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.
Why not? Take the L.
But it's instinctive which makes it intentional surely?
He completely follows through with the slap as well, it's not exactly ball to hand in the strictest sense.
Griezmann is so annoying.
Can't say I agree with that decision. One of the cheapest decisions I have seen and I think that decision lacked common sense.
Ice cool.
Hand was moving, not in natural position. Nothing 50/50 about it, as clean pen as it is ever going to be in these situations.
That is so soft
Jammiest cnuts in the history of football? Symbolized by the awful Griezmann celebration. FFS
France are such jammy cnuts.
Wouldn't want to be the ref. Accidental but handball. Really close to whether its a natural handball or not.
Mandzukic is so shit
Im loving VAR. Good call.
Is it me or does this not feel like a World Cup final day? I had to see someone post on snap before I realised ‘oh yeah today is the word cup final’ lol and IIRC the previous two finals were played in the evening cos I remember watching it and the sky was dark on tv
He does have some cringeworthy celebrations.
Handball rule should become less open to interpretation. No matter what angle you look at it. If you ask a thousand refs to judge this, they would probably be divided.
That’s just bad rule making.
That’s just bad rule making.
Fek VAR. Fek this world cup
Great penalty decision, that. The arm goes after the ball, clearly.
I think it's probably a penalty, it's only annoying because France didn't even have a single shot after 38 mins against the underdog and have scored 2 goals, when the first was an own goal after a dive.
It's France's lucky day so far.
It's France's lucky day so far.
That fecking celebration
Greizman going to take Kane’s boot too
So he’s going to score another 3?
Says a lot about the standards of European football then doesn’t it.
Croatia will score again
No chance to score, but still somehow 2 goals for France. This WC is shit.
Another great cross from Perisic.
Looks like it but then if the ref needs so many views on VAR, you'd like the benefit of doubt go to the defending team.
Griezmann needs to sort out that celebration.
Free kick from nothing. Corner from nothing. And they france lead 2.1. feck this shit
Agree it needs intention. From the replay from behind, does look like he's moving his arm down though?
Why?
Ref is a joke never a pen in a million years, utter nonsense.
Man i don't want to lose like this. To this team. We just can't.
at the VAR complaintsThere is no “natural position” when you’re jumping in the air. These kind of things should never ever ever be penalties.
How is that a yellow?! Looked a clean tackle.
Takes all the fun out of the game. Bad controversial decisions is what made the games more interesting. They just need to replace the refs by AI now.
Fcuk me are France the luckiest team in history? An own goal scored off a blatant dive, & a very soft penalty given. Football is really cruel at times
Like every single handball decision does.
For neutrals watching this game and seeing how France is scoring its goals you d figure it does no good for how footie is perceived.
I don’t think I really understand the hands rule. This one and Pique’s I was sure wouldn’t be given.
Is it not 1 to be equal?
