He had more words with the 4th official so hopefully a ten match ban...

Maybe, but not sure the offical deserves a ban that long

Bloody hell, they really are now making a meal of those two penalty decisions.

The difference in tone of the commentary is so noticeable, depending on whether Man Utd are in front or not. In front, it's all excitement, pegged back and the hyperbole stops and the voices are almost hushed.

I think it’s taken them being shite for years, us getting Rashford on loan for a few months and their recent upturn in results to make me really realise how sacred they are to football journalism in England.

They can never fail, only be failed. Barney Ronay wrote an article about Rashford signing for us that read like a requiem for his career, no mention of how he had been so utterly mis-managed at old shithole.

The way they get their own fans on min by min articles, complaining about decisions not going their way with no effort at self-reflection. They are somehow always presented as an underdog, rendering match articles about them little more than wordy Striker! comic strips from the sun. It’s really really fucking mental.

Georgie Best! Clayton Blackmore!

Bloody hell, they really are now making a meal of those two penalty decisions.

And isn't that just it? Endless scrutiny when something doesn't go their way so any other refs looking on know it's not worth the hassle.

[Small Rodent]

Although it was a tied on penalty, I’d like to see shirt pulling given more fouls, both in and out of the penalty area.

Georgie Best! Clayton Blackmore!

We didn't start the fire
