His last penalty call was a definite penalty. How can you get such a cert so wrong even with VAR.

He doesn't help himself. It looks a foul, but he also dives, both feet off the ground, already on his way down as contact is made. The angle from behind shows it.

Doesn't help himself? Every forward playing the game does.exactly the same... 1st one on him is a stonewall peno as was AWBs foul, the 2nd one is more debatable but ya couldn't argue much if it given.

Going down before contact is made is a dive regardless of what happens after surely?

Depends, did you look at it and think 'that's an outrageous dive' or think 'hmmm could have been given'. Football can be a bit like that....

I struggle to see why United have not signed a top DM in years, the last person who did that role to the standard required was Hargreaves so you are chatting 12/13 years since his good season.
Carrick says hello. And Matic before the legs went. But yeah we need someone in that role, who is there that would improve us though?

Carrick and Matic had certain qualities but we're never top bracket DMs, they both lacked the nobility and physicality that is required.

f**k me ur setting the bar wild high if prime Carrick and Matic aren't good enough...

Hi folks.

Got tasked last night with ensuring a couple of older friends of mine get to and from Lanzarote with no hassles. How do I get talked into these things  :). Flights are booked, it's just Covid requirements.

Flying Dub/LAN, had a quick Google last night and my interpretation was that they needed to just fill out a form on Spanish government website and get a QR code for travel out and fill out passenger locator form online for return journey? No testing involved?

Anyone recent experience, thanks.

Anyone on the move I see all the Champions League games are now available live streaming on the Livescore app.

Apologies if this titanic and I'm the only one that wasn't aware...

One lingaard f/up away from a draw with 10 men away from home. However, that's now 7 out 11 champ league games Ole has lost.

Aye a draw would have been a palatable enough result under the circumstances but don't let the lateness or manner of the goal mask what happened before that, this was Young Boys not a top class European outfit. Utd should have been able to reorganise and while obviously fighting a rearguard action have enough about them to be dangerous on the counter attack but instead of that they retreated completely and allowed them attacks in waves not withstanding that they huffed and puffed a lot and without the error they didn't really look like scoring too often.

Putting on Martial was like playing with 9. Madness.

Bringing Martial on the plane to Switzerland was madness.

Only on here could that be the focal point of the night  :)

None of yis think then that Lowry a slightly lucky pick?

Not really is he not the next form player in line after Westwood and Wiesberger?

Yeah there is that but look at it another way he didn't qualify automatically by either of the avenues open to him so he's not exactly pulling up trees himself? The other three have all had stellar Ryder Cup careers which might be a distinct advantage in a tough away match in the US?

Im sure Padraig would have rather Lowry snuck into the last automatic place allowing him to pick the other 3

In Windows 10 there's an option to 'always allow' long file names by editing registry... Not as daunting as it sounds, courtesy of Google
