Topic: The FA Cup 3rd Round

[Crosby Nick]

Not watched that much of it but did they start pretty much their first XI?

Looks that way. Said before that it was Garnacho’s 15th start in a row I think. Seems perfectly reasonable management of a young lad.

Suppose he had tougher conditions in the workhouse as a lad though.

[jillcwhomever]

he goes down when there's no contact though Jill

And gets them regardless.

[Wabaloolah]

Not pretty much, did.

excellent, and struggled to beat them too by the looks of it

[Wabaloolah]

And gets them regardless.

yep, Mo couldn't get one if he's physically assaulted in the area, this fanny though....

It's a joke

[Andy82lfc]

Well he grew up around 20 minutes away from Old Trafford, how far away do you want him to be?!?!

Is right.

If you cut him in half he’ll have ‘Altrincham  FC’ running right through him.

Apparently he still buys a season ticket for them every year even though he obviously can’t attend any matches. I mean talk about a fucking blatant attempt at keeping up the whole ruse. All obviously known full well by the refs club too. Bent as fuck the lot of them.

I’ve said this before.
Imagine for a moment  a referee called John Jones. He was born and grew up in Speke.
He is a member of the elite panel. He says he supported South Liverpool growing up, despite his family all being season ticket holders at Goodison
He gets given Everton v United.
An Everton player makes a lunge at Rashford who is injured. It was a  reckless lunge and the Everton player was the only one between Rashford and the goal.
Jones gives a free kick and doesn’t red card the Everton player.

What would be the reaction from the media?

[AllyouneedisRush]

Well they struggled to beat a struggling league 1 side, needed a soft pen to make it respectable

[AllyouneedisRush]

And Sam Matterface is an utterly shite commentator

[Stockholm Syndrome]

The amount they are giving plaudits to this win against WIGAN is nuts

[AllyouneedisRush]

The mighty Eastleigh will beat them.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

And Sam Matterface is an utterly shite commentator

A man so devoid of charisma and charm that he actually sucks it out of anything in his general proximity

[Hymer Red]

And they are back complete with soft pelantys and everything corner turned etc etc

Enough about his escapades in the bedroom.

Altrincham's a big United town as well. And I went to a game there once a few years back and the United game was on at 12:30 in the clubhouse at the ground. Everyone else in there was cheering on United and this was full of Altrincham fans. Taylor's from a family of United fans. He shouldn't be doing their games, not only that but he frequently gets United-Liverpool.

Caught the penalty incident. It right that they said Fernandes has had THIRTY ONE penalties at the Mancs?

This season?

[Red Beret]

The amount they are giving plaudits to this win against WIGAN is nuts

To be fair, we struggled so much against a magnificent Arsenal, who were unlucky not to put five goals past us....

[newterp]

This season?

game

[AllyouneedisRush]

So that was smart by Fernadez ..... OK I get it.

[stockdam]

According to Wright it was a penalty but the Jota one was a dive………similar amount of contact. According to Kean it was clever by Fernandes. These pundits need to be consistent and stop making things up as they feel fit.

Only because Taylor can't do all their games. Otherwise, it would be three figures at least.

[Raid]

And Sam Matterface is an utterly shite commentator

Didn’t he replace Clive Tyldsley. Madness

[Eeyore]

So that was smart by Fernadez ..... OK I get it.

I think it was quite stupid really. He got caught on the toes and went down with a stress fracture of his tibia.

[Crosby Nick]

So much more convincing when they go down immediately rather than take an extra step isn’t it? And in fairness to Fernandes he was also running at full speed like Jota too.

[Wabaloolah]

did they actually say that?

[JRed]

Why? The referees do it so why shouldn’t the pundits.

[Judge Red]

Clearly had the agenda in their ear. Even bobby brown shoes didn’t want to step out of line. Ridiculous.

[Wabaloolah]

Think it was Suggs in Madness not Clive Tyldsley

[Hymer Red]

It was a pen as there was contact and I would have been pissed if it was us and didnt get it but..... he went down like he was shot from a tap on his toe holding his shin and the ref was right there. Because of that obvious cheating i would have said no but not a bit surprised Taylor said yes

[AllyouneedisRush]

did they actually say that?

Yes, Keane said it and Wright agreed.... they go on about consistency of refs all the time, but they are even worse with their punditry ..

It was very soft as he could have stayed on his feet if he wanted to.

[stockdam]

United have an easy match in the next round which is great as it keeps Ten Hag in a job.

I've been to both of them grounds on my travels, they won't like playing at either.

[Hymer Red]

Agreed but he didnt so was always getting it from Taylor. If it was us I would be complaining that we didnt get it despite the contact because we dont have any LFC friendly refs

[Eeyore]

Since 18/19 Mancthony Taylor has refereed United on 23 occasions.

Tonight was the 9th penalty he has awarded United.

Nine fucking penalties in 23 games. I thought Trent and DeBruyne were good at assists.

In those 23 games he has given the opposition 2 penalties.

[newterp]

haha - espn in the US does a quick highlights package - for the penalty they had the far above view - and no replays at all.

The Wigan players were all in shock when the ref gave it.

But they replayed the penalty goal from 3 difft angles.

The magic of the FA cup and plucky underdog stories. Heartwarming.
