It doesn’t. It was foul. Get over it you @#%&!s.

It was such an obvious foul too - I didn’t understand why the ref needed to watch it over and over again. From every possible angle, it was a foul.

Not according to Robbie

“It’s an old Trafford VAR”

Not a clue.

Not a £#%&!ing clue.

I didn't see you or any others sticking up for Rashford before his goals (or on Thursday) so I suspect most felt similar to Marlo - I certainly did!

Dominated the game
Ramsdale didn’t have a save to make

£#%&! me they’re a deluded bunch.

“Ramsdale didn’t have many saves to make” - was too busy picking the ball up from the back of the net
“It’s a old Trafford var” - then goes on to say officiating has been poor across the league, before reiterating that was “an old Trafford var” - just like the old days eh Robbie, when VAR didn’t exist
“We dominated them” - 3-1 you £#%&!ers

Massively satisfying stuff

Edit - His pronunciation of Jesus “Jay Zeus” ffs

I know, it happened in front of us without any slow mo replays and it looked a clear and obvious foul all day long.

The only odd thing is the ref missing it in the first place (Wtaf?) and then him spending a couple of hours analysing what was a clear foul on the var telly.

Think ian Wright said on motd that it was a clear foul all day long.

Great example of a stat £#%&!er who doesn't actually understand football.

Just had this discussion with one of my lads. Clattering into the side of your opponent without touching the ball is a foul all day. Sometimes they don't get given, but that's not going to be the case when a goal has been scored.

A soft foul is still a foul. Just as only just offside is still offside.

Great though that it was so soft

Whisper it

He's a blue @#%&!. Nothing funnier than them pretending to know what they're on about.

Ramsdale made the same number of saves as de Gea, though 2 of de Gea’s were literally just picking the ball up

VAR actually saved them from a pasting, proper VAR sees Lokonga (sp) sent off after 20 minutes, or would have last season, then they get spanked.

Truth be told we had them exactly where we wanted them for all but about 10-15 minutes, in that they were in front of us and harmless, and we were 1 or 2 passes from being clean through 4 or 5 times before Rashford scored the 2nd, they were just too stupid to realise it.

Fair enough, they move the ball well and know where each other is going to be and the movements to make to receive the ball, but they’re 2 years+ ahead of us in building that platform and recruiting the players to suit it. Instead of patting themselves on the back they should be £#%&!ing fuming, I would be.

Too many people seem to equate having the ball as controlling or dominating a game.

Plus their subs killed them. He took off their best player the ‘overthinking white board on the touchline’ £#%&!er.

Agreed. It’s a bit excruciating to watch in fairness so it’s an easy mistake to make but it is a mistake.

Great game management from Lego. Making three changes while they were on top, leaving their backline unbelievably exposed against a good counter attacking team with 20 minutes left in the game... Who could've guessed that wouldn't work.

Ffs

We conceded two goals in those 4 games. This expected goals %@#$&!s. I’d happily have some shit xG stat at 100 if it means we are conceding one goal every two games

More to the point he is 6 games into . Half the shit@#%&!s are still here. This possession and style takes time to implement . The fact that they’re already trying to use numbers (other than the only one that actually matters) shows they’re getting afraid.
