Man Utd 1-1 LCFC - Post Match Thread

Hmm. Just looked at MoD. Nacho did hook Varane's leg. That was the first questionable move. Plus Tielemans tackle (and KDH's) to initiate the move were superb.

[Bryn]

Did I miss it or did MOTD not even show McTominay’s tackle?

Look at the incident as a whole. Was Varane pushing Nacho? Was it really clear and obvious requiring VAR intervention? 

 

The game loses integrity if VAR picks and chooses which incidents to review. It's possible to find something wrong in most goals if you look hard enough from every angle, use slow-mo and stills.

Just watched the highlights on sky. 
Could Tyler sound anymore depressed after Nacho scored? Twat.

VAR gives us something to talk about I guess, not that I want to. We talk about the incident itself and VAR just adds a dimension.

 

For me, I no longer concern myself about VAR decisions. They've become part of the game, I accept them just as I would a ref's decision. Not to say I always agree with them but I just don't get wound up by them. 

 

I thought McTominey was worthy of red but I can't really call Nacho's challenge; I can see why it was given (courtesy of slow mo, and in isolation) but I'm not sure I agree, it was a mess of legs from all concerned. The minute one stops the footage and says 'make a decision' then, yes, it's always likely to get called out.

Michelle Oliver was on VAR he loves to try and dictate a game.

 

VAR needs investigating

[majaco]

I am still seething at VAR this morning.  Brighton, West Ham, Arsenal, Man Utd.   That is potentially 8 points.   We would have beaten Brighton, West Ham and Manchester.  Maybe we'd have lost at Arsenal anyway.

 

There was no clear and obvious error for our goal.  It's institutionalised cheating.

 

My seething has increased having read the VAR thread.  @Lambert09reminded me we were through on goal when the game was stopped  Therefore , the ref can only have stopped the game to issue a red card.  He must have remembered where he was!  At the time, I assumed one of our players would be sent off as my eyes had followed the ball.

 

Marriner may not have done it deliberately but he fixed the match.  Appalling refereeing.  Appalling VAR.

[East Langton Fox]

The referee should be referred to the monitor where there has been a clear and obvious error made by him in the decision he has made he. In this case not awarding a foul against Iheanacho. This wasn’t a clear and obvious error as evidenced by the discussions on social media so we were robbed!

Kasper's clearance didn't help matters. His distribution really does create us problems sometimes, which he counter balances by keeping us in games.

Amartey’s pass, kasper’s clearance, the way we deal with the second ball, Kasper’s save, Justin’s positioning… it’s all just so avoidable.

 

look at how hard we had to work for our goal and then we gift wrap one for them 4 minutes later. 

[dannythefox]

Forget everything else we’ve been done there yet again. Var is for the big clubs trying there best to get the big 6 back together.

He was terrible. Almost willed Utd to score and when they didn't he was equally as disappointed as to when we did open the scoring. 

 

And referenced 'Ralfy time' which should immediately be a sackable offence.

He should of retired years ago. 
Hated his smugness in the Arsenal game saying it’s hardly the champions league quarter finals after referring to Europa conference.

Another good shift from Nacho, hopefully John Percy’s report is wrong and we don’t move him on in the summer.

Apart from scoring he was bloody awful. all the finesse of of an Elephant.

Was it 2 seasons ago they gave a penalty for a less than clear cut foul by Soyuncu and didn't even consider VAR?

Why they have 2 Man U fans commenting on their games I don’t know. It’s a joke. 

[Clever Fox]

It went pretty much as I thought it would and predicted a draw. Though the goal should have stood. Var bias again. 

If Var is scrutinizing games so closely, how are they still getting so much wrong.

[East Langton Fox]

Just heard the announcer on Radio 5 saying Manchester United held by Leicester. No, it should be the other way around. Presumably an acquaintance of Martin Tyler.

I know people are slating neville for his bias, but I think the worse is martin tyler. Constant wank*** off about Man Utd. Screeching down the microphone everytime they had a chance, endlessly repeating how poor we are at defending set pieces.

I love your use of asterisk - “ing” is definitely offensive!!! 
 

I agree though Martin Tyler is a toss**

[BraunstoneFox23]

Having slept on it, I’m still annoyed about the result and the VAR debacle, but I’m trying to frame it in a different way. We are disappointed with 4 points out of 6 from Man U, that’s how far we’ve come. This could be the start of a resurgence and we could easily make a charge for the top 6 now.

[gerblod]

Looked again in terms of real time - it's just a scrap for the ball between Nacho and Varane - who comes off worst. Certainly no foul.

I also wondered whether McTominay saw an opportunity to nobble  Madders and make it look like a 50:50. He's a dirty player at heart, so he's more likely to look for a chance to get an unfair advantage.

What the feck does that even mean? 

 

So VAR are saying its not an error but if he had been given red it wouldn't have been overturned? This game is shit

Yes - agreed. See my subsequent posts for a change of opinion.

Right but even if the foul was given for the push, it still results in no goal. 

No it doesn’t, the advantage would be played.

 

 

[David Hankey]

Very timid challenge. When you think of all the tackles made in any game it's a surprise teams don't end up with 10 bookings a side.

 

And Rangnick reckons they dropped 2 points, what  a clown, they never had 3 in the first place!!
