[Football] What an absolute joke

[Kinky Gerbil]

why didn't var check if it was actually a corner and if Gross was fouled in the box

Because an incorrectly given corner isnt as bad as being an Inch off side apparently

 

[southstandandy]

Radio said as he blew for full time (under current rules) he shouldn't have brought back play for the pen. Anyone know whether this is true?

 

[TottonSeagull]

We gave away a penalty ~60 seconds after the ref should have blown for full time.

Your right but he hadn’t blown his whistle so we needed Dunk or Webster to mark Maguire!

 

[vagabond]

Clear penalty. What did the ref do wrong ?

Why do Man U have a corner in the 97th minute when there’s meant to be 5 minutes injury time??

timekeeping

 

[Mellotron]

An appeal will never change the result? so whats the point?

If the rules show the ref blowing final whistle ended the game, then it would be changed to 2-2, surely?

This.
Where did the extra injury time come from? 7 minutes was it?

REALLY PROUD OF THE LADS.

Solly March was outstanding. Trossard unlucky.
Hopefully Lallana's experience can help in the dressing room, because today we had one of our strongest performances and should have come away with something.

OGS got himself a very lucky result indeed...

 

[origigull]

March scored with 30 seconds remaining. The ref added an extra two minutes. Why??

It was probably because Man U were attacking and the ref was waiting for the ball to be a neutral area to blow. Any other team (not including the other top 3-4 team) he would have blown much earlier, imo.

 

[TottonSeagull]

So you think they should play extra time when the time is up? We have every right to feel aggrieved. Every pundit is saying the same - it’s a hard one to take, so our forum NSC is a good place to let our frustrations out. Stop patronising our fans.

Or maybe you should ask why Maguire has a free header from a corner in the last seconds? The game is live until the whistle is blown and it was a MINIMUM of 5 mins of injury time. As frustrating as this is we threw the game away!

Yep - although [MENTION=17583]The Camel[/MENTION]el says play returns to that incident. Please do send the link to the rule though. Not doubting you, just want it cleared up camel...?

 

[portlock seagull]

The Pen was clear and fair. The joke is our lack of a quality striker.

And inability to hold a lead. The broadcasters are still replaying our goal when we typically concede one, that’s how soon after it typically is. That’s a big worry, had enough of it now. Potter and Dunk need to fix that bloody quickly.

Precisely. Also people are ignoring that had we scored in the 99th minute or for that matter, the 102nd or whenever, then WE would win the game. Until the Ref blows and the game is over...

Yes it was poor defending but at the same time you have to understand our frustrations. I could literally moan about so many things. Let people let off steam. And if the rule is that when the game has ended you can’t restart it, we should appeal the result is 2-2 (and will/would). No brainer.

Never seen such nonsense in 40 years of football.

I’m frustrated too! My frustration is with the fact we couldn’t defend for 2 mins and left Maguire free to head for goal!! The handball was before the whistle was blown and was the right decision. Appealing would be embarrassing.

I suppose it would clarify the situation for the future though - so if (when) it happens again, at least people will know.

 

[El Turi]

Who would have thought that a referee from Manchester would give all the decisions to Manchester United.

 

[Mancgull]

Maupay shouldn't have been marking MacGuire at the corner in the first place. I looks like we were spent at that point. It was a definite handball.

So, in relation to the VAR for the handball; the referee had whistled for full time, no question. People are saying that he can still refer to VAR. So, last season in the Aston Villa v Sheffield United game there was a clear goal, but the ref says that as the half time whistle had gone they can't go back and overturn the decision. Where is the consistency in this? I think we should appeal. The game has finished and the law is that Var can't be used after the game has finished. It's actually quite clear cut. Will it actually be over turned, will it F@ck. Big team bias.

The game was over hand ball or not.
