Gary Neville is being ridiculous

Hardly surprising, I suppose.

He's a massive ****. In every single thing he gets involved in. Property. Politics. Football. The lot.

I only hear the accent, not the words. And the accent sickens me. So he's a wrong'un. :judge:

He made a good point that if Gabriel hadn't gone down (aka dived theatrically) then the free kick would not have been given. And that would have been a whole different game!

:nod: I was trying to explain that to a city fan at work. It was actually very clever from Gabriel. He was also right about the comms issues with the lino. We had just built up a nice head of steam at that point. Thankfully, it didn't take long to get back on it.

Gabriel is perfectly under that ball and is going to head it clear. The shove, even though small, is crucial. So yes, he has to make a meal of it.

Has to be said, we got a bit lucky there. Many refs wouldn't have given it. And there is no way VAR gives that.

:nod: Had it not been given I didn't think VAR would have overruled it. That said, it was a foul.

Definitely a foul.

My friends who support United are going out of their minds. I swear they were not this hate-filled back in 2004. It is quite absurd. I get 20 messages a day.....:-)

I agree. It's like having a photo finish if you allow a false start.

You shouldn't be allowed to do that.

I also don't get why we look at offsides to the mm cos that mm could give you an advantage, but dragging back by the shirt is allowed.

Remember that first post-Covid game? Leno has the ball just inside the box and the push him, deliberate foul, not attempt to win the ball, to see if he'll carry it out in the act of being fouled. Injured and misses a cup final and a charity shield.

If two jump to challenge for a header, fair play. But Gabby was set and would have cleared it, that's why he got pushed in the back.

But if that's given, I still don't get why that Brummie **** was allowed to deliberately injure Leo.
