Assuming Bayern beat Gala, a draw could be ok given the situation

We'll have a pretty hard time winning any of the remaining two games.

Well Bayern needs to hurry up and score!

vanrooney · Nov 8, 2023

gameplan seems to be to get into the last 15min 2-2 and get a lucky punch

48 hours · Nov 8, 2023

Poor pass Amrabat

Ole'sgunnarwin · Nov 8, 2023

Wan Bissaka and Maguire are just too bad on the ball to keep any useful possession here

Oscar Bonavena · Nov 8, 2023

fecking hell Amrabat

Bringing on their wonderkid Roony

I've heard that before.

Manncunian · Nov 8, 2023

Amrabat a downgrade on Eriksen.

He’s awful.

No, we are shite. Clearly creative in the first 40 mins however.

Eriksen helped there, despite his other flaws. Like I said, we desperately lack creativity in the middle of the park.

Frank Grimes · Nov 8, 2023

Amrabat is shite

Barthez · Nov 8, 2023

I’m guessing we won’t be buying Amrabat at the end of the season.

RedSky · Nov 8, 2023

We really need Bayern to win. Wake up Kane.

space · Nov 8, 2023

Looks like we are just going to be hanging on

Josep Dowling · Nov 8, 2023

Mad how we were 2-0 and coasting then the game turns into this shambles. All because of the refereeing decisions. That can’t be right.

Leftback99 · Nov 8, 2023

Amrabat adds nothing.

amolbhatia50k · Nov 8, 2023

Is Bruno out there? Seems to be hiding

mu4c_20le · Nov 8, 2023

Rooney with the field goal

Kinky Melinky · Nov 8, 2023

Amrabat very poor there

THAT SHOULD BE A SECOND YELLOW YOU TWATS

Mike Smalling · Nov 8, 2023

Arguably a second yellow there.

Rightnr · Nov 8, 2023

That's a red right

48 hours · Nov 8, 2023

That should be a red

Camy89 · Nov 8, 2023

Right is that getting looked at?

No?

Shock.

Barthez · Nov 8, 2023

Had to be a Red

Walters_19_MuFc · Nov 8, 2023

Red for elbow. Cmon ref you useless twat.

MonkeysMagic · Nov 8, 2023

When Utd are decisive in their passing we look dangerous, like the first 40 min. But now our mindset is to close shop and we look toothless going forward. This will only have one outcome!

Devil77 · Nov 8, 2023

Amrabat is going to gift FCK a goal with his sloppy passing.

Superunknown · Nov 8, 2023

That Roony guy is 17? That's an American High School Drama kind of 17. :lol:

gaffs · Nov 8, 2023

Someone give Amrabat those PED's he was on during the WC.

Pickle85 · Nov 8, 2023

Guy throws a forearm and nothing. Pathetic.

2 man midfield · Nov 8, 2023

No card?

Scorpy · Nov 8, 2023

How is this not a fecking red?!

Who's Kissing Cameras? · Nov 8, 2023

That’s a second fecking yellow. feck off UEFA.

Rashford was the only player that tried to shield the ball that half?

The outcome is what's decided this, and that shouldn't be the case.

No it isn't.

Here are the reasons a referee can issue a red card:

Rashford didn't deny a goal or obvious goal-scoring opportunity, didn't bite or spit, didn't use offensive language, didn't receive a second yellow, and didn't enter the video operation room.

That leaves us with it being either violent conduct or serious foul play.

Here's the definition of violent conduct:

And it clearly wasn't that.

So that leaves serious foul play:

Firstly, it wasn't even a tackle or challenge. He had possession of the ball and was shielding it. However he was challenged by the opponent.

Secondly, as I pointed out, that exact motion to shield the ball will happen many times a match. The only way it "endangers the safety of an opponent" is if an opponent is simply incredibly unlucky in how their own challenge positions their leg in relation to the player shielding the ball. It's a massive, massive stretch to try and fit shielding the ball into this definition of serious foul play.

It's there to stop players flying into tackles and then going "I won the ball" after glancing it slightly. Not punish a player because an opponent happened to stick his leg under their studs.

As for the rest of it, it wasn't "excessive force or brutality" and it wasn't a lunge.

Great post but not in the match thread, it will get missed by everybody moaning about commentators or Antony being a waste of money.

I think we can definitely beat Gala away

As a write surely a red for the elbow??

Widow · Nov 8, 2023

I'm still fuming from that first half.

No booking for the elbow? These feckers man
