I'm not a great expert at soccer but please tell me how that wasn't a hand ball in the box at the 88th minute?

I havent seen it, but 'handball' is a complete coin-toss these days.

I just signed up for DAZN and I have to say that it was pretty sweet.

Great feed, no lag, good quality. Pretty great all around I must say.

However I have to find a way to get it through to my TV, any recommendations?

I do not possess an Engineering Degree nor am I particularly mechanically inclined....

Chromecast or Apple TV are your best bet.

I have an older model Apple TV, how does one enable DAZN on it?

Magic perhaps?

I tried throwing it at the wall repeatedly in frustration but that unique troubleshooting technique failed to resolve my issue.

I pondered driving by Steve Jobs' house and angrily firing it through his bedroom window but it turns out hes been dead for years so that would just be insensitive to the new residents. And futile.

I use the Fire stick and found its best. My results with Chromecast were terrible.

Do you have a smart TV?
My Samsung TV has a Dazn app available in it directly. Having said that it bugged out on me today and I had to chromecast from my phone anyway.

Easiest thing is a Chromecast, cost around $40 and you're good to go for this and useful for other media as well.

I just saw that now. It's clearly a handball, and I can't even see how it's debatable? Good thing that VAR is focused on the one mm offsides in the buildup though.

sacking Ole will do nothing, it's just deck chairs on the Titanic. Change needs to be made higher up the chain. United have been #### for 6 years now, it's time for Woodward to be held accountable.

Word is the financial results due tomorrow are going to be very good, so unfortunately for you and the United fans the most likely scenario is Woodward gets a raise and not sacked.

[devo22]

well we'll see how good the numbers are when they miss CL football two years in a row.

I hear this a lot, but isnt there a lot more blame t ogo around than that?

The thing is, United have spent a lot of money on players and let managers buy players, but the players they've wanted simply havent panned out.

sure. If they want to sack Moyes, van Gaal and Mourinho again, I'm all for it.

Uniteds situation wasn't created by Ole, it's a culmination of years of mismanagement and inaptitude on several levels. Canning the managers was inevitable and they were a big part of the problems, but at some point the suits have to take their share of the blame too. Woodward, Judge, the Glazers ... they have taken the most successful club in England and turned it into a soulless and gutless cash cow.

Ole has made the right personell decisions so far, but it takes time to weed out the deadwood that was brought in by his predecessors. It's even harder now because they didn't sign a replacement striker for Lukaku and another midfielder. Turning on Ole is exactly what Woodward wants, but the problems run much, much deeper.

[Senator Clay Davis]

No one disputes the awfulness of the Glazers, but Ole is 5-4-10 in his last 19 games as manager, and most of those are meaningful games. The squad has issues, but they shouldn't be playing like a relegation team as those last 19 games indicate.

I'm okay with it. Everything is great at United and they should keep on keeping on. Maybe make Woodward manager and head coach as well. Hes doing a bang-up job!

So what are you saying? He should be fired? Why?
Your feel he's done a poor job in the personnel he's let go? The ones he's brought in? He's had too much time already?
Instead of stating what we already know why don't you elaborate on your thoughts and what you think should be done.

What do you think they should do?

And then you have OGS come in and try and clean out all this useless crap and...

Spoken like someone that as hasn't a clue what is going on.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I don't think he's a great tactical manager, and that he should do better even with the squad issues. The Glazers suck, but they sucked for Van Gaal and Mourinho and they didn't even have a run this bad. He got the dead cat bounce post-Mourinho, but otherwise they've been pretty underwhelming you must admit.

Still didn't answer the questions.

Underwhelming? They haven't been good, yes. But what were you expecting?

They're equal on points with the team you projected to challenge Liverpool and City for the title and at the very least a shoe in for third but you're pretty quiet on that front. They're pretty much where you would expect them to be. With the above average teams.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I mean that 19 game run Ole is on projects to a 38 point season, so you tell me if that's pathetic or not. I kinda think it is, but I don't know, maybe United are a relegation squad to you. As for Spurs I'm pretty sure I said they were regressing like I don't know, two days ago? So yeah, they've been a massive disappointment.

[Slava]

hahaha, Spurs have had a terrible start to their campaign, but United is tied with us, so everything is good for them. I think that I've heard it all now!

(Just ignore the fact that we played away to City and Arsenal in there, whereas United was dropping points to powerhouses like Crystal Palace, Wolves and West Ham)
