Name-Your-Price United vs. Arsenal (Cup-Holders)

[Mustard]

this referee looks like a fish

Still better insight than Danny Murphy

Still better insight than Danny Murphy

Calm it down. He's usually pretty good, one erroneous comment doesn't make him a bad pundit.

 

[TomPNE94]

Danny Murphy is shite. Michael Oliver has been excellent tonight. Feels weird to praise a referee.

 

[Aberstone]

Just remember everyone, your TV licence money is lining Danny Murphy's pockets.

Edit: Anyone else think he sounds a little like Ron Atkinson?

 

[Renegade]

Correct decision to send Di Maria off, but Michael Oliver is a fucking woeful referee. I've never seen him have a game where he looks under control, he should not be in charge in such a high profile fixture.

United's best game in months and they are going to lose. Reverse of the Premier League game, United gift Arsenal two goals. I guess it's some sort of karmic justice.

 

[HarvSFC]

Nani's scored for Sporting.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Diving little c***.

 

[thespus]

I retract my earlier hypothetical about the Welbeck penalty shout. Excellent bollocks, Mr. Oliver.

 

[Aberstone]

Fuck me Januzaj, that is embarrassing.

 

[BlueBee]

That is fucking awful. Get up you prat.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Oliver's reffed this match really well

 

[HarvSFC]

That answers the hypothetical penalty discussion earlier.

 

[Stevencc]

That's fantastic composure from Januzaj. The dive didn't work but he did fantastically well not to pull the ref's shirt off. World class composure from the young lad.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I think there's a deeply ingrained culture of cheating at Manchester United Football Club.

 

[Womble98]

Brilliant refereeing of this game.

 

[Mustard]

United are really trying to channel the spirit of 04 with all this simulation. Embarrassing.

 

[BlueBee]

Red card for Aaron Ramsey anyone?

 

[Cardsfan]

3 seconds later and he goes down FFS. Excellent refereeing from Oliver throughout.

 

[JimJams]

...Michael Oliver is a fucking woeful referee...

Been faultless tonight.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Januzaj is dire

 

[Renegade]

Been faultless tonight.

15 good minutes doesn't make him a good referee. I fear he'll get more high profile games simply for having the balls to send off Di Maria. The Janazaj decision was an easy one.

He had a very inconsistent first half. Booked Bellerin, didn't book Young for the same thing, didn't have the balls to give the penalty/freekick to Arsenal in the first half.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Rooney is doing my head in. Every decision and he's in the ref's face. Fantastic refereeing tonight though, as everyone has said.

 

[JJ1532]

If they were made for injuries fair enough, but if not, the subs made by LVG look poor now. They could really have done with being able to bring on the likes of Mata and Falcao in the closing stages.

 

[HarvSFC]

BBC Rooney?

 

[Veggie Legs]

Agree with all the comments praising the ref, MOTM tonight.

 

[Stevencc]

Another good save from De Gea.

 

[silkyman]

Have you only just noticed that?

 

[thespus]

De Gea's left hand is immense.

 

[GodsGift]

Really wasn't expecting Oliver to have the backbone to stand up to the Old Trafford crowd with those big calls.

Kudos.

 

[Stevencc]

Too many stupid mistakes and errors of judgement. We got what we deserved in the end.
