Manchester United 2:1 Middlesbrough

THE REF HAS COST US THE LEAD.

It is an absolute joke, refs are blatantly biased against UTD and it's about time someone did something about it. Mourinho can't even make the slightest mention of refereeing decisions or he will get banned again.

The standard of refereeing in the Premier League seriously needs to be looked at.

It is a disgrace that mistakes by referees are affecting results week in, week out.

Of course we do. We're not aloud to benefit like everyone else though. I see Chelsea got their goal aloud.

How loud was it?

So is a lot of stuff. If Ibra had gone for that with his head he could well have scored and then bumped into Valdes afterwards. Would that be disallowed?

Imo it was the wrong decision, but a case could be made for dangerous play, it's not about if he hit him or not but going in with the foot so high.

Swearing Budgie · Dec 31, 2016

Only thing wring with that goal was it was too awesome. Just too Zlatan.

Can only get better second half. Any joy we have had has been down the left with Martial. We are not doing anything on the right wing. So frustrating when Valencia just stops and passes it back inside. Boro parking bus and need to be stretched.

Mkhi is drifting well inside from the right. This has allowed him to slip a few good passes in from a central position, but I agree... I'd like to see him stay farther wide and create something from out on the right to balance what Martial's been doing on the left.

sdb4884 · Dec 31, 2016

One of the worst decisions I've ever seen to disallow that goal

Jazz · Dec 31, 2016

Ref is a grade A Cnut! Valdes that cheating so and so!
This should spur the lads on! Come on United!

charlenefan · Dec 31, 2016

I'm fecking furious

Fecking fat bald cnut

crossy1686 · Dec 31, 2016

Just saw the replay of Zlatan's goal. That's an absolutely disgraceful decision, no point in having quality players if every time they do something exceptional a poor referee decides it's a foul.

Apparently.

Mkh's goal was offside last week..

RedDevil-85 · Dec 31, 2016

Had hoped for an early goal but that didnt happen.Im fearing a draw now.
A few cnutish decisions from the ref

Sandikan · Dec 31, 2016

Goal ruled out, bloody stream cut out and now the site doesn't even work.

Not a great 5mins.

Godfather · Dec 31, 2016

We should do better at corners btw. We have so many big players in there.

Devil may care · Dec 31, 2016

We got better as the half went on and that disallowed goal is bullshit, but we should get Mata or Schweini on at half time for Fellaini, he offers nothing.

pseudo_canadian · Dec 31, 2016

When refs make those sort of calls I almost want to just turn the game off entirely.

Infuriating.

We should have a hell of a second half of the season coming up then

WyoManU · Dec 31, 2016

To be fair, our forward passing has mostly been shite. Fellaini needs to go.

Don't forget the studs up boot to Zlatan's knee that Adrian didn't even get a post-game ban for.

It's all allowed when a United player is the victim. Even slaps to the face go unpunished.

Refs are utter tosspots against us and Jose. The sooner the game is officiated by robots/ video official, the better. These guys think the game is all about them and are stealing a fecking living.

Just saw the replay on the disallowed goal - wouldn't be a question if Ibra would use his head more often, no pun intended

Remember seeing him in a pre-season game for Barca a couple years ago. Was like watching a black and strong Messi

edcunited1878 · Dec 31, 2016

Valdes was always second to the ball, he flailed at the chance.....no two ways about it, that's a clear, stonewall goal. Unacceptable.

2 man midfield · Dec 31, 2016

How long would it really take to have someone upstairs view that on a monitor and tell the ref via his headset that he's a gimp and made the wrong call? Probably a lot less time than it takes to calm down the crowd of aggrieved players and make them all go away. But no, it's easier just to ban the players from approaching the ref isn't it?

fecking cnuts.

Lee Mason blows the whistle when we're on the attack to end the half.

We've done well, looked a bit susceptible on the counter. Other than Blind, we've looked pretty decent.

But we've been fecking robbed blind today. Once again.

Lee Mason can eat a bag of dicks, the bald headed wanker. As can his mate Victor cnuting Valdes. Absolute arsewipes, the pair of them. Twats. Valdes wasted time and milked the situation, and by that time our momentum was gone.

I'm furious about that decision, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Ibra's goal.

We need to gather ourselves now, put the injustice behind us and throw everything at these cnuts in the second half.

Well said!

Swearing Budgie · Dec 31, 2016

Also, how come bicycle kick goals are never disallowed due to being dangerous?

They stand because they are AWESOME.

Our passing from deep is bloody awful when we've no Carrick. Even Rojo would be an improvement.

Schweinsteiger please.

In a game like this you could even go for Herrera as the 6 and Mata as the 8. Fellaini offers nothing in his passing. He passes like a limited centre back. Neither is he protecting the back 4. I'd argue that apart from defensive headers Herrera is better defensively.

Godfather · Dec 31, 2016

On the bright side. Martial looks very very good.

Cpt Negative · Dec 31, 2016

Just watched again, if anything it's a foul on Zlatan. Valdez comes out late, makes no contact with the ball..

nistleloy · Dec 31, 2016

Bad refereeing. Hope for a few goals 2nd half so that decision doesn't cost us points

Treble_Winning · Dec 31, 2016

How unlucky are we?

First Pogba hits the post, and then Zlatan unjustly has a goal disallowed.

This is ridiculous. We are by FAR the better team. Martial is playing VERY well.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Dec 31, 2016

Not sure how that constitutes dangerous play. Surely Zlatan going in head first against Valdes' launching fists would be even more dangerous? His raised foot ended up being nowhere near Valdes anyway. He beat Valdes to the ball by a distance. If that's dangerous play, just about every volley ever is dangerous play. How hasn't every overhead kick in history not been disallowed?

Shite.

Random Task · Dec 31, 2016

Martial far and away the best player on the pitch - showing the type of ability that got us all excited last season. Attrocious decision to disallow Ibra's goal.

He's been brilliant. Deserved at least a goal or assists for that first half display. Need a bit more from Pogba and Ibra.

Best thing about this game is Hailey McQueen's cleavage

Yeah he's an ex Barca player right? Speed, body control and movements that you almost never see in the PL. Obviously not a Barcelona player atm but there is quality in him.

Ex with a buyback. The complaint on him for the moment is that he lacks end product which takes time, I just hate seeing him on defensive minded teams where he isn't really able to learn much apart from sitting deep

Garethw · Dec 31, 2016

Absolute fecking bullshit. Nearly every fecking game we are suffering from a shit refereeing decision.

The worst of it is there is no consequence to the stupid ref. Yet one fecking word from Mourinho and he'll find himself fined and banned. It's utterly utterly shocking.

flappyjay · Dec 31, 2016

That 10 minutes spell from Martial was a remainder to those that are having memory problems of just how good he is

2 man midfield · Dec 31, 2016

I take it back @Shark , we looked much improved for the last 10 minutes of that half. All the more gutting to have all our good work undone by an incompetent bald tosser.

That's infuriating. We should be winning this game against a very deep Boro' side. We've played it as well as we can and the referee has fecked us.

Red Dreams · Dec 31, 2016

Mikhi,Martial and Zlatan look very sharp.
