Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace match thread

Presumably because at the time the referee doesn't deem the action as dangerous play (IE not close enough to another player).

That's fair enough but how often has a defender been injured by an opponent doing an overhead kick?

Sam Barrott. Also not flavour of the month in Burnley at the moment.

He was the 4th official on Sunday.

Apart from holding up the board with the time added on, I don’t know exactly what the 4th official actually does, so I don’t know whether he shares any responsibility for Sunday’s debacle.

Never trust anyone who can't spell his own surname.

If you raise your foot above head height its a foul. As with shirt pulling or pushing an opponent the ref tends to let it go if its in no way harming or threatening to harm someone. In this case there was a threat because Maguire was close enough to have been kicked in the face (and obviously pretended he had been)

Which is a bookable offence ungentlemen Conduct and simulation
