    Why are Redknapp and Neville refusing to acknowledge Shaw clearly getting a touch on the ball before he makes contact with the player?

    Because it doesn't make a difference to their point. If that's a dangerous challenge (it isn't) then it's a red regardless of touching the ball.
     
    It's also ironic this type of goal is disallowed against Burnley of all teams. :lol:

    What a load of old balls you are talking. You might as well say that Man Utd's home ground is the The Etihad.

    I wish it was - we don't win at OT :)
     
    On top of getting top of the table, beating these clowns means they are that much closer to relegation.
     
    Might be controversial but I'd take off cavani. Put rashford to the left, Greenwood to the right and mctominay on for matic.

    Not going to bulldoze our way in
     
    Don't see how the discussion on that is why Shaw didn't get sent off! The effing biased media.

    That was the most one sided refereeing I have seen in a half of football. Maybe Friend is a Liverpool fan?
     
    I hope we come out quicker than we did in the first half, could use a win here so there's a bit less pressure going into the Liverpool game due to having a cushion over them

    Hate playing Burnley- them and Wolves always result in horrible tumescent games
     
    We need to move the ball quicker. When they come up the pitch we counter attack, fast play. No standing on the ball looking around
     
    If we can win in the second half we’ll have done it with everything against us. Would be a terrific result.

    Maguire scored a fantastic goal there, that was a disgraceful decision.

    AWB is awful.

    Rashford back to walking football and feels as if he is the most important person in the world. RUN FFS!!!

    To see Ole smiling as we walked off at half time...I don’t get it

    I think it was in mocking disbelief over the ref's performance.
     
    We need to speed this up, one touch passing. The forwards need to find the spaces and keep making those runs. Standing still will not win us this game. Be like Cavani. Run for everything, chase everything, close the ball down. We need to get our tails up and then go for the throat. See the game out. Still all the play for, they will tire eventually.

    Friend used a lot of time to tell Maguire he was not happy with Cavani's protests (mostly after Cavani got an elbow to his face that went unpenalised). Throughout, Burnley was allowed to play their special variety of foot-rugby. But Maguire got ruled out because he happened to have his arm still attached to his shoulder while jumping. The mind wobbles...

    I'm United through and through like you mate. But you can't call that gentle arm to Cavani an elbow!
     
    It's hard not to be critical of a lineup that leaves 3 of our 5 offensive players playing out of their best position. Pogba, Rashford and Martial. It shows, too.
     
    Greenwood on for Rashford, please. Abysmal half by Nev on commentary, he's trying too hard to come across as neutral, that or to please his coroprate friends in London... Clueless sums him up well!

    The slowmo vs realtime is irrelevant. Every foul is evaluated in slowmo. It is a clear foul - no questions about that... They are spending the time to assess if it is a red card or not. The fact that he does touch the ball probably makes them conclude with a yellow, which I agree with, but the way Shaw follows through with his studs and hits high on the shin makes it a clear foul. In general, getting to the ball doesn't make everthing OK. For example, even if you hit the ball clearly, but your foot is showing studs, with great force and high on the oppositions leg - it will be a red even if you are going through the ball. It's a bigger question if this is a "clear and obvious" error enough by the ref for them to go that far back in time.

    I agree that the Cavani situation should result in a red and the disallowed goal by Maguire does look soft. The defender gets rewarded for backing into Maguire and not jumping. It's the arm in the upper back from Maguire that's the issue.

    I don’t think it’s a foul mate

    Agree. Cavani cannot get that space he needs in their box.

    Probably. Part of me also thinks Maguire's been penalised because he's a bit bigger too. If Greenwood does something like that do they pull it back?

    And we again saw classic defender move. Defender goes down and gets a foul. If he stayed up, goal would stand. Defenders today are huge divers
     
    Burnley are going to hound the ref if Shaw breathes on someone. I don't trust Fiend to deal with it

    The game where we lost our heads. We're more likely to finish in 10 then they are.

    Ah yeah excellent game plan to have the refs feck over the other team and bail out a clear goal to get them annoyed...

    I don't see how we lost our heads anyway. Because Bruno got a yellow for talking back?
