I'd need to see it again but I am pretty sure it wasn't by his side therefore not in his natural silhouette which is what the rule is i thought?

It wasn't flush with his body from shoulder to wrist but it was down to the elbow and it was quite tucked in. Wasn't an unnatural position, didn't move the arm at all and couldn't see the flight of the ball when it was hit. Like I said though, could have been given because its VAR. Flip a coin.

On that occasion no but they're such prima donnas it's embarrassing to call it a man's game

Don't start calling it a mans game, the PC police will be onto your for your toxic masculinity!

The problem is that I have never seen a player booked or punished for overacting. I have seen hundreds of players booked and sent off as a result of someone else's play-acting. If I was a referee and the likes of Neymar rolled over 4 times after the slightest touch I would give just wave play on and keep doing it until he stopped. If he wants a decision he should stop trying to cheat and get other players sent off.

Leeds with the cheap fouls to break up play. Typical.

Dirty Leeds

Not sure about that. Both were fair attempts to make a tackle, first one he slips when he takes out Rashford and second one just didn't come off. Got cards for both as well.

James is looking for that
clueless

Ref is a joke here

Beglin is notoriously anti-Utd. He said Bruno was looking for it earlier when Philips went straight through him.

In what sense. I think he has been OK.

 

[Calpol]

I'd rake Mctominay off and bring on Pogba. The scots lad has been poor in the first half. Hopefully Ole won't leave it too late to make a change or two.

James is a poor excuse for a footballer. Horrible touch

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Fernandes

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Rashford really needs to work on his decision making

 

[fez]

Would have expected Fernandes to put that in. Does Rashford not understand that he can't just hit it really hard through 3 players and hope to score. Hes done it 3 times today.

How can Dan James make it at United but Usain Bolt not?

 

[Calpol]

He's just such an ordinary footballer. Championship standard at best but he doesn't have a match winning contribution in him and therefore He shouldn't be playing for Man United. Certainly not ahead of Diallo.

 

[adam cool dude]

Dan James is pure championship quality.

 

[fez]

Ref being a little too yellow happy IMO.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

James and Rashford for Pogba and Cavani

 

[Shamikebab]

The alioski one seemed a little harsh, but then he's been very lenient on a lot of other fouls.
