[Football] Who do you want to win today, Man U or City?

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I just don't understand the rules, officiating and var. It just seems a lottery, so utterly random.

 

[AlexBH]

Hand ball rule as it stands is totally ridiculous. The thing that makes no sense to me is that if the ball had accidentally touched the attackers hand and they score the goal is disallowed as the attacker is not allowed to benefit from an accidental hand ball, but if the defender accidentally touches the ball the attacker then can benefit from the defenders accidental hand ball. So accidental handball is rewarded in one scenario and then punished in the other. The key word being accidental! Ludicrous!

You are not alone. The game is suffering due to a lack of clarity and consistency when it comes to the laws of the game

 

[Deadly Danson]

Mitoma getting wiped out in the box is fine with Attwell, Christ why did you bring this up again I’m raging now

Happy to be of service . I will never forget.

 

[Sepulveda]

Erm no, the one doing the accidental handball is punished in both cases

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Is there nothing in the laws about proximity? Grealish is a yard away from him, he can’t get his hand out the way.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Isn't it all quite easy to sort? Penalty only given if the handball is clearly and obviously deliberate and with the intent of gaining an advantage.

Gundogan is on fire.

 

[allystrat]

De Gea dreadful again

 

[timbha]

Gundogan is on fire.

Really?. United are so poor. Is Rashford playing?

 

[jcdenton08]

City really haven’t been at their best. United aren’t doing that much but City keep making mistakes.

Sancho and Eriksen passengers from the word go. I doubt we would have had any passengers had we made it through.

 

[dangull]

players should jump in the air like a torpedo arms tightly to their body to avoid an obvious penalty. No excuses.
I'm glad their thinking of changing that rule.
Glad that City are winning as I'm still hurting because of the semi final

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Sir Alex has seen better days.

 

[Happy Exile]

I'd like United to score just to give their horrible fans a sense of hope, then City win with a Fernandes own goal in the 6th minute of time added on for De Gea time wasting.

 

[monty uk]

Or a bit more hope - penalties with an 11-10 win to Citeh with Fernandes missing the last.

 

[Icy Gull]

I am not watching but I’ve just seen on BBC Sport that United are really going for it by bringing on Weghorst and McThug to rescue the game

 

[timbha]

Did Stones just head the cross bar?

 

[Lever]

I am not watching but I’ve just seen on BBC Sport that United are really going for it by bringing one Weghorst and McThug to rescue the game

I want 'Mindgames' Weghorst to lose....

 

[WhingForPresident]

What a shame.
