Where's his notebook?  

 

It's never easy against a part time team without a notebook.

Yes, qualification is still in Celtic's hands. Except it isn't

Rodgers getting the predictable pass and excuses made for last night. One thing being thumped by Atletico, PSG, Barcelona but some of his other results in Europe are hilariously shit. 

 

In the last decade or so he has lost individual matches to Anzhi, Zenit St Petersburg, Basel, Lincoln Red Imps(!), Zorya Luhansk, Slavia Prague and Legia Warsaw.

Evans injured? Fight through that pain barrier Jonny!

[StanSP]

Evans injured again... 

[Vacamion]

 

Legs made of balsa wood.

[trabuch]

Copenhagen are awful.

[StanSP]

How is that not a red for Rashford?! 

[StanSP]

Oh wait, it is. On TNT it said check over. 

 

Not sure what his complaints are. 

[RowlattsFox]

Another one that looks worse in slow motion but you've seen plenty given for similar.

[trabuch]

Game on now. CPH 1 Manu 2 Rashford sent off 

[Vacamion]

 

Man United were coasting.

 

This is so them.

Nah for me that's bad enough in real time. Studs up on the side of the ankle/shin is never good.

Whilst the letter of the law says it's a red, I feel sorry for Rashford there. He's clearly trying to get his body between himself and the ball to shield it with no intention of hurting the opponent whatsoever.

[trabuch]

Oh I love ManU - They really are very funny.

[Vacamion]

 

That is nailed on.

It's like groundhog day with these red cards. 😀 

I'm again in the minority saying this should have not been a red. It's red ofc going strictly by the rule but I really don't like where the sport is heading now. Rashford tried to cover the ball with his body. 

[filbertway]

Jesus christ I've just seen that red  

 

Embarrassing decision. I long for the day where common sense is applied and actions are punished rather than result of actions.

The danger of the tackle overrides the intent I'd say.

Rashford would have probably been ok in the PL!

2-2 Man U the gift that keeps giving

Ayoze Perez was sent off for us for something similar but much softer.

Ten hag will be gone by end of the year
