[London Irish]

Ah well, Fulham getting unexpectedly tonked was the key result, didn’t really count on this one

In live time it looked like minimal contact. That freeze can easily make it look otherwise.

When I saw it at the time it didn't look clear that it was. I felt we were clutching at straws.

Given how vulnerable Utd's defence are, was it really the best idea to sit so deep before they equalized? Should have been same again from the get go.

We will NEVER be considered an established Premier League team until we can shithouse our way to a result.

Pains me to say it but we need to take a leaf out of the Palace book.

 

[Wellesley]

What a tosser. Must have made your night eh?

Pm sent.

 

[BNthree]

Oh well. Not like we embarrassed ourselves to the team 2nd in the table with a budget far bigger than ours.

Manure have spent £1.1B in player fees in the last 10 years, to become ....... miles behind the best.

No disgrace in losing narrowly to that investment, a team of cheats led by Goofy Fernandes.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Irritating. Good 1st half, ok 2nd but Utd stepped up a gear.

Can't help but think Maguire on Welbeck reversed would've been given.

Guaranteed. No doubt about it.

Reading back I’m suprised how sure some of you are about the ‘penalty’. Not enough in it to overturn the decision for me.

I’d have been mightily pissed off if VAR had given that against us.

 

[dangull]

Got a bit passive 2nd half, but still thought it was a penalty in the few times we attacked in that time.

 

[Scappa]

If it was a penalty it would have been a soft one. VAR ruling was correct.

If those are going to keep being given then the game is dead.

Dean had a good game tonight.

If those keep being given, the defenders will have to learn how to play without cheating

The Ali-J change is all the Potter Out Campaign need to pin the blame squarely on the Manager.

You don’t have to be ‘Potter out’ to acknowledge that Ai J is useless.

True, but give Utd a bit of credit. They turned up big time in that second half. Made it very difficult for us.

 

[Eeyore]

Think you'll find you're in the minority there.

The minority who are looking at it from a neutral perspective.

Unfortunately the Veltman error was the key turning point, knocked the stuffing etc

 

[usernamed]

What a difference between halves. First half was brilliant. We came out for the second half, stopped pressing in the opposition half, sat deep as soon as we lost the ball, and basically invited pressure all half long.

And although I support GP, he looked at the bench and thought Ali J was the answer?

I think it’s the fact that we know it would have been given if it was at the other end.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

It's in slabheads contract that penalties are not to be given against him....plus I don't think there was enough in it to warrant it however how much I dislike the pikeys lovechild

 

[jabba]

It's the hope that kills you. Felt good at half time, but not a single attempt on target second half.
