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.
The term means that the defender has denied a clear goal scoring opportunity by breaking the rules which Vidic clearly did.
The commentator is a complete knobhead. Was saying something like
"Oh what great luck United have had over the weekend in the Chelsea match and now today"
Complete idiot.
People criticising Vidic? That was a masterclass in cheating and saved us from being 1-0 down. The only person on the pitch who saw that was van Persie.

He said he has sympathy with the lino yesterday because it was a hard call, but this one was obvious and if he can't see that he shouldn't be in the job.
Erm, how about if the lino doesn't see it clearly yesterday he simply doesn't do anything? I'm quite sure making a total guess is worse than missing an extremely slight handball.

Not if your cousin and some of your mates play for Chelsea.
Let's face it there was not many highlights in that first half.
that's a good bet.
Luck has feck all to do with it. He ran the risk and it could have fecked up 2 very important games. Being without Vidic against Drogba and/or Torres next week would be a huge loss
Risk being sent off, down to 10 men at the emirates and behind by a goal and then miss the game against the chavs, where we need him more than we need him today ? Nah thanks. I'd rather go behind a goal than have Vidic sent off.
That's my question: how does a cross count as a clear goalscoring chance when the attacking player is not in possession of the ball?
There's a probability that he misses the cross, heads wide or ever or the keeper saves.
I'm asking if the rules states anything about a cross inside the six yard area.

How was yesterday a hard call? He was 15 yards behind play, he was never in a position to make that call about Chelsea's first goal. He bowed to pressure from the Chelsea players and crowd.
But he's our next manager, Brophs!
It was still a difficult header and there was still goalkeepr to beat. It was risky tactic. I wouldn't mind going 1-0 down to Arsenal, but going a goal down and a man down would have been a disaster.
Redknapp's a twat. A lino that doesn't know for sure if the ball crossed the line should be making no call. If he is guessing if it did then he is far more deserving of not being linesman.
Come on United - lets get our freaking act together, we can't just sleep through this.

I was quite perplexed by that statement. How is Chelsea being given 2 goals that weren't goals count as luck to us?
No it just says an infringement which denies a clear goalscoring opportunity I think.
He's right, to be honest. The handball was about as blatant as it gets and I find it difficult to believe that the linesman didn't have a good look at it.
I dont like Jamie being dissed in this thread. Show more respect you lot. Sir Jamie Redknapp..ah yes, I can see it now.
my main concern is we are not closing them down in midfield fast enough.
and we dont have any alternatives on the bench.
Anderson needs to improve.

Lets hope we can win it this half. We can't get any worse really.
I agree with Souness also, Arsenal have been the much better team this half and just because they've battered us in passing and possession you can't shrug it off with the pass pass pass comment. As someone said, if this was Barca they'd probably have taken a chance.
Our passing and play has been off, we keep doing long balls. The attempted Fabio to Hernandez cutback was a nice move though, shame it didn't come off. Hope SAF gets into them and changes it up, we need to be better.
FFS Arsenal are like Barcelona
What a bunch of cocks SKY are

Who's on the bench in terms of midfield?
what I'm afraid of now , is that the ref may give a very soft decision - and I'll bet the they'll all roll and dive around Arshavin coming on
Arshavin spreading his cheeks for the official.
yup, i agree with that.
Arseshavin for Nasri on HT? Interesting..
Beg van persie pull his shorts up!
He couldn't be more wrong, actually.
The handball wasn't blatant for a start, nobody other than RVP saw it before getting the benefit of a replay, and even if it had been blatant, missing something is not as bad as inventing something. That should be quite simple, really.
Unfortunately, Arsenal are the only team looking like they're actually trying to win this match. I'm not too optimistic if we're to continue sitting on the edge of our box hoping for the best.
come on United. get a quick one and send them reeling.
Here we go again.
Please step it up United. The title isn't over yet and what we do in that second half could make the whole situation clearer. Let's try to score some goals.

O'Shea
That break dragged in
Wilshere does the exact same thing Rooney was booked for. feck all given.
I agree. It was a yellow and penalty. If he had handled the ball after RVP had headed the ball then it would've been a red.
Nasri with a hammy.
Here we go...45 minutes that could prove decisive for our season.
it was easier to see the handball for the linesman that it was for chelsea´s goal,not saying it was an easy call but it was easier than the goal.
