At what point have you been led to believe that, when a ref books a player, every fan believes it was the correct decision?
The very fact Dalot got booked was likely the entire reason they booed the City player, as they felt the ref was conned

Palace just aren't a big club and have punched above their weight over the last few years off the back of some great signings. I remember going there 15 odd years ago and the ground was half empty. It's just a natural cycle. They won the FA Cup which is really special for them so they will always have that to look back on. Still think they have a decent chance of the Europa Conference League but Glasner needs to stop throwing his toys out of the pram.

I have had a bit of a rant on some City pages. Rico Lewis is a liability. He and Bernado were carried. How Cherki never got to start was beyond me. City played to many balls backwards and Utd spent most of the game facing City. Not enough balls played behind. City have a famous song, “ feed the goat and he will score”. I bet Haaland is starving tonight.
What shocks me re Utd is that is Utds best performance for an age, with the same players Amorim struggled with

Even I was screaming at the telly re that one. The goal is scored,Old Trafford goes ballistic then the linesman puts his flag up.why why flippin why. That’s what I keep banging on about, it just takes the raw emotion out of the game.

He's still better than anything on Sky these days though. His voice and Gray's hits different to the crap on there now.

Of course he is. He might be an unpleasent person but he was and still is a great broadcaster. The stuff about Pep leaving, who knows.
Sky have the likes of Micah Richard's who filmed himself banging a bird in a toilet a few years back
Numerous other dodgy stuff too and no one says anything about that. Carragher spat at a young girl while Neville is happy for some of his businesses to fail and the taxpaper pick up the cost. Nothing illegal but from someone who bangs on about morals it looks a little bit hypocritical.The current Sky set up is shocking bar Keane and even his rants have become a bit tired.

No your radio station is biased
It’s a stonewall red.
Worst thing for me is the UTD fans booing Doku for going down after the challenge,every time he got the ball.
He did Dalot a big favour getting up straight away.
I await your opinion when you see it!
He didn't get up straight away.

No, there was minimal force at the point of contact.
A poorly timed tackle, nothing sinister at all.

So just you A Taylor and Craig Pawson then

Live, from camera I didnt see it as red. In replay, I didnt see it as a red either,certainly in the first few. It was a flimsy block like tackle, although I did notice it happened to make contact with Semenyo on the knee.So just you A Taylor and Craig Pawson then
The more times I watched the replay, especially the slow motion, I felt more and more it could have been a red card. The still makes it look horrific. So based on similar incidents, yes, could easily have been red.
But, in pre VAR days, it is never a red. It wasn't an aggressive, vicious lunge that endangered the opponent. Just an accidental contact in a challenge you'd expect a player to make. In VAR days, where the officials 300 miles away are continually looking at incidents to find a reason to intervene, it could easily be red.
I know people say Senenyo was lucky. Yes, he was lucky that Dalot didnt aggressively smash into his knee and break his leg. He was lucky that Dalot flapped into the challenge with no real force, so it ultimately stung a bit, but no real damage done.
Did he intend to make contact as he did? We’d like to think no it wasn’t intentional. I certainly don’t think it was intentional. That then leads onto if he didn’t intend it, he wasn’t in control. Reckless? Dangerous?
I think he’s lucky it wasn’t a red card. I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had been a red, nor would I have had a gripe if it was a red.
I’m almost glad it wasn’t a red. 11 ‘v’ 10 would have spoiled a great match.

It is another reason I want VAR gone. Rather than expecting straight reds for aggressive, violent conduct, we expect big decisions on technicalities. Where did the studs catch the leg, red card if above a certain distance. Matters not it was a speedy 2 footed lunge, or if the player was stood still and happened to catch opponent in attempt to make challenge / interception.
Not just red cards. But goals scored, and VAR looking for the slightest of contact with goalscorers arm, that onfield ref would never see, to rule out a goal. Even though it wouldnt be a penalty if it hit defenders arm in the same way.
In VAR era, the Dalot incident will be shown many times this week, and people will (rightly) say it should be red based on historic decisions. No VAR, I doubt Sky would have shown more than one replay and we'd all have forgotten about it.
Sucks the life out of me when I see play is stopped because VAR are reviewing something

Who is Senenyo? Is he a decent player?
