Premiership 2016/2017

[Red Devil]

Watched most of the Utd - Arsenal game earlier. Utd really should have buried them, but they didn't. Rooney was pretty decent when he came on. His first touch was good for a change, and he ran the line well.

lacked the killer instinct to get the second goal though, and then we started sitting too deep at the end of the game which allowed them to get level. A bit of a disaster really given that we actually played ok for a change

Yes Cech had a couple of saves to make, but nothing more than what he would have expected to save. I thought Utd should have had a pen when an Arsenal defender hand balled it. The ball came back off another player and it his arm, but his arm was up.

to be fair there was the other shout as well when Martial was taken down and the defender had has hands across the front of Martial as he went down - that could very very easily have been a penalty too

Mourinho is right about the luck but the lack of confidence from poor results is costing us as we get edgy at the end of games

[Gingerfinch]

I didn't think the Martial one was a pen.

Wasn't it Valencia?

[Gingerfinch]

Wasn't it Valencia?

It was.

Cracking decision by the referee not to give a penalty after Shawcross wipes out Callum WIlson in the early part of our game. Probably won't be too many worse decisions this season. Would have resulted in a red card, so I guess it was too early in the game to brandish a card, so lets just wave play on!

Mind you we probably would have missed the penalty, and we are crap against 10 men.

I'll take the way the game panned out thanks!

Caught the spurs - hammer goals earlier. I thought the ref got both pens right, even though some hammer facebook friends were saying the spurs one wasn't.

I thought the Spurs penalty was a bit soft, Son played for it, and it was partly a case of him making sure his leg got wrapped up in the follow through of the defenders sliding tackle.

Defender was a prat, but still soft.

[Gingerfinch]

A little bit soft, but the defender went to ground and caught his leg.

Could easily have been given... and probably should have been.

Yeah.

Just seen it. How did the ref not actually see that? His view wasn't obstructed, and he was pretty close. You're right, there won't be many worse decisions all season.
