Well done Wazza!!
It's a dive mate, let's call it as it is
Never, when I go to the swimming pool I call it the soft, very, very soft board
.Rawk and bluemoon melt down will be fun.Such a poor half from us yet again. What's wrong with our home form? Happy to see Rashford dive though even if I don't normally like it. But this season we have been fecked by the ref all the time so don't care now.
Agree. That's cheating pure and simple.this is what I hate. I would rather the reff didn't give it since he will look to even it up and give Swansea a soft one or send one of ours off. Always seems to happen.Swansea have been better in almost every aspect. We should play poorly at home more often because we don't seem to win when we play well.Need Mata over Rooney in the 2nd half.I'm going to be kind to us and say it's about time we got some luck after a lot of serious penalty shouts turned away previously in the season.Say what you like about our wayne but that took some balls taking that penalty knowing all the flack he would have got if he fecked it up.not a penalty. but not a dive either.
players like Herrera have been told not to exert themselves clearly.
But with no one taking charge in midfield any team will dominate.
Perhaps they will leave themselves open so we can close out the game with a second.Don't deserve to be in the lead going in but that's the way it goes. Hopefully we'll bang in another few in the 2nd half.
I would totally do what Rashford did there.Players will continue to do it until video refereeing or bans for diving is introduced. Don't understand why video evidence isn't used already to give match bans for diving, but they do for other 'unsportmanlike' behaviour.that dive right outta Ashley Young's book.Before today some of the most obvious penalty shouts goes against United I am glad that for once it was awarded.
Yes it was, i'm surprised he managed to place it so well. The worst thing is he's been largely shite but will stay on now as he scored.
I wasn't sure and I would hope the ref had a better view than us from the live camera. Remember, he should only give it if he's certain. I'll take the goal but I'm not exactly happy to see this from our players.Dive. I'd be seething if that was given against us.Interesting how none of the commentators called Rashford out. Pure silence during the replay followed by Savage trying to justify it as smart centre forward play.
Sell sell sell.
This is true, it's nice to be on the right side of a dodgy decision for a change.You can clearly see the ref taking his time and saying "has the payment gone through" before he awards the pen!Embarrassing from rashford. TssRashford
no, I meant about being disappointed. As in we could disappoint lolIt was a dive IMO but it was a great dive from Rashford!Rashers learning all the diving tricks Love the ladIncredibly lucky to be leading at HT. Massive improvement needed in the second half or we'll definitely be dropping points today.
Sloppy in possession, hesitant at the back, Carrick ineffective. We were thoroughly outplayed in the first half an hour. There have been signs of improvement but overall not good enough.At this stage of the season only results matter. However, Rashford should feel ashamed.
It's that fecking instagram fad people get it from I tell you.Not a penalty. We'll be paying for that for the next 3 years now.
When Ashley Young was diving under Moyes and the manager made a big song and dance about it, we've been suffering ever since.
The pen makes up for all the times Rashford has been kicked around and nothing given but he's going to struggle once other refs see he dived.Jeez we are bad today,one of our worst games under JM.its thats what we have to do to get a penalty this season feck it lolWe have been utterly shocking. Our use of the ball has been horrendous, particularly Rooney and Lingard who have made a lot of unforced errors and given the ball away cheaply.
Well done Rashford for forcing the referee into making a decision on the penalty. The puritans will ask 'what if that has been given against us?' Frankly, we've been robbed of too many penalties this season for me to give one.I'm trying hard to give a shit about that dive but I don't care.
Fear not, the ref will see he messed up and make.up for it 2nd half.New excuse for Klopp for the next 6 months. Rashford dive!!Not happy with the dive. It's one thing for the ref to get a decision wrong, but intentionally deceiving the ref is poor. It's not fair on the keeper who did very well actually to close Rashford down in a clean manner, what else is he meant to do?
Otherwise, great ball and movement by Lingard and Rashford respectively. Well drilled penalty by Rooney. Hopefully Jose will give them a kick up the behind because everything is really flat.
Agreed - Rooney's pen was lovely.We're a hilariously bad team. Totally undeserved lead after a stinker of a first half.
Mourinho needs to do a lot better next season. We've been unconvincing to mediocre all season long.- Status
