Oh, and United thrashed Newcastle 1-4 this evening.
Captain Maguire getting on the score sheet, too!

Just thought I'd mention it, you know, try and change the subject a bit.

Ah the nuances of football - I'm sure the team with 1 goal is Newcastle United ?‍??
But well played.

That’s were we disagree, I don’t believe he set out to injure VVD, I saw it as Pickford spreading himself low to block the ball and coming in to contact with VVD.

Clumsy? Absolutely!
Intentional? No, not for me.

Nobody has said it was intentional iirc, its just a very poor tackle that any player of any side is capable of making.

Accept its a poor tackle, red card and move on.

Or are we gonna continue with tit for tat, whataboutery?

A poor tackle is not an automatic Red Card.

No one has denied it wasn’t poor, totally agree and have stated if it wasn’t for the offside call it was a penalty.

It seems the whataboutery must continue until all blues agree with all reds.

You believe that tackle wasn't a red??

Not at all.

Read your post as 2 questions, the not at all was in reference to your bold bit, otherwise, why was it in bold?

Your turn now, any comment on the 2 Mane incidents? 2 Yellow? 1 Yellow and 1 Red?
First one for sumulation, yes Gomes boot was high, but never made contact, 2nd one? Straight Red for kicking out?

Mane is a diver everyone knows that. He goes down far to easy.
But my take is of the officials again.
They don’t give a foul when it is ,so players go down to make sure they get it.
Then everyone calls them divers. Catch 22.
Every team in the league got one or two.

So you want Refs to be interviewed to explain their decisions, but by the looks of it, it’s ok for some players to fool the Refs into wrong decisions because every club has a cheat or two.

Yes I do .
And any player diving should be looked at by the POST MATCH DIVING PANEL.
And appropriate bans to show the PL is serious about stopping it.
Can’t see any other way everything they have tried has failed.
You want to show me where I said “it was OK”

Wow.......I'll leave it there then.

You knew this last night when we chatted? Why ask again?

It would be a sad, boring world mate if everyone agreed with everything.

I was hoping you'd seen the light ??

 

[fundy]

I'm playing with 3 Arsenal fans tomorrow, I hope I dont get the urge to take the proverbial ??

33% possession and 1 shot at home to Brighton, and that from the penalty spot, crack on taking the proverbial out of our performance at City

Just seen the Palace Pen......stunned.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Just seen the Palace Pen......stunned.

Bizarrely enough, not long before at the other end there had been some wrestling at a corner. Ref stops the corner being taken, talks to the 2 players. Corner gets taken, defender wraps arms around the attacker, ref has a clear view, does nothing. Up the other end shortly after..........................

I believe the technical term is 'soft'

 

[fundy]

West Ham not done their homework then lol

Only need to read the replies to him from many Liverpool to see they are embarrassed by him or think it’s a parody account set up to take the mick.

Either way it’s a funny read.

If genuine I am sure every club has someone equally delusional following them.
