Our passing and movement has instantly improved since RVP left.........Hmmm...
We need another RB, we need a decent back up. Would you rather we keep using SMalling or Valencia when Rafael is injured or suspended or needing a rest?Sensational cross from Rafael. I hope we can end all this talk about buying a RB this summer.

Since when was that all-important?
But context shouldn't matter, right?
Personally I don't think literal interpretation of the rules works, and I don't feel they're enforced like that either. But if a goalkeeper screws up a clearance and is only saved from a pretty certain goal by handling the ball, intentional or not, "play on" doesn't seem like the right call to me. A red card doesn't seem right to me either though, fwiw. Free kick seems right? Yellow too, perhaps?
He has. Best along with Mata.Rafael has been very good today.
We really are a better team with only one of RvP or Rooney playing.
I'd agree that a free kick and no sending off seems fair but you have to apply the rules as they are.
Personally I'd like to see the way handball is dealt with to make it more clear cut. I don't know how you'd go about it though.

Are we passing the ball?
It isnt. Do you think that tackle in itself was forceful / dangerous enough to warrant a yellow in itself then?If so, learn football as I said.
Most of our best performances this season have actually been without one of them on the pitch, maybe RvP leaving wouldn't be so bad... right?Our team actually seem to know where they should be playing since RvP has gone off.

Well I havent seen Varela so i cant comment. You watch him do you?A fair question. My reply is that I see very good things in Varela.
Further, we have more pressing needs and I assume our transfer budget is not unlimited.
I think that goes for a lot of the rules in football though, referees take a lot of flack simply because the laws aren't black and white.
