Nah, it's just that when a ref is English it's highlighted and sticks in people's minds. They're no worse than refs in other leagues trust me.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
That ball from Bruno!
He's called Angus because of course he is.
I was in the stadium and had no idea what they were even checking. Was it whether Poulsen was offside or something?
Grønbæk has been a breath of fresh air these two games.
McGinn's a bit of a headless chicken.
Same, so have no idea, figured it was offside check,
Really surprised by him, never watch Danish football except my local team which is at the rock bottom of the 2nd division, so had no idea he existed before the team announcement and he has been really impressive
Crazy that he had to leave Glimt before being noticed. He had been delivering top tier performances for 1.5 years both domestically and in Europe.
I saw some of the highlights from the Bodø-Ajax game where he looked good. But in general I just don't watch that much football anymore outside if United and the national team (both of which have been a real slog).
He just looks like a pretty good modern player. Plenty of energy, good work rate, presses well, quick feet, technically good and efficient with his touches. He's had a great introduction to the national team.
Exactly, the Balkans are a special case
Bruno!
feck. Bruno scores for Portugal. Wish he could do that more for us.
Funny how our players, both current and former, look better when they're not being coached by ETH.
Angus Gunn lets in so many soft goals from distance, exact carbon copy of the one he conceded v Germany in the Euros.
What a goal Bruno!
Ronnie time
Bruno’s honestly been a shit goalscorer since 2021.
He’d done well for us up until now in this match.
Ref clearly turned it down due to the assault (which is actually just how they say hello in Scotland) he'd received minutes earlier.
It reminds me of when we were robbed of a penalty in our last group game in the Euros against Hungary back in June.
Dykes must be a face tattoo away from being totally covered at this stage. Looks like someone you'd see on Jerry Springer.
16-year-old Patrik Kristal came on to make his men's football International debut for Estonia. He already signed for Fc Cologne and is joining them after our season ends in November.
He’s got way too many tattoos. He looks ridiculous.
Dalot got subbed on and immediately had a throw in right where he was coming on to the pitch.
The linesman made him do some kind of hokey cokey over the touchline to 'officially' be on the pitch before he was allowed to take the throw.

Aye, costs us a goal every other game the last few months. Good save there though.
Aye, his body and he's free to do whatever he likes, but it all looks so bad.
Portugal need to get rid of Martinez. He's an absolute spoofer.
We were so fecking lucky not to concede there.
Sell Onana sign Gunn
It’s set up for a Ronaldo winner this game
They’ve dominated the game to be fair.
2 good stops from Gunn there.
That no goal graphic was absolutely fecking pointless.
That no goal graphic was absolutely fecking pointless.
Dalot and Fernandes should never be allowed anywhere near taking corners. That was the worst corner routine I've seen in quite some time.
Ah for feck’s sake. fecking Ronaldo.
Siuuuuu
Phenomenon!
I literally called it a few mins ago.
Scotland gonna Scot.
Honestly, we deserved to concede that. Portugal have been massively dominant this second half.
Hell yes
feck off Robertson 
I hate how this was in the last few minutes of the fecking game. God motherfecking dammit.
