I might use this for one of your posts in the Greenwood thread. Ta mate.
The outrage when a decision goes in Manchester United’s favour
- Thread starter Irrational.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Challenge accepted, you’ve been @‘d in the relevant thread. Don’t disappoint, hopefully more relevant than you pitching up on a United forum to whine about us getting a deserved penalty.
Oh Sherwood was doing coverage of our game in the studio for Sky Sports on Soccer Saturday, I had it on whilst simultaneously watching our match.
OK then...
Key word being 'might' eg. I might put you on ignore or I might have better things to do like counting the moon.
I heard a Fulham player was booked for time wasting when he was waiting for a second ball to be kicked out?
Feckers hate us cuz they ain't us.
Enjoy the moon & getting upset over correct decisions in favour of rival teams.
The meltdowns are comical...best to just enjoy them.
Utd got lucky with the red card, I think Boly gets around but it's not a clear and obvious error and it's not certain so shouldn't use VAR and Red must stand.
Pen is a dive, not as ridiculous as the one given for Liverpool last week but it's more of a booking than a penalty. There is some contact, like with the Liverpool one so they can't ask the ref to check it. Pretty obviously at this point they need to change the procedure because a tiny bit of contact doesn't mean it's not a clear and obvious error and the ref should take another look at calls that probably lead to goals.

Just seen both decisions. How can anyone say that isn’t a penalty? A clear pen.
Nonsense. It’s a foul.
You're an actual freak
Okay, I'll ignore ya.I'm not sure you're doing what you think you're doing, because it makes no sense at all.
Fair enough - that's a more balanced take. Sorry for calling you nuts in my previous post.
I made a response to his post in here about United’s penalty & he starts talking about MG. We didn’t all agree on MG & that’s fine but at what point can we move on & keep other threads on topic? My replies are as irreverent as his was. He’s moaning about 2 decisions in the United game & instead of discussing those, cause I thought this was a forum, up pops MG again.
Agreed, One thing for sure is is more of a foul than the danger free kick given to Forest for a none challenge by Dalot at 79' on Morgan Gibbs-White. Our players need to be taught how to turn a nothing challenge from opposition into a free kick. Everyone else does it to us.
What the feck?
i thought the opening weekend non-penalty was a joke decision...but today was fine? red card was clear, rashford pen was a 50-50. onana even got an insane yellow. what are they compaining about?
fecking hell, the Fergie years really left a scar on every other team and fan in this country didn't they.
It's such an easy excise for opposition managers when they play Utd. Any decisions go our way, regardless of if they're clear and obvious and they come out and say its typical Utd ref bias and millions of fans around the country just lap it up because that's what they want to believe.

It's literally a stonewaller unless you're visually impaired
There’s no controversy on either. Forest player slips and drags Bruno down. Clear contact on Rashford knee to thigh.
Which means Dermott Gallagher will say the ref got both wrong on Monday.

As suspected
It's truly mind blowing the meltdown that follows us getting the slightest of decisions.
The Onana thing against Wolves. (Allison and Ederson have done similar). Today with Rashford and the Red Card.. All these things happen in plenty of games throughout the season with barely a whimper except when it's United that are the beneficiaries then it's full on hysteria

He's a Chelsea troll who thinks there's a conspiracy against Manchester City.
Marginal call goes against Utd - these things happen, it all evens out
Marginal call goes for Utd - this is a clear example of corruption

It was one of those orange cards, I could definitely see us mad if it was the other way around. Regarding the penalty it's a soft one I dont think those should be given but the are since VAR was established so cant really complain much.
Did anyone hear anyone say anything, let alone see a replay, of Bart Verbruggen punching Soucek in the head with both hands simultaneously, leaving him with a concussion and having to be subbed off?
I mean, considering that the goalkeepers' leeway in challenging for the ball was all the rage just a week ago?

Yeah but what you’re not seeing is that United benefitted from a correct decision which of course warrants investigation!
I’d be more mad at our player being such a fecking idiot than I would be the referee giving a red.
Would be keen to see this.
This is the problem we now have with the uproar over the Onana non penalty (which, as we’ve subsequently seen is often not given anyway) and the red card taken away from Mac Allister which I’ve never seen happen before for similar challenges.
Every lost game is going to result in complaints.
It’s a shitshow made by the officials and their overlords

there is nothing marginal today, both stonewall.
I thought the pen was stonewall and the red card was one of those where sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't.
It certainly wasn't a howler or anything like that, Forest are being pathetic here.
This is insanity
They do this because it drives clicks and views. I can almost guarantee that network executives encourage pundits to say outrageous nonsense and create "controversy" out of thin air.
Wow. They’re just pissed they fecked up a 2-0 lead.
I guarantee if it was City or Liverpool with those decisions they’d have crawled back under their rocks and took the defeat without a peep.
Every penalty Chelsea have ever gotten is a dive, then. Show me literally a single pen Chelsea have gotten that isn't.
Not a single replay of this was shown during the lengthy break that followed it. So keep punching attackers goalkeepers, caring about goalkeeping challenges was so last week.
