Manchester United (A) Post Match Thread 1 - 1

[m4DD0gg]

Van Gaal describes the Fellaini elbows as "A normal reaction" to having his hair pulled and then confirmed his opinion when challenged about it. Hope no children were watching and that the F.A. were. Hairpulling has never caused fractured eye sockets, broken cheekbones, broken teeth or unconsciousness. Looks like Van Gaal had a few in his time with the state of his "pig that has run into a brick wall" face.

 

Granted but to be fair it is ****ing low to pull an opponents hair which Huth clearly does.

 

Imagine you are playing footy and some one pulls your hair (if you have any) how would you react?

[foxes_rule1978]

By impeding you mean what?

Maybe they were grabbing each other but huth was assaulted once and nearly twice before he tugged his barnet... Then he came in with another furious elbow!

Exactly, too many seem to think a shirt tug or arm over the shoulder (these happen every game) results in the same punishment as an elbow and fist in the face

[jammie82uk]

Yes it does, Rooney should have had 3 yellow cards in the game, the one he got, the pull back on Grey and the wiping out of Ulloa in the first half. For whatever reason England have Rooney as Captain, there is no way the FA will look into DD and his red card and not look into the conduct of Rooney only side show Bob will have a call from the FA

I'm not denying he should have had the yellows but Rooney won't get done for it he is in the refs ear every single game and has been for a many a year now without punishment

If it's in the refs report and I fully expect it will be then Drinkwater will be done by the same charge Vardy got

And even tho fellani should definitely get a call from the FA I fully expect him to get away with it like he has done in the pass

The point is, weve seen tugs of the arm and shoulder be given as penalties.

 

And frankly, Huth doesnt mind being physical either, so when he gets some of his own medicine back its part and parcel of the game for me.

[LJS]

I'd rather Fellaini not be punished because if they look at the video they'll see Huth pulling his hair and I wouldn't be surprised if that resulted in a charge.

Depends on whether it's pubic or not!

Yes he does, and guess what it wasn't him complaining... just I'm going on about how inconsistent the refs are. Drinkwater was sent off and now will miss a game for barely touching the Man U players

[yorkie1999]

Couldnt believe the stewards kicking that old lady out for jumping up when we scored. Sad acts.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Absolutely no need to shout cheat and conspiracy though mate, let's take a leaf out of Claudio's book and show a bit of class.

I genuinely don't think the establishment want is to win it

I mean genuinely aswell

Entitled to my opinions (even I do hope they are wide of the mark)

Sent off for tugging back two players who were advancing free of him.

 

You wear blue glasses, its ok, we all do. Sometimes you just have to be honest.

You are of course entitled Bob. But personally I think you're wrong. No conspiracy. We hopefully will do it by tomorrow eve.

I respectfully think your opinion is naff.

not at all, if the ref was willing to send off seven other players during the game then that is consistency .. don't be blind to the fact the ref was crap

[Sharpe's Fox]

After last week after the semi and today Van Gaal is definitely having some sort of meltdown. Come to think of his obsession with possession could mean he is that moron on the Utd forum.

[Donut]

Seven other players werent breaking free into dangerous positions at the time

 

Ill give you the Rooney one, but the referee wasnt crap.

[The Doctor]

The problem there is that if you call those bookings then rooney absolutely had to walk for his tug on Grey, his grab is far more considerable than either of drinkwaters cards. It's the consistency that's the problem, not that drinkwater got sent off.

[majaco]

We were robbed at Old Trafford.  Tradition,

 

Drinkwater's sending off (unlike Vardy's) was correct.  Man U should have had a penalty.

 

But before that, Leicester had the clearest penalty and United should have been down to ten men.  

 

We are top, we have lost three games.  Refs are scared to give decisions our way.  Eight points clear.

I suppose yes, he could have pulled it back, but he was playing advantage at the time i guess.

 

Only really debateable decision for me.

[foxes_rule1978]

Anyway 8 points clear with Spurs only having 3 left is pretty much what dreams are made of... no way did I feel that would be the case even recently

[Guest kristianity77]

Playing the advantage was the correct decision. But it still shouldn't change the fact a card should come out when the passage of play ends. Didn't seem like the ref gave the play on sign anyway did he. So seems he either didn't spot it or oddly didn't deem it foul (which it absolutely was)

[Thracian]

You are of course entitled Bob. But personally I think you're wrong. No conspiracy. We hopefully will do it by tomorrow eve.

 

 

 

I don't necessarily think there's a conspiracy but the top referees referee the top teams so often they become too close for comfort and perhaps wish to do all they can to aid their cause - or not hinder it - when the chance arises, particularly at home when most of us might be intimidated by the local crowd.

 

Again, it all points to the use of new technology so I'd love to hear what the authorities have got against it and why?  Because home crowds have shown themselves to be consistently lousy referees in my experience.

Out of interest, did you think the ogbonna grab on vardys shoulder in the penalty area was a foul (pebalty) too?

I'd love some referee or football authority representative to explain why that wasn't a penalty I was with a Manchester United fan and he had no doubt it was a spot kick.

Exactly, can't understand how anyone can call the ref fair or consistent that is my point. I'm not calling conspiracy I didn't even after the West Ham game but I know a poor ref when I see one, today he was exactly that.

anyway we are only top because we are consistent against the teams below us ..

I hope we do and I hope you are right
