In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.
Yellow at most
While you're totally correct, I don't think this is a topic that should be used for point scoring
If we had a few weeks of refs dishing out reds for similar anti-football fouls then I'd be all for it as the players would soon stop and the game would be better for it.
Of course that won't happen. No idea what the ref was thinking with that one.
Bournemouth now two ahead. Quattara.
Bloody hell, awful decision.
He doesn't even put any weight down on his foot, deliberately lifts as to not stand on him.
Bournemouth absolutely flying. This is a bit of a freak season. Always the case when the dominant force drops off so much.
Goes into his shin first and bounces off.
Nah, you went down to that level all by yourself big boy.
You're the one who brought it up.
Hilarious.
Cue Lego Head whingefest post-match.
Yet the scissor tackle from behind by Minteh last week on Dalot wasn’t even a yellow.

Kluivert is class
It is fairly outrageous to call it serious foul play..
Bournemouth with a third. Kluivert. Wow! Looks like going to be disallowed for offside. Still 2-0.
I will admit I was trying to WUM the Arsenal fans. It's not a red of course...
Can be off
Interesting
Yeah it's a text book yellow card.
That red is shocking.
I have edited my post. Yeah disallowed for offside.
Yes, let's end that stupid discussion you started.
Interested to see Marmoush for them
Ah
I don't have any idea whatsoever how Oliver, from that angle, thought it was a red card. Nor how VAR failed to get involved.
Go cry and look at your collection of second-place trophies buddy.
i really dont like arsenal and think they get away with murder. But its just an awful call, maybe the worst of the season. Michael Oliver needs reigning in but seems to actually get carte blanche to do whatever he wants every week without any reprimand. The worst official in the history of the premier league in my opinion
Now Bournemouth do get a third. Quattara. 3-0.
The video shows his heel with studs up making contact near the outside ball of his ankle near enough to the achilles but is subjective from the angle they give us. Ref was on on the side and had a better view .
Agreed
Yep, I'm obviously biased, but Oliver's displays need looking at.
Arsenal are the most pathetic PL "challengers" ever.
I mentioned earlier that Perry Groves on Talksport said the other referees are scared of Oliver, they see him as refereering heirarchy. Look at what happened with that pen in our game against West Ham when he was on VAR.
Doucoure might be the worst player in the league. Utter trash.
Let's say it's a red because:
It stops a counter
It's from behind
There is no intention to steal it, juts fouling
and there is a bit of plugs implied.
Still? too harsh for a red because he clearly just wanted to stop the play, without doing extreme dammage. The ref should have tempered his reaction and just show a yellow one.

Take away Odegaard and Saka from this Arsenal side, and it's one big struggle
They are just a collection of despicable characters and cheats.
Just Saka
They will always find someone to finish behind, even in an off year.
