Manchester United v Fulham : FA Cup Quarter Final : Match Thread

If the pen wasn't given they would've said it was controversial but Fulham fully deserved the win.

Even Keane was going on about ‘not getting the decisions at the big grounds’. Fulham had far less to complain about than we did last week. Against Southampton. In our big team ground.

The narrative has to be that the game turned on a decision. It turned on a Fulham player deciding to handle the ball on the line. The decision was simple.

(Also worth noting that the ref didn’t actually give it)

First line of the BBCs game report:

"Manchester United came from a goal down to beat nine-man Fulham and reach the FA Cup semi-finals with a controversial victory at Old Trafford."

Only against us could a player deliberately and unquestionably handle the ball on the line and have it labelled ‘controversial’.

You even had that #@&%! Matterface in commentary speculating that it might have not been going in.

Of course it wasn't going in. His hand was in the way!

Amazing what an accurate report can do. Certainly makes a difference from the Etihad mouthpiece on the BBC website.

It’s wonderful to see Erik embracing the Peaky lifestyle. For me, this confirms that he is the perfect manager for us.

would have been more accurate if they noted the ref gave us £#%&! all and that the mitrovic penalty call was about the only decision he got right til the handball.

Are highlights on motd2?

19 games to go, potentially, already played more than any other team in Europe I think. Mad. EL is brutal.

Unbelievably the Guardian rambling on about two clear penalties for Fulham. Maybe not so unbelievable. The piss boiling is ramping up.

What?

Mitrovic fouled Martinez on one and can hardly complain about a bot of jostling considering that all he does.

Not sure who the co-pilot was but he and Tyler were surprisingly compliant with all 3 red cards.

They should be hit for failing to control players, manager, coaching staff, bus driver etc
