He has the fecking whistle to his mouth as Smith Rowe strikes the ball, it's clear he was about to blow, but bottled it.
Over twenty years ago. A ball once went in off a beach ball too. Doesn’t mean that would be allowed to happen again and it doesn’t mean the ref didn’t feck up.They clearly don't hence the Di Canio incident
Oh, give over. When a goalkeeper jumps into the post and hurts his shoulder/knee/any not head body part and is left lying on the ground, the referee always blows up to prevent this sort of thing from happening. Does he blow for a foul then?Yeah, from the literally thousands of games I've watched over 40 years of being a United fan, I've seen refs blow up over minimal contact when there's been an actual challenge on the keeper in the box.
This wasn't one of those. Because there was no challenge. Do keep up.
I don’t know what to tell you. Refs always stop play for injured keepers. Why do you think Atkinson was about to blow his whistle? Why do you think he blew his whistle when the ball went in? He knew he fecked up so I don’t know why so many are twisting themselves in knots to justify his feck up.
Not if your own team causes the injury

Watch it at full speed. He only saw De Gea as he turned around as Smith Rowe was shooting. He was half way to blowing the whistle as it went in.
It’s just one of those things, he wasn’t being corrupt and he was wasn’t incompetent.
I can’t stand Atkinson but there’s no value in being critical if you can’t be objective.
It's the norm when there's been an actual challenge and the keeper pretends to have been impeded. In this case, there was no challenge. The whistle generally goes on the assumption there's been a foul more than anything else.Stopping play when a goalkeeper is injured is the norm, precisely because it prevents situations like this from happening.
Says that guy who doesn't play professional footballPlay to the whistle.
And don't be a pussy.

Alright then.Haha, De Gea fecked up not the ref. He tried to cheat and it backfired

If this game is the precedent, you might as well get your CB to kick your own keeper every time there's a corner.

Nah. You play to the whistle. All players should play to the whistle. Professionals love to exaggerate contact. Rolling around is normal for something that shouldn't even cause you to fall down in the first place. What ever happened to fecking toughing through some pain? It's embarrassing. Fall down and roll around when the play is stopped if you have to. You're asking to look like an idiot if you do what De gea did. He's firmly the guy to blame here IMO. Was soft, got punished.That’s obviously not the point of that gesture. You stop when the goalkeeper is out injured. What is the glory scoring on an open goal? So so bad sportsmanship.
If Smith-Rowe plays that wide he blows the whistle. No doubt about it. He was about to blow the whistle even as the shot came in and then changed his mind last second. If there's no dangerous situation and he plays it wide he would've blown to have de Gea assessed.The one thing no one has really answered... how long could the game have conceivably gone on for there? By the letter of the law it's a goal, but by the letter of the law, Arsenal could have continued playing it around the United box without a keeper until the ball goes out of play? If Smith-Rowe plays the ball out wide, does he blow his whistle and stop the game? if so, why? What's actually changed in that situation?
This is a great illustration of why he fecked up. Surely nobody can argue the ref would’ve allowed play to go indefinitely?By the letter of the law it's a goal, but by the letter of the law, Arsenal could have continued playing it around the United box without a keeper until the ball goes out of play? If Smith-Rowe plays the ball out wide, does he blow his whistle and stop the game? if so, why? What's actually changed in that situation?
This is bullshit.Haha, De Gea fecked up not the ref. He tried to cheat and it backfired
Come on, De Gea loves a roll around and exaggerating every little contact. This time he was punished.How do you know that he tried to cheat . De gea has never really done this . It's freezing out there so even minor injuries can hurt a lot
In that case we can all tackle like Vinny Jones.They clearly don't hence the Di Canio incident
No doubt De Gea is a bit of a wimp but a smart player goes down if he’s hurting even a little. If he plays on injured and concedes who has he helped? Ref hasn’t done his job. De Gea’s bravery isn’t relevant.That being said, de Gea's a massive coward who would rather stay down and let in a goal than play through a bit of pain for five seconds.
No.Says that guy who doesn't play professional football

Embarrassing. Coward. Just need Disgrace for bingo.Hate Atkinson, but nothing wrong with his refereeing there. De Gea was embarrassing there, a coward.

But none of that happened. There was no contact. Admittedly it's a bit of a grey area but there was no obvious challenge and it happened pretty quickly. Arguably Atkinson could've blown quicker but what's he blowing for exactly?Oh, give over. When a goalkeeper jumps into the post and hurts his shoulder/knee/any not head body part and is left lying on the ground, the referee always blows up to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

I assume he stopped because the shot was basically already taken, he probably hoped that there was a foul on the GK and VAR would disallow the goal.It's just one of those things, if Atkinson blows up 10 seconds earlier nobody bats an eyelid. Once the ball goes in the net, as per the rules of the fame the goal has to stand. I just don't understand why he goes to blow up, then stops, only to blow as soon as it goes in the net. Still think DDG made an absolute meal of it!

You can show me 100 genuinely hurt goalies but none of them would be this. He didn't hit a post. He didn't twist an ankle. He went down under minimal contact from his own player and they scored. There's a reason why this feels different. Because it is.What the f are you talking about. I can show you 100 incidents where GK goes down twisting ankle or hitting post and game is stopped every time.
This is bullshit.
