Not sure how the Ipswich player got away without a booking there - he is very lucky to be still on the pitch

Ipswich v Villa is very entertaining. Ipswich may not survive this season but on this showing they will be a good watch. Some slick passing, fast feet and pace up front.

Careful. You’ll be calling them “Plucky Little Ipswich” next!

That’s a great goal from Delap , been impressed with him today

Apalling really from the referee.

The hypocrisy is infuriating isn’t it?

As is the lack of consistency - even in the same damm game!!!!

Forest have a penalty given against them when Murillo, while looking upwards at the flight of the ball, accidentally scrapes the back of the leg of a Fulham player. Ref doesn’t give it but VAR tell him to go and look again. And of course when you slow it right down and look at stills, it looks worse than it actually was.

Yet in the SAME game, the SAME ref waves this away as well and the SAME VAR team don’t see enough in it to ask him to take a second look.

I know we won’t get consistency on these soft challenges between different referee teams and different games. But is it REALLY too much to ask for consistency by the same team in the same game?!

For the record, I don’t think either were worthy of awarding a penalty. But if you give the first, how can you possibly not give the second????

I thought that was a stonewall penalty. Was surprised to hear the motd boys say they didn't think it was a pen.

Ha ha, I'm not a commentator/ pundit. It's whether they have the quality over a season to convert their chances. They have certainly created today. I hope at least 1 promoted team stays up, better for the league to have fresh teams.

Ipswich look more than capable of staying up with the way they are playing at the moment, they don’t appear to be scared of playing their own football and taking the game to the opposition

How the hell has a CB been allowed to run that far unchallenged and then Johnson with all the space in the world in the box

[Lord Tyrion]

Oh my word . He's a defender? Stunning.

 

[Slime]

Rashford ............................................... just get him off!

 

[nickjdavis]

Just like last season...Man U are susceptible to anyone running at the heart of their defence with any sort of pace.

Just went straight through the midfield first and then the left back just standing there watching Johnson have all the space in the world - comical

 

[Billysboots]

That was borderline cowardice from Rashford. Pulled out of that challenge like a schoolboy.

Awful start.

 

[clubchamp98]

He didn't get a red, he got a second yellow, leading to a red and totally different to getting a straight red card. How about some consistency in your commenting. See how difficult it is

Refs must be pedants as well then.
We discussed it enough to know what I meant .
But if you want the full explanation every time your going to be disappointed.

He got a red and that challenge was half of it.

He got a yellow card for the challenge not a red

Ffs I know.

 

[Billysboots]

This is pretty bad.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Spurs cutting through utd with ease but only one goal in it. Utd are poor but they can score.

 

[Pin-seeker]

This is pretty bad.

Awful,making even basic passes look hard work.
