Biggest game of the season this "for me" it's a bigger concern than it should be as we have a vastly superior team unfortunately most of them are out of form. This is a great chance to pull together, nobody should need to be motivated for this. There is a lot at stake, home unbeaten record for sure, not to these cunts please. Fuck off var.

If you look at the Pearce quotes about Matip's availability, he makes it sound like there's a debate about "risking him" for this game or not, which is absurd. Whether he plays Sunday or not is completely irrelevant because he'll get injured at some point after anyway. There's literally zero risk. If he can run, heck even just jog, he should play.

This x 1000

 

He has to start. If he does, our chances of winning just about double. It's not like he's going to bombing up and down the line Robbo style.

Agree, when it comes to Matip this is the only logical approach. If he’s fit play him, as he’s very likely to pick up a new injury before the next game no matter what you do.

From SKY McTominay is now on a run of 31 fouls without a card since being booked after 24 seconds on Boxing Day in 2019 vs Newcastle so basically he can kick who he wants and gets away with it

Yeah but it’s the way he fouls not overly aggressive never steps over the line or something. Bent bastards.

Its been blatent in every united game I've watched how many yellow card challenges are ignored. Its more of a game changer than the penalties. You add in how many soft fouls they win and its huge in their results. Watch them play theyre mediocre.

That's fucking incredible when you consider Andre Marriner couldnt wait 6 minutes to book Thiago at Southampton for his FIRST foul of the game!

I dont want our players to be cunts to win a football match. We're supposed to be better than that and yes, while it sticks in the craw to see others prospering with it, I dont want us cheating, being snides, real clever or whatever you want to call it to win games and trophies.

 

This idea that if our players were more clever refs would suddenly start giving us shitloads of pens is fanciful in my opinion. We're talking about Taylor, Atkinson, Marriner etc, the same refs who see what goes on during a game and still wave play on when one of ours goes down in the box.

 

All that's going to happen is players like Sadio, Mo and anyone else who joins in will get carded for simulation. The problem isnt our players arent clever or that united players are. The problem is shit refs and now VAR never getting called out for giving soft penalties at important times during a game to united but turning a blind one to us and other clubs.

 

Spurs scored a goal at united one game that almost hit the back of the net and wasnt given because neither the ref nor lino had a good view of it! Even the united keeper after sheepishly putting the ball back into play was walking around his box waving his arms around to say how the fuck have you missed that, arent you giving a goal.

 

Hardly anything was mentioned about that huge incident and it was quickly brushed under the carpet to spare the fucking officials blushes.

If the playing field is not level then you can bet your life that nice guys will finish last.

 

Do you think Graeme Souness for example didn't know how to be a snide fucker, do you think King Kenny wasn't great at getting in refs ears....it isn't just about 'diving' although we probably could benefit from being a bit cuter at feeling contact and going down as they call it, without the theatrics that actually cause refs to assume it is a case of trying it on.

 

Sadly it is all a big part of the shitfest of modern footy and we have to get with it or we'll be sitting clutching our 'we played the right way' trophy whilst the others pick up the pots that matter.

 

The refs are shite, VAR is shite, but they are not gonna get better, we have to adapt sadly.

Im sorry but we really dont have to adapt. After Jurgen rightly raised the point about united getting almost as many pens in two and a half years than he has in 5+ years, does anyone seriously think the refs are now going to award us the type of pens they've been ignoring?

 

Are they fuck, they'll go the other way. And, they'll be more inclined to start waving cards at us when any of ours go down and shout for a pen that they've waved away before.

 

The pressure from Jurgen and the other managers in the PL need to keep up the campaign by putting refs in the spotlight whenever they give united another soft pen. United need to be stopped being given soft pens no one else is.
