Had Man Utd scored that and the goal stood, many many of our fans would have moaned that our defender had his leg hooked and why on earth does VAR not get involved.

But the key point here is that it would have stood.

Think I have talked to every fan of other clubs and they agree we were good and robbed tonight.

I'm so pissed off with that var bollocks today. Its not the sport we loved growing up. Football has been ruined forever with this var rubbish. 

 

You must thank God VAR was n't around when Geoff Hurst's "Goal" stood...lol

That goal was clearly over the line. Never in doubt.

Yes probably 😂

 

But how can there be 2 entirely different approaches for the 2 main events of the game? If the mctom tackle was looked at forensically and led to a red, then you could understand the goal being chalked off, it seemed ridiculously lenient for the red card challenge and then ridiculously over the top for the goal.

VAR wouldn't have been involved in that even if it had existed. Hawkeye decides if the ball is over the line and has virtually always got it right.

Good point, that's true.

The sky commentator did my head in with every corner bleating on about our dodgy corner defending. 

 

Unlucky not to have won, they were there for the taking.

 

Glad to see Evans and Fof back in defence. Onwards to Thu!

Great post on the BBC website:

 

Lovely to see Gary Neville turning to his 3rd profession after politician & pundit. The comedy of him saying that Ineanacho swept Varane’s leg for the referee to disallow the goal. VAR doing everything they can to keep a terrible Utd in the top 4 shake up after deciding not to review McTominay’s tackle. Honourable mention to Martin Tyler too, who couldn’t sound more desperate for Utd to score.

The sooner people collectively admit this league has serious integrity issues the better.

Just makes you fall out of love it with the sport.

Bloody frustrating the best two saves in the Premier League this season have been against us.

Depends if he is a scapegoat or not, if Perez got his leg hooked I’d have hammered him.

I’m annoyed at him now just for imagining it. The prìck.

I hope United finish the season eight or ninth. They're so painfully average and even without Vardy, we should have beaten them. Poor, muddling team who should have lost today.

 

Went there to win trophies, did you Harry?

I think I’m just caring less and less, we stuck it to the establishment and have peaked, for me now we’ll never surpass our previous glories. Just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Same, what was pleasing today was the animation from the players. OK, kicking off at the ref and appealing everything is not a hugely positive trait bit we have often been too nice and it's definitely cost us. If we are going to continue to see this blatant bias go on then I hope we react by being absolutely vile and causing as much damage and upset as possible.

Bloody hell, you've had a busy night!

If it makes people feel any better,  I was in a pub in Bedford  and the barman commented that he was the only United fan in there and there were about 12 Leicester fans.

 

We are growing  and we aren't going away 💙😀

Agree, I do like var it just needs to be consistent, one decision goes one way in one game and the same decision goes a different way in another. 😡 But I have to agree I preferred it before var.

Yes I’m inclined to agree. It’s hard to say it, to think it.. but it’s lost it’s appeal. It’s the same shit, different day.

I mean look at that rat face fairy Fernandez or whatever his name is, he got Youri booked and there wasn’t even contact. Rolling around on the floor like he’d been stabbed in the calf.

Seems clear to me. you can slow down the frames, their shins are touching, varane pushes him, as kelechi falls back he grabs his foot onto the leg of Varane and pulls it. The push does not cause the hook though, the hook is a response to the push. 

 

 

If you "slow down the frames", you'll see Kel was fouled first.
