We were taught at school !
Never pick the ball up in the penalty area always kick it back.
They mustn’t have had that at Mings school.

Given the reason it wasn’t given in the Arsenal game there’s no consistency in Europe either.
How can two refs have so different views of the laws of the game.?

Ref said “ I wouldn’t give a penalty for just a kids mistake.” In Arsenal match.
According to the commentary team.

Ultimately it is the players (Mings) mistake and its cost us a point, pretty harsh judgement in my opinion, hes clearly not doing a single thing to gain an advantage or waste time or anything, but the law is the law and he broke it.

Im sure he is kicking himself today, alas, we move on to Liverpool this weekend for another loss.

Bad run of form for villa atm but all faith that its just a blip.

This ref must have been a golfer - rules are rules and leniency is not tolerated!

Man Utd draw away to Fenerbache was seen as a really poor result and performance by some.

Will be interested what the reaction will be towards Spurs performance away to Galarasary if it stays like this. Only just tuned in to be fair, but by sounds of the commentators, Spurs are being absolutely battered and extremely lucky to be only 3-1 down.

 

[Swango1980]

And, right on schedule, Spurs make it 3-2

For God's sake, Swango, say no more!
It was all going so well until you popped in.

Galatasaray are far superior to Fenerbache and by quite a distance

The front three is very good - Icardi , Osimhen and Akgun supported by players like Mertens

But Spurs are very open as usual

Yes, Galarasary are much better. They should have scored 7 or 8 versus Spurs, and I only caught the last 60 minutes. If you can believe it, Galatasary were even more wasteful than Utd at West Ham

Wiping out a player in the box, no penalty. Accidental hand ball from a deflected ball a yard away, stone wall penalty.

Gotta love European referees / rules

 

[Slime]

How is that not a penalty?

Would love to compare Amads running stats to Rashford.

Feels like he has run more in the first 24 minutes than Rashford has done since August 2023

 

[Slime]

Amad is eons ahead of Rashford in pretty much every respect, but I think Amorim will see that straight away.

 

[PaulMdj]

Chelsea 4-0 up inside 28 minutes, some great attacking football.

Rashford is taller

6-0 in 41 minutes

Robbie Savage is just as poor a commentator as he was a footballer.

 

[Swango1980]

Rashford is taller

Although, Amad is better in the air

Best player in a United shirt tonight. Good finish that.

Chelsea doing fantastic against Armenian super club FC Noah, founded in 2017. Currently 4th in their domestic league, finished 2nd last season.
