What a half of football....

2-2

Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen

Harsh red for Rashford, and now a Copenhagen comeback on the cards!

Mad - I hate VAR and this is maybe why, over analysed, broken down, stupid decision.

Not so much related to any game in particular, but watching ETH scribbling on a piece of paper with a biro, what do managers/coaches write on these scraps? Surely they could afford a moleskin book and a decent pen?

But at least it's funny when it happens to Man Utd...

But at least it's funny when it happens to Man Utd...

True dat.

 

[TomandJerry]

Two blokes behind the panel arguing that's not a red card during the half time break...

 

[AZ Gull]

lol….2/0 Utd…..back to 2/2

What a half of football....

2-2

When United scored their second I thought it was game over and switched to the Arsenal match.

I thought it seemed like a pretty clear red tbh. Planting your studs into the opponents ankle isn’t necessary to “protect the ball”.

It’s a good illustration of why VAR struggles though, absolutely nobody seems to be able to accept 50/50 decisions that go against them and that especially includes the media. Oh and to add, everyone always immediately thinks their interpretation is the correct one!

Gawd bless Slabhead for handling inside the box

 

[oldboyroy]

Completely differing views between commentary team and studio whether it's a red or not. It's man Utd so red all day long for me

 

[Badger]

I think both those decisions are correct. It was a red card, even if he didn't mean it. You can't plant your studs down like that when there's a player there.
Maguire juggling the ball in the box seems like a fair penalty too

 

[Washie]

Just seen the red card. No intent but really dangerous.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Still plenty of time for Slabhead to grab a winner for FC Copenhagen

 

[patchamalbion]

Could we meet an English club in the next round?

 

[TomandJerry]

Man United players following the referee around like flys on poo

Watch the time wasting if they score...

 

[LamieRobertson]

Gawd Utd penalty

3/2

 

[Badger]

Not sure about that one.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Falling out of love with football badly now, VAR not so gradually throttling the life out the game.
