From our throws the ref managed to find a booking for time wasting and a foul throw, one of the least enforced rules in football.
Fair enough. But Liverpool were stealing yards by the half dozen at every throw and he never once pulled them back. On one occasion they took a throw that should have been at the corner flag from somewhere close to the edge of the box.
I wonder if refs are paying more attention to our throws because we keep scoring from them?
ref was shocking.
I know they have changed the rules about dissent but dishing out yellow cards every 2 seconds is crazy. there is a big difference from a player having a little moan to screaming in the refs face.
I thought booking Nunez was pathetic. He just stomped and howled in frustration, not specifically at anyone. Surely he is allowed to be angry?Quote:

Ramsdale was in the background of the cameras with Sky whilst the ref was changing his equipment, tapping his watch and getting agitated. I think Arteta was having something to say on it as well.Quote:

lets just accept that 99% of all throw ins in the PL are foul throws...Quote:

throw the ball with both hands from behind and over the head from the point where it left the field of play
It is one of those rather silly old rules and refs always ignore it unless you do something absurd.Quote:

Can you imagine a stadium of 60,000 and a pedantic ref, sticking to every law of the game? The match would be 3-hours long...Quote:

Was it Mike Riley?Quote:

Quite incredible that Ashley Cole kept his cool after the Van Nistelrooy incident. I would have done him, sod the card :-)Quote:

Whinging, pathetic Munich c*nts.
Keown pretended to celebrate and 'accidentally' clonked him on the head :oQuote:

My favourite was Adebayor scoring in the 86th minute to nick a 1-0 win. Mostly because I was there. The 8-2 was less fun.Quote:

Clonked him on the head with his underarm as I recallQuote:

Well, I thought pretty much every game at Old Trafford from 98 onwards was a lesson in accepting bias. I think the Wiltord winner game in 02 was the only exception. They came out kicking and the ref booked four of them in the first half hour. Made a big difference.Quote:

Also I see Ferdinand has been making a prat out of himself about our "OTT" celebrations
Yes, although I had forgotten about the Giggs sitter. Wiltord scored the 2nd, Cole to Freddie maybe in the build up.Quote:

Filthy Munich c*nts.
Just watched the first 15 min of that game, Scholes and then Horseface booked early, then Horseface went through Ralph which looked a clear second yellow to me, Vieira booked for dissent.Quote:

:hehe: I actually know a fair few in Munich too but they are mostly from Ireland with one Icelander. But there is already a horrible team in red with associations with Munich so I don't get why you still refer to United as such (obviously I know why they might be, but it seems somewhat outdated)Quote:
