I actually still generally like Amrabat I think he's being used poorly, Onana has been bad...Antony? I dont even know what to say about that.

Its like he bought Antony because he lost a bet?? Thats been....nothing short of a disaster.

And then Mount.

The thing about Mount is that....when Ten Hags was brought in, he preached about having a plan and a blueprint.

Is this it? Mason Mount and Antony? The 'Ageless Wonder' Casemiro?

I will always be convinced that Antony was money laundering, ten Hag was doing Ajax a financial solid after leaving.

That actually makes more sense than almost anything else.

Manchester is only blue for as long as their lawyers can delay the court cases.

I dont know what that is. I dont know what its for.

As someone who has run his own Company for over a decade however, I would strongly, STRONGLY, recommend against using that.

For anything.

I mean...man...could you imagine if someone actually put their foot down and 'cleaned up?'

Points deductions, Title removals, European banishments...if they applied the 'letter of the law' City would be so screwed.

I don’t really get the calls for lack of sportsmanship on this one. Do you actually think the players should honor the refs mistake and give the ball back? The ref also misses the high foot on that same incident which should have made it a Liverpool free kick anyway, and on top of that Forest got booked twice in extra time for time wasting.

We should just take the same attitude as they did on the botched call on the Diaz 'offside' goal.

"Whoops. Oh well. Move along."

Classless though! Disgraceful!

Whats really disgraceful is how crappy United are despite being the most expensive team in the World.

Well I wasn’t referring specifically to that play or game. I was just meaning in general, looking ahead to the May 4 match.

I wish “they” would make an effort to get rid of the time wasting though. Which really means they should just play stop time already.

Yeah and we all know it wasn’t offside. But mistakes happen and that’s part of humans as officials. But then the perpetual victims are asking for a replay, signing petitions and it’s frankly beyond the pale. I mean honestly…it’s poor sportsmanship, completely.

Thats just angry fans.

But man. The Ref hands Kelleher the ball. Time is winding down, do you think he's analyzing the entire scenario?

It was a melee on a corner. I'd bet he didnt even realize that he was the one who hit Konate. Probably thought a foul was given and its his ball. Focused on moving the ball up the pitch.

The Ref did the right thing stopping play, it was a hit to the head. He did the wrong thing handing Kelleher the ball. It should have been an uncontested drop-ball from the side for Forest.

Maybe the Ref genuinely thought Konate was fouled? Who knows? But yeah, it was a mistake.

It was also on the 100% opposite side of the field from where the goal was scored.

Absolutely. Happens all the time. And is expected.

It was classless, a deliberate and shameless display of poor sportsmanship that no amount of little teenage bitchy eye rolling can defend.

Do you say this every time a team accepts a throw or corner that was incorrectly awarded? Because that is what this is equivalent to.

When your 'Noisy Neighbours' effortlessly hand the most expensive team on the planet their asses you've got to cling to whatever turd floats.

LOL. Wtf? No.

I say this everytime play is stopped for an injured player.

Play always resumes to ensure that the team that was in possession receives the ball back. It's accepted sportsmanship and fair play in the game.

That the referee screwed up doesn't excuse the behaviour.
