Premier League 2019–?

Unpopular opinion, but I like the handball rule on attacking players when it leads to a goal.

 

[sausage]

The rules have changed. Makes contact with the ball is against the rules now. Any touch by the hand from an attacking player, intent or not, is immediately handball. It’s not VAR that Needs questioning there, it’s the rule.

The United goal? I don’t think VAR would give that challenge on Origi as a penalty in this country, so technically it’s being consistent if nothing else.

I just hate the way VAR is used here. Just who it on the big screen so the red can see it, get them mic’d up so we can all hear the decision being talked through and let the fans inside the stadium see it. It’s really simple

Especially if they clarify a rule at the same time (e.g. the rules state any contact with the hand by and attacker, intentional or not...)


I feels like people have said "VAR - you can't get it wrong" and the PL have said "hold my beer...."

Diver

Daniel James is an odious cretin. Absolute diver and cheat, the worst in the game currently.

Playing for the manager. That's how manure are doing it. At least OGS still motivating his team.

We on the other hand... And I have no idea how Poch can still say that's the first step to building our confidence. Ffs.

Don't read too much into it. It's the biggest game for Utd.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

That was a foul surely

Omg such mentality from the team I'll be gutted. No wonder we can't even beat Colchester.

Liverpool’s balance is their greatest asset, so take away one of their key components and they look out of kilter. Their forward depth is surprisingly poor which just highlights this further. It’s quite amazing that their front three were virtually ever-present last season.

Derby game basically, like Arsenal turning up for us, next week back to usual

James looks out of it

 

[slartibartfast]

Call the game off.
James has a nose bleed.
Fk me .

 

[SugarRay]

James looks out of it

It was a tidy hit he took but again, he takes a look around and then decides he’ll stay down. He actually took the knock well and could have got straight up.

 

[SugarRay]

United sitting too deep now

Guess the CL finals not big enough for Poch and the lads then.

Point is we need a reaction for recent rotten run. Manure had that, and today they reacted. We did not.

Except he is right. Liverpool should be 1-0 up. United's goal should have been disallowed and no way can that Mane decision be considered handball. Nothing he could have done about that.

Very strange take, personally I thought the Utd goal was nowhere near being given as a free kick (barely touches his shin pad let alone kicking him enough to go down clutching a different part of his leg). And the handball if his arm wasn’t there then the ball would have safely run through to De Gea

Agree. He's a fkin pussy and cheating.
I'd make sure next time I clonked him he wouldnt fkin get up again. Teach him to roll around the floor the soft shit lol.

 

[yankspurs]

Oh Rashford. You’ve gotta get that on target

 

[slartibartfast]

I reckon Klopp will be sacked when we thump them 5.0 next weekend lol.


Fk this whiskey is strong.

United are wasting time like a relegation candidate. Embarrassing.
