Clear penalty by Luisão right before half time, goes to VAR, nothing given.

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.
Who's in the VAR? A priest?
Read the emails " E agora apaga tudo"
And now a goal wrongly disallowed, Christ, and then Benfica fans want the others to believe in their so called "tetra" I would call it the "treta".

Yes hope so. Won't mention we were robbed the other week v Porto.
That should've been a yellow for Otário, the guy just stumped Varela's hands on the pitch.
Benfica complaining about the referees is the same thing as Donald Trump complaining about fake news.Zivkovic
Zivkovic doesn't help much his argument to play more tbf.
Draw, controversy, one red card... this has been perfect so far. Hopefully Benfica hold on
Krovinović looks like a good player, actually.
Marega
Feck sake we are playing like shite
0:0 more 1 week of controversies to change a little bit.
That was a shitshow of a football match but I'll take it.
I heard from a Porto friend they are close to sign Nakajima, don't know if it is true, but they do look to be missing a little bit of creativity, don't know why Sérgio doesn't play more Oliver.
I'd love Nakajima. Excellent player. Would get his jersey as soon as he signs, if he does.
The person who told me knows people who work there, beside that the main investor at Portimonense is Teodoro Fonseca Hulk agent or former agent, lets see if it will happen.
About the Porto-Benfica from last night:
I watched the game in a café, so i only saw today the highlights with more attention, and agree that overall, Benfica was benefited, but there was a big mistake by the referee that could have changed the whole game:
-In the minute 11 Felipe should have been sent off because of his tackle on Jonas. Not even an yellow card.
We can't predict the future, but Porto would clearly had a tougher game and any of the following mistakes would have hapened.
In the minute 45 the referee should have given a enalty to Porto, being a controversial move from Luisão, it was mandatory to appeal VAR help to make the right decision.
In the minute 56, the referee calls an offside(that wasn't clearly an offside) just before Marega shots(and scores). A really bad decision by the referee.

3 more points after a very bad first half. Our improvement in offensive set pieces this season has been the best thing that could have happened to this team.
Other than that it's nice to know Mateus is still alive.

Mateus is the new Lourenço. Bas Dost knee goal
Mathieu amazing transfer. Has shut me up well.Why?Mateus is the new Lourenço. Bas Dost knee goal
He's been in the league forever. Looks like he doesn't age like Lourenço.
Christ Lourenço
another one who was a fake striker who didn't made nothing special at senior level. Regarding yesterday best second half in the league at least for a while. Gotta say would like more to see Bruno Fernandes in the WC than Adrien if he doesn't take his place at Leicester.Bas Dost is wierd. He's shite but somehow scores a lot where ever he is. Maybe he's not that shite..
He scores a lot in Portugal or Dutch League, in Bundesliga his best season was when Mr. De Bruyne was creating goals for him.
Yep this is his level. Has replaced Slimani well which wasn't easy. He has to improve his scoring against top opposition. Some of his misses against Juventus, Barcelona and last year Real Madrid cost us because they were close affairs. Anyways i really like him and his chant is great. Holland has given us good goalscorers. I was a big fan of Wolfswinkel even if he flopped after leaving us. I prefer to bet on them rather than André Baladas (who incredibly doing well in Brazil and wanted by brazilian top clubs).
Sim. He scored 15 in 34 in the Brasileirao and 04 in 07 in the Sulamericana.
Mostly because hes playing in the Nordeste where there is less pressure.
Thats his level.
He could not take the pressure of the media and fans when was playing in the big centers: Sao Paulo, Rio, Belo Horizonte, etc.
He doesn't look the type of player who handles well the pressure when he changes to bigger clubs.

Bruno Fernandes scored de first goal and Podence did a nice assist. If Bruno keeo playing this well, Fernando Santos must call him to the WorldCup.
When I first saw him in the U21 Euro I thought he was average and Sporting was not doing a good purchase, but he surprised me, being one of the best players this season.

I don't think he's quite good enough yet. Still varies too much between brilliance and just messing up attacks, him and Gelson are very talented but still a bit brainless and frustrating way too often. I'd rather take someone more solid and experienced. Positive signs overall for us yesterday though, we really need Podence to start playing like that regularly. Portimonense came to play football instead of just wasting time so it was quite an enjoyable game too.
For the Euros we took 3 keepers, 4 fullbacks, 4 centrebacks, 2 defensive mdifielders, 5 centre midfielders and 5 forwards and we'll probably do the same or maybe we'll take one more forward and one less midfielder.
3 keepers: Patricio, Anthony Lopes, José Sá(?)
4 fullbacks: Guerreiro, Cedric, Nelson Semedo, Eliseu/Coentrão
4 centrebacks: Pepe, Fonte, Bruno Alves, Neto/Edgar Ié
2 defensive midfielders: William and Danilo
centre midfielders: Moutinho, João Mário, André Gomes, Adrien, Pizzi, Bruno Fernandes
forwards: Cristiano, André Silva, Quaresma, Guedes, Bernardo Silva, Gelson, Nani, Eder
I'd just take 4 centre midfielders, leave Bruno Fernandes and Pizzi at home if Adrien plays well for Leicester and take Cristiano, André Silva, Bernardo, Gelson, Quaresma and Guedes out of the forwards. I don't think we can afford to leave any of these 6 players at home.
Cup draw
Tonight Benfica and Sporting will play against each other in a match that can put Benfica out race for the league title, as the gap between us and Porto and Sporting may become 6 points, and Benfica have been playing really badly unfortunately.
I expect a win as this is the only competition we are still on and there is a lot of pressure in both the manager and the players.

Guys, do they have VAR for every game in the league or just some of them?
If I am not wrong every match is on TV so probably yes VAR is for all matches only in first tier.
I see, thanks
The derby would be more fun with Porto dropping points.
Very lively game so far.
That's a penalty, VAR will tell. No? F… sake!
Really enjoying this.
Benfica should be level. Had a header cleared off the line and now hit underside of the bar. Really good shout for a handball, surprised penalty wasn't given as it went to VAR and looked pretty clear.

Surprising scoreline, Benfica are looking much more dynamic and dangerous.
