WCL 25/26 | Atletico Madrid v United - 17:45 Thurs 16 Oct

Shocking decision. How they've decided that is a red AFTER Var is ridiculous
 
What the hell. Looks like she mostly pulls out and accidently catches her late. A foul yeah, a yellow sure. Red for what?

Don’t think she pulls out of the challenge, it’s just her trailing leg catches Gio’s
 
Who instigated that red card check? That person has to be fired? Simply inept to his or her job! A proper joke, I am so mad now!
 
I’d probably take Toone or Rolfö off and look at playing on the counter in the next half
 
The lack of accountability of refs sometimes in sport is so frustrating

And VAR, how the feck did they fool the ref by sending her to the screen thinking she missed a possible red card? UNBELIEVABLE!

Riviere has a yellow card as well, we have to be careful to not get another one sent off!
 
What a ludicrous decision that red was. When did we start giving reds based on the injury
 
Well that was the worst red card decision I think I've ever seen.The referee hasn't got a clue.i hope Skinner has a melt down at half time at the officials.
 
The ref clearly fecked up by basing her decision entirely on the injury, as that was the bit of the replay she kept looking at, rather than the challenge itself.

So it should be a simple matter to get the suspension overturned. That doesn’t help us tonight, unfortunately.

That’s the problem with VAR at the screen. It should be shown back at full speed - everything looks worse at super slowmo
 
There is no contact between the players, there are 3 different replays. Its a yellow card for diving on Madrid player if anything. Its not even a foul by Janssen. it not a free kick to Madrid even! I thought they were checking for a red card for simulation on the Madrid player at first!

Mate, Gio’s leg is bent the wrong way. It looks like it could be a fracture and dislocated ankle, Janssen’s trailing leg clearly catches her
 
VAR should be blamed more than the ref, they had no business calling the ref to the monitor. We know how easily refs get pressurised when they have to rewatch their initial decisions.
 
Cool, Disney sucks and won't let me watch live, just goes to the complete start of coverage. feck off you piece of shit app.

Edit: Figured out how to fast forward. Even though I chose the watch live option.

Not in the replays I have watched. Its perfectly possible to get that injury without contact! Calling it a reckless foul is a proper joke! On the replayes the ref looked at it certainly was not clear there was any contact.

Yep, really annoying. It did it to me last night despite hitting watch live, at least I spotted it before kickoff tonight.
 
Never a red. The ref / VAR were looking at the player and her injury, and changed it to red. Poor refereeing.

Besides that, a really great half from United. Should have scored 1-2 more, and have the 3 points in the bag already. Might be a difficult 45 min now with a player down..
 
As expected, Gabby George enters the field. Naalsund as well. Toone & Terland off.
 
On a more positive note....

On Sunday I had (what turned out to be) a premature panic after the first half: Things were looking bad and it seemed like The Universe was aligned against us. But there was something important that I inexcusably forgot at the time: This United team has grit and determination like no other. We can do this!
 
The female refs are now competing with the male refs to see who can be most incompetent at their jobs. Suppose you can be as useless as you want when you're never held accountable.
 
Again the main problem with our play in the first half was that we only scored once. We had chances but didn't take them.

The VAR call on that red is infuriating - they called it based on the injury. It was a foul, it wasn't violent play or excessive force.

I can see why we made the changes but it will let Atletico pile forward. I'm nervous that Rivière may her targeted now.
 
Amazing analysis from the Disney+ co-commentator. “United are playing more defensive compared to the first half.” Yeah, no shit.
 
That’s the third barge from behind by an Atleti player and only just got a yellow card

One of those things that commentators say just for the sake of having something to say.
 
Can’t play in this area of the pitch all game, we need to be stopping them further out
 
Another chance from Riviere fecking around not clearing the ball, just fecking send it to Atleticos corner flag at first chance!
 
We’re giving them far too much space and respect. I know we are a player down but we’re standing off them far too much
