to be fair, Southampton haven't lost from the cards point of view, every card given for Southampton was completely fair (and it could be argued you could be a man down) so don't complain too much :)

(edit - the 2nd half is when those cards start becoming important ....)

No, just the goals point of view which tends to hold more importance in deciding who the winner is :p

I wonder how many more years we'll tolerate consistently poor officiating and just accept 'well it was difficult' as an excuse before we finally just introduce video reviews.

One point he does make well is the complexion of the game, Southampton 1 up sets up the remaining 80 entirely differently with completely different pressures on the respective teams.

He's right that it was a big decision and potentially game changing but him ranting about it being a disgrace etc was embarrassing. It was the wrong decision but it wasn't an easy call and it certainly wasn't a disgraceful decisions - we'll see worse offside calls than that every game.
 
That was a pretty poor offside decision Baz.

This is going south quite quickly. Southampton are up for this and we are not. Great finish.
 
Redmond saved Lingard. Southampton players honesty has saved Utd twice today.

It was onside, no doubt but the timing of his run was literally perfect and the lino is only human. As soon as he's looked up from the pass being played Gabbiadini probably looked offside.
 
We are being far too slow in our build up. Soton have far more energy than us and we are making it easy for them to shut us down.
