Big Sam

Hopefully he gets a touchline ban, what he said was much worse than anything Ferguson ever said

No. United fans are laughing because both Big Sam and Nolan are both aware that Nolan WAS offside and the decision was right, but are both implying that the linesman shouldn't have possessed the "super human" ability to spot it, so it should have been allowed, even though the decision was the right one.

Players/managers moan about decisions all the time. It's quite a rarity that a player or a manager disputes the ability of the official to actually make right decision.

Exactly. You are either offside or not offside. You can't be a little bit offside.

Let me see if I understand this. Allardyce and Nolan criticising the linesman for making a tight decision against them? United fans laughing at them for complaining?

It's like the week after the Leicester game has just been erased from everyone's memory.

The difference is the referee got the decision right which Allardyce was aware of and still criticised him, do you still fail to understand the difference?

I didn't mention the penalty decision. I could just as easily have been talking about all the other complaining (first goal, 4th goal, 5th goal).

Eh? There was practically no complaining about those (though there'll always be the odd whinger), the ref was copping it relentlessly due to that awful penalty decision.

Except it obviously wasn't worse. Allardyce is a petty, thick man who made some petty, thick comments post-game.

"The linesman dropped a bollock"

Yeah, that's pretty bad.

Seriously?

fecking hell. Did you bother to read the thread before posting your nonsense or are you genuinely that thick that you didn't understand why the United fans were laughing at Allardyce or Nolan?
 
I thought managers were not supposed to speak about ref's performances....Is he going to be charged... I don't think so...
 
Never understood the annoyance, it isn't a handball or a foul that needs a debate. He was off, whether it was a mile or millimeters doesn't matter one bit.

It was quite clearly the right decision, as opposed to the Leicester game. Completely different.
 
He always does this to deflect from his teams' defeats.

Our manager might have said similar things had a decision been that close but his and Nolan's comments were really poor. They might feel unlucky and hard done by by the call but at the end of the day it was the right call and in hindsight they shouldn't feel screwed over by the linesman. They have no business criticising the linesman for that call no matter how difficult it was to make in the first place.

I thought LVG was quite reserved against the ref in the Leicester post match PC. I don't think he even mentioned the push by Vardy prior to the penalty. Hats off to him. I hope he sets a standard where he doesn't start given the media and opposing fans ammunition to continue their ABU and conspiracy nonsense.
