Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[Paul Salvage]

Unbelievable. Touch, dive, penalty, red card. Football is ruined.

It’s not football anymore. It has become a non contact sport.
I wouldn’t mind losing but to be cheated is bollox.
I’m so angry.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

He did hold him back.

So how did that make him fall forward?

 

[Tyke Exile]

What a surprise. Referee from Manchester gives Manchester United an extremely dubious penalty for a dive from a tackle outside the area and sends the opposition player off. Wish I'd put a bet on that!

 

[Palacesince64]

How can it be a goal scoring opportunity when he’d already decided to dive as soon as he got in the box?

 

[Spindle]

He did hold him back.

Oh stfu, no more than any other player everywhere else.

Grow some balls

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Cunha was barely touched with a feather. A Pen and a Red card.

the spirit of Clattenburg is alive and well.

Wharton last week committed a very clear foul to stop a very clear goal scoring opportunity. It wasn’t a challenge for the ball as he had no chance of getting it. Result, a yellow. Today Lacroix puts a hand on the should outside the area for a player running an angle to the goal. Not even a foul. Result, a red card. Astonishing refereeing

He did, and he I don’t think he needed to. I’m not surprised it’s given but I hate penalties like that, he wasn’t brought down, he decided to go down and he decided exactly when to go down. Sarr would probably have done the same though (probably wouldn’t have been given).

 

[Spindle]

And we lose Max for 3 games

Really awful decision that. Never a penalty (contact started outside the box), barely a foul, not a goalscoring opportunity. Awful.

 

[crvenaeagle]

And why the f*** is that not a yellow for Maguire?

 

[Painter]

So how did that make him fall forward?

It doesn't matter, how he fell Lacroix pulled him down on his shoulder, its quite obvious, but it started outside the box!

No he didn't. He went for the ball and got it, with the player.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

another 30 years left to play, today.

Straight Red you can appeal and they should shocking decision.

Tha Brummy clown reckons Guessand ran into donkey. McGuire knew exactly what he was doing and clattered into him

So you think it was the right call.

Pathetic

 

[dreamwaverider]

Maguire blatant foul.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

bstards. Cheats. Brown envelopes.

 

[Hannes]

And why the f*** is that not a yellow for Maguire?

This. Not even looked at the ball.
