GWT: PL Matchweek 33 & 34

[Live in the Now]

They showed the replay so many and from so many angles on Sky Sports feed. It's a clumsy challenge by the defender.

Bruno stood on him. I have seen people call for other players to get red cards for those.

Well it’s been happening all year for that team.

I dunno about that but calls like that make it so annoying to watch the stuff that doesn’t get called that should. Especially when you have VAR to make up for the terrible ref.

 

[Jussi]

According to transfermarkt, Bruno is 24 for 26 from the spot. Last miss in October 2018, after that 15 straight.

Bruno could stab some one in Trafalgar Square right now and the press would still be taking about him like the second coming.

What the f*** is the point of VAR if all it does is steal points for United?

 

[Live in the Now]

I was just thinking about this, but one thing I find interesting as it relates to this league is that all the teams in the bottom positions are predominantly made up of young players who have in many cases just come to England. It used to be that those teams were predominantly made up of older pros who grafted their way to the top flight. This season, Sheffield United is the team made up of older professionals from lower leagues and they've flown up the table. It seems the goal of these younger teams isn't so much to stay up as it is to make money from sales.

People have gotten reds for ankle steps like this, f***ing disgrace that that was a penalty

That would be the point.

 

[hatterson]

It's not a pen, but save me the pearl clutching about reds.

Ok well that's disingenuous, Bruno didn't stand on the guy purposefully or maliciously. He went for a spin move and in the second half of it he and the defender came together. Neither player did anything wrong and other than one guy no one thinks it should be a penalty.

That's not the point I'm making, my point is that Bruno is very clearly the one committing a foul there which makes the penalty call all the more ludicrous

Neither did Salah but that never stopped anyone. I agree with the rest though.

 

[YNWA14]

Maguire hugging Mings business as usual.

 

[Aladyyn]

I take it everyone saying it's the worst penalty call they've seen just so happened to miss our game against Bournemouth?

 

[YNWA14]

Greenwood is prodigious.

 

[Live in the Now]

Shaw wouldn't look out of place on the other team. Replacement is needed there.

 

[hatterson]

That was with his "weak" foot. Absolutely crushed it.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Lucas Digne is such a no brainer for them

 

[Jussi]

MASON!

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Greenwood...what a monster.

 

[Live in the Now]

Mings not closing down there was pretty hilarious. Yeah, just let the guy shoot. That's how they got in the relegation zone to begin with.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

God, Greenwood is so good

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol come on that's not a stamp.

 

[Gecklund]

They already have his replacement.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Lol come on that's not a stamp.

Do you wanna read my above post? That's not the point I'm making. The point is that it's a disgraceful penalty call.
