He saw Rashford get an arm to the chin 5 minutes before and waved it away
I can guarantee the ref never saw it or he would've gave it. And the reason VAR never intervened was because it was outside the box. Stupid as it may be but that's why.
How come so many neutral people disagree with you. Don’t be such a blinkered idiot. He’s barely touched him and he’s gone down like he’s been shot. Can you hand on heart say that’s what you enjoy watching, or that’s how the sport should play. I’d expect better from any football fan out there that thinks that should be a foul. Maybe people just haven’t played the game themselves.
Because people have and are entitled to have opinions? Crazy, right? No, I don't enjoy watching it, Son 100% exaggerated the contact. The difference is I don't take that into account when deciding whether or not I think it was a foul because it's irrelevant as to whether or not the action from McTominay was indeed a foul. Are you denying he hit him in the face? Talk about being blinkered. I won't call you an idiot, though, cause unlike some, I accept that you're entitled to an opposing view without being insulted for it.
You're having a mare this evening. The mask is slipping too much.
Log off.
What mask? Pointing out how hypocritical some people are being?
A mare = pointing out that Son was indeed hit in the face by a stray arm and that when referees sees this they do tend to give fouls. Pointing out way worse VAR decisions in the past that have gone your way in the face of people saying this incident was the straw that broke the camel's back for their enjoyment and continued watching of football. Who knew that's what constituted as a mare?
Let's consult some more neutral folk than you... like actual fecking Spurs fans on the Fighting Cock:
Okay? Now post the Spurs fans that think it was a foul. Now post non Spurs fans that think it was a foul. Go on, do it.
Yeh, I was furious tbh but not because I didn't think it was necessarily a foul, its the inconsistency. We saw 2 very similar incidents prior to it that were not deemed fouls. Pogba on [Spurs player] and the one on Rashford.
The problem with the Rashford one was that it was just outside the box. Had it been a foot further up the pitch then VAR would definitely have intervened. Forearm smash someone outside a painted line? Nothing. Forearm smash someone inside a painted line? Take action. Such a stupid rule.
You're in about as an extreme minority as a person can be in a football discussion. Pretty much every pundit, ex player, even rival fans are in agreement on it. To call it a 'blatant standard foul' is such a strange stance to take.
Why is "strange" to claim it standard? When referees see someone throw their arm back to block off an opposing player and it smacks them in the face they tend to give free kicks. It's so standard in fact that two different referees both watched it happen and came to the same conclusion that it was indeed a foul...
Son's doing his best to foul McTominay, the only reason the incident occurred was because Son initiated the action by attempting to foul McTominay. It was a crazy decision because it's completely devoid of logic. If 99% of the world is saying it's a bad call then maybe it's a bad call?
All irrelevant. Doesn't matter why McTominay threw his arm back. Fact is he did and it made contact with an opposing player's face. Foul. Two different referees watched it and came to the same conclusion.
