Manchester United @ Old Trafford (Mon 27 Aug)

[Hrytn]

Hey, I jumped up and down every time we scored. But I'm not getting carried away by that result. We lucked out.

I really can not believe reading this, even manure supporters didn't say Spurs lucked out.

How can I watch highlights on the new THFC website?

Is this a joke? There were still 2 players between Moura and the goal. Wouldn't have even been a card.

Certain pen, yellow at best but there were covering defenders - he wasn’t last man. It’s all moot anyway because the bastard thing wasn’t given and we smashed the cunts anyway.

Were Spurs ‘fans’ actually singing ‘Hugo Lloris, he drinks when he wants!’

I really hope not

I really hope not

Followed by 'he drives when he wants'.

Inappropriate but it amused me.

No just a bad memory, there are other players close enough for him to have escaped a red but without the foul I believe moura would have got off a goal bound shot, because of his speed.
But I agree it not open and shut

 

[Burko]

I remember many times us going up there and playing them off the park, only to get done 2-0, people would just say that it showed championship class that they would "grind a win out".

When it's us however...... Not that we should be bothered, take the three points and keep going quietly without anyone mentioning us.

 

[Wellsey]

No one has mentioned Dele staying on his feet when De Gea ploughed into him?
Had he gone down it would have had to have been red and a penalty, there was definite contact.

Nah.

Diving is a better narrative when it comes to Dele then being honest and staying on your feet.

Another thing that happened in the match was Dele being absolutely taken out in the first half and the referee not giving anything.

Are you saying that it wasn’t a pen?

A few us did mention it at the time but you’re right about the red

Lads, there's no red card anymore for a player being brought down when through on goal. The reasoning being it's a double punishment i.e. penalty (90% certain a goal) and a player sent off.

 

[Achilles]

Pretty sure he was just saying it would not have been classified as denying a clear goal scoring opportunity, not that is shouldn't have been a pen.

Just to play devil's advocate though. If the ref had blown his whistle.. Should he have given a pen? Or should he have called it back to a few yards out; the first time Jones gave him an elbow to the side and tried to knock him off the ball but Lucas danced away and bounced off Matic?

Nah...play advantage for the first one and penalty for second one.

 

[Macch]

Watched the highlights AGAIN.

That Hugo save on Lukaku after going up 1-0 was so incredibly massive.

Lads it’s Ahab.....

Look dammit! I'm not saying we did not deserve to win because we did. I'm just saying the scoreline flattered us.
I actually expected us to win this game. The acid test will be the Liverpool game. Then we will see how good we are.
