Premier League referees this season at Old Trafford are by far the worst I've ever seen in 54 years of watching football. The only decent refs we've had have been the Europa League ones.

I thought the same mate, but it was a great tackle that I missed through watching on a shitty stream
.How bad was your picture, that was Rose wasn't it?
