When he let go of Berba's shirt and flung himself to the ground as if scoring a try?

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.
still a good open match so far....we are playing well enough...considering it is against 12 men.
He's gone down a number of times without the ref awarding a free kick - surely at some point he should book him for diving if it's no foul??
As for his other decisions, totally inept. Booking Evra was ridiculous and now it appears that any player who is challenged by Evra is going to go down 'injured'.
Berbatov didn't do anything wrong except get fouled (and got booked for the privelege). Yet Lucas can break up as many counter attacks as he likes without being booked.
Hahaha just did a Twitter search for "referee" out of curiosity. You would think it was only United players who went to the ref at half time.
wish fletcher was playing instead of carrick
he needs to up his game in the second half
we have to improve - and use valencia as much as possible - we look really dangerous when he is on the ball

We are missing Fletch
Improved in the last 15mins. Prior to that we were very sloppy.
Am I the only one who thinks Carrick has been very good?
No, Carrick has been good I agree.
Or, of course, the choice the referee made...do nothing.
Our best player. Covers grass for fun.
Nope I thought he was good, calm and measured when needed.
Agreed. just not happening for Giggs so far today. Need a bit of pace down that flank
rooney non existent
Carricks been decent, if he had Anderson next to him he'd be even better.
they were dominating us in midfield a bit and look pretty impressive from the right...some close interceptions...
same for us on our right by Valencia.
This ref is pathetically weak. Almost every decision he's been made has been influenced by the crowd.
Torres seems to be under instructions to throw himself to the ground with the slightest contact and the usual suspects (Mascherano/Lucas) are geting away with their anti football clinic.
I hope I'm wrong but I can see someone going off in the second half either through frustration or incomptence on the part of the officials.

I disagree. Scholes is our out ball from defence. Anderson would be invisible.
ref is utter rubbish
I can see Nani and Ando coming on after the usual 60 minutes
No, I think he has done well. I just don;t think he offers enough energy in matches like this. These are the matches that are made for Fletch. A couple of times when Liverpool were able o break, Carrick would just float back, no commitment in trying to win it back for our side.
Sack Fergie, sell Scholes. 
I think down to the lack of service, more than anything. Although he has given the ball away a couple of times.
I think either Nani on the wing, Giggs into the middle for Scholes...or Anderson on for Scholes.
Not saying Scholes has played particularly badle, but as been mentioned a few times, I think we need an injection of pace from somewhere.
anderson needs to come on and either scholes or carrick should be subbed.
He's been isolated due to our midfield being bossed for most of the first half. I'm glad he's not dropped deep actually.
We're playing very narrow. . .but when we get it out to the flanks(the right side as you've pointed at) we look a threat. We'll do them, though - I'm sure of it.
Evra looks worryingly nervous after the yellow card. I think Nev will replace him and oshea will play on left instead if this continues.
Valencia is crucial in second half. Need to put in some dangerous crosses.

VDS with them 2 crucial stops. Quality
thats what gets me about carrick - he sometimes has no physical presence
our midfield has been bypassed lots today tho with longer balls
he has been decent...a lot of passes to him have been cut off...their midfield is doing the job...mind you if Lucas can avoid the yellow for another 10 fouls, they'll be right in.
I think it will be Ando and Owen, if not only for the mental effect of having Owen on.
Gary Neville will come on and make a difference combining down the right.
We've been good, same again for the second half I say, just a few things not coming off, some nearlys and almosts. One goal and I think they'll crumble.
Unfortunately I agree - based on the yellows the ref has awarded, there should be several players already in the book. Torres's main objective is to get people booked / sent off.
I hope Gerrard has a word with him, because I've heard he doesn't stand for any of this diving malarkey...
Err.. except for the one mistake scholes has been playing well. Plus he's been immense in other games this season.
Owen will come on at some point for sure...probably for Berbatove..
We've been sloppy, they've made the extra man in midfield count by harassing ours and they're playing as if there season depends on it. I expect a different second hand.
Probably down to the fact that every time a liverpool player gets near him, they go down.
