His first yellow was not a yellow! He didn't even touch anything!

I know, but technical innit, always a booking

When you lose a game because of a moment of sheer and utter stupidity... Picking a yellow to stop a keeper from kicking the ball inside his own penalty box. smfh

Moriarty · Nov 2, 2014

Good defending by Shaw

Raven Blade · Nov 2, 2014

Sometimes our players are so unbelievably dumb. It's embarrassing to watch the choices they make. We're in a situation of our own doing.

IFC 1905 · Nov 2, 2014

Aguero was touched by fellaini

But i think it was not a penalty

saivet · Nov 2, 2014

Well recovered Shaw

Shane88 · Nov 2, 2014

Contact doesn't automatically mean a foul, Neville. He really is an absolute idiot, he puts out the training cones for England and people treat his opinion as gospel.

Manutd89 · Nov 2, 2014

Smalling what a joke. Complet shit.

Yeah you are right. Fellaini actually kicked him in the heel from behind. Could easily been a pen, lucky us I guess.

Yeah, but reckless from Fellaini.

ryansgirl · Nov 2, 2014

Oh yes, it's fine for Robin Van Persie to be scythed down a few times with no yellow card for the Shitty players but Chris Smalling goes too near Joe Hart and gets a yellow card for that?

The biased moron 'refereeing' here needs a good kick in the head by a United player - accidently of course.

Not every contact is a foul, you stupid commentary fecks.

It's a pure kick into Agueros foot, how is that not a penalty?

If it was a penalty because of the 'kick' why did Aguero go down with his left shoulder heading toward the ground first? Definite contact, obvious dive.

Neville is a dick at times

entropy · Nov 2, 2014

Not sure this is the best of time to make your first appearance of the season

Drifter · Nov 2, 2014

Carrick is back.

duffer · Nov 2, 2014

That was a stonewall pen. Fellaini is a right cheky bastard having a go at Aguero there!

Why? McNair played two good matches for United in his entire career. That's two more than Smalling.

I disagree once again so let's just leave it.

redevil2 · Nov 2, 2014

Carrick will change the game around!

Woodzy · Nov 2, 2014

I don't think we will get through this game without another red. Fellaini or Blind.

The Law of Denis · Nov 2, 2014

The first yellow was so dumb from Smalling, but for his second it is not the first time that we have been caught out today. It has been coming.

Are you serious? He kicked his heel from behind. "Touched" indeed.

Come on. Blocking a goalkeeper from a kick is always a booking.

We really need to get rid of these players. We need good players on the pitch and not in the treatment room

At this point is getting just plain ridiculous. You can deal with one player who struggles for fitness in your back 4, but we have Evans, Jones, Smalling and Rafael all as unreliable options.

I'm not against keeping any one of them, or two, but we can't have that many defenders out half the time, it's chaos.

Nytram Shakes · Nov 2, 2014

it was one of those fouls that if was outside the box would have been given but as it basicaly means if he give it its a goal, would be a bit harsh.

What an absolute idiot. Can't say which yellow was more stupid. Now we can see that we need a new cb. No intelligence...how stupid you can be.

The second one I can sort of understand, he got scared, it happens, the first one was just plain daft.

bosnian_red · Nov 2, 2014

We need a switch to the diamond now.

De gea
Valencia Carrick rojo Shaw
Blind
Fellaini di maria
Rooney
Van Persie

2 man midfield · Nov 2, 2014

Carrick at cb really exacerbates our set piece issues but throwing McNair in might be premature. Just get to half time please.

poisson · Nov 2, 2014

Hate football sometimes.

3-0 city I reckon.

Penna said:
The first was correct, you can't try to bundle the keeper off the ball like that when he's got hold of it, and then put your foot up. He ended up getting kicked on the leg himself, but that's his fault.

He didn't touch him. If it's down as poor sportsmanship then fine, but I'm not sure of the rule there.

The Red Thinker · Nov 2, 2014

We're up against it now. WIth 11 men we had the advantage in midfield. Now that lumbering Toure will have more room.

.

Yes, as he absolutely should have.

There's no excuse for it from Smalling's point of view. He's a cretinous fecking idiot who has thrown a game which we've looked capable of winning.

The first is moronic and utterly needless. The second is even more moronic when you know you're on a yellow card and dont have a hope in hell of getting there.

The guy has the brain of a goldfish.

Dylan94 · Nov 2, 2014

Smalling and Jones just leave in January. Just leave.

I agree but it's bred from this 'contact = penalty' penalty despite referees being expressly instructed NOT to give penalties where they believe to be an exaggeration of the contact (i.e. simulation).

RoadTrip · Nov 2, 2014

lol Valencias left foot

Tutankhamun · Nov 2, 2014

I'm liking Fellaini more and more. Good to see him telling Aguero what's what.

"Goes too near"? Smalling has no one to blame but himself for that first yellow.

Its a stone wall pen. Oliver playing licorice allsorts with his decisions. Was never going to give it.

I don't think that's a well known rule, people probably just don't realize.

Count Orduck · Nov 2, 2014

I actually think Aguero cost himself the penalty there with his over-elaborate collapse. It was a definite penalty, but by going down quite so dramatically it actually made it look like a dive.

Ludens the Red · Nov 2, 2014

Central midfielder centre back .. This is wat happens when you've got morons running your club who don't understand that when two centre backs leave your club the idea is to sign two to replace them.
