I would have to say not Mr Oliver’s finest game, thought he was far too lenient early in the game.
Mc Ginn was lucky not to receive a yellow card at least as the red mist came down, well at least it wont come down on the field next saturday as both he and mr shaw are sitting that one out.
Fernandes yet again seems to get away with everything, fouls, verbals etc.
With regard to the first disallowed goal it could be argued that Cavani ran into Ramsey, it could be argued that Cavani Was never going to get the ball. However the men that matter didnt see it in those ways, albeit Oliver didnt see the incident initially and neither did th ar flag.
Three and a half minutes to come to a decision is a long time.
Second disallowed goal clearly offside ings.
If the flailing arm by shaw in the last few minutes is deemed a yellow card offence a penalty should have resulted too.
All in all my team played well but as they couldnt score a legal goal, didnt deserve to win.
Not the first time we have left Old Trafford frustrated at decisions and i am sure we arent the only ones. We did win there earlier in the season lightening wasnt going to strike twice.
Have said it before on other threads but i like shearer, lineker and richards am not in favour of the use
Of var unless all games in the same round use var from fair playing field point of view.
As for the referee placing his arms on a player’s shoulder i am not in favour.
Players should not touch the referee and vice versa.
