Quote from: Ger Regan on April 15, 2012, 04:26:48 PMFrom the Guardian Minute by Minute:"Since a penalty is awarded for a foul committed in the penalty area, then surely to receive a penalty a player has to be fouled," begins Andrew Mullinder. "When did 'contact' constitute a foul in and of itself? Young was touched, and dived. But commentators and journalists justified it by saying there was 'contact'. There was, but so? Are there now separate 'penalty rules' that bear no relation to the normal rules of fouls? A cynic might say that it's something to do with playing at Old Trafford, but since I'm not a cynic I shall leave that unsaid."I was trying to get the words myself, but this sums it up for me.Indeed, contact seems to be enough these days, even if it's only contact because the attacker stuck his leg out to get it.

Young fouled Bannan about 3 times then FFS Halsey, useless knob. We have to complain about this bloke, and get him struck off our games.

Of course.Pessimist? No. Realist. This is our worst season in Premiership history. And worst manager.Yes I know, but I'm hoping we can somehow claw back a goal and get a result.You are hoping we get twatted so you can shout McLeish Out a bit more.There's the difference.

How many goals will it take to sack AM?
I suspect that this is our last league fixture at Old Trafford for sometime, but we might as well save time and money and just concede this match 3-0 rather than play it.
