At least there'll be no guard of honour for people to get annoyed about.

Fernandes kicks Foden on the floor. Foden double foots him in the stomach in retaliation. Foden off, fair enough, but nothing for Fernandes?
Well I'm totally confused about why that is a goal.
At the precise moment that the cross comes in, Dogu stretches his foot out to block, and puts it the other side of Haalands run to instantaneously play him on.
Yes, this interpretation of the offside rule is complete bollox.
But Fernandez remains offside and jumps right across the defender preventing him from attempting a clearance
On the other hand, it's quite funny.
It is funny. Also funny is the PL match centre tweeting a justification that is wrong in law.
Funny, that is, if you find it hilarious that the game is in the toilet.
United losing to 10 men is funny
United playing shit after all the spend is funny
Carrick looking like a poseur is funny (not saying he's crap, but the Messiah stuff looks delightfully premature)
City relying on dodgy ref calls with their bags of cash is funny
Football having dodgy calls week in, week out is frustrating but hardly new. I'm not convinced it's worse than ever right now, in that regard.
In other ways, yes football can really suck, so I'm going to take what positives I can.
I see PGMOL or whatever they have rebranded themselves as now have already admitted they got it wrong.
If United can't get decisions at old Trafford, you've got to wonder what the hell is going on in the world
Maybe a club that can avoid the rules for the best part of a decade has a lot of financial muscle?
It was actually funny as fuck to watch. Maguire, in particular, was increasingly completely wound up, because he wasn't getting decisions that he would normally take for granted getting there. Not decisions that he should have got, just ones he was used to getting, you understand.
Also let's not forget. The onfield officials got it wrong. The broom cupboard boys got it wrong. The refs organisation official comm's release got it wrong.
Anyone seriously think if it hadn't been a crime against the manure metaverse that they would have rowed back on it so quickly....or at all?
Have they said they got the Foden decision wrong yet? The Fernandez kick in his back to start it off was worse, but it should have been two yellows. Not that VAR could do anything about the Fernandez kick after the ref decided to ignore it, because VAR only intervenes once the boxes are ticked, without the application of common sense. Which I guess is a reflection of the world we live in.
I'm looking forward to teaching the lads that I can kick them in the arse, and they get sent off if they miss kicking me back.
The onfield officials got it right. Ubercunt Fernandez was miles offside dived to head ball and dragged Midlevelcunt Martinez away from Haaland. Flag went up.
Edit: ignore me. Apparently the flag went up for Haaland offside which VAR overturned. Neither the Lino nor VAR could see Fernandez in the middle of the box, evidently.
We've moved up one place in the table without having to lift a finger.
Au contraire - I've lifted 2 in the direction of Newcastle.
