Not a clever tackle from Shaw but I'm not sure its that malicious.

Fair call on the whole I suppose...

Another ref in Utd’s pocket

What a joke, this ref is incompetent. Burnley get away with a clear red. Last week Bailly got a yellow for a challenge after the whistle, now this guy gets away with a red.

Football

"Got the ball"
Just no. Shaw might get a red here.

Another ref in Utd’s pocket

Are you two blind? Shaw got the ball. They have shown the replay a good 10 times and every time Shaw kicks the ball into the Burnley player and then his follow through contacts him. Its not even hard to see.

Another ref in Utd’s pocket

lol the ref giving nearly all freekicks to Burnley

 

[Fubsy]

The ref took the "easy" decision. I would have done the same under that pressure.

 

[Maundie]

Getting the ball doesn't automatically give the follow through a free pass, why do fans get so hung up on that, what if he's flying through the air kicks the ball and catches someone's head, definitely no foul as he got the ball though.

Dangerous play is dangerous play despite making contact with the ball 1st.

 

[Robbo]

That's harsh, jeez.

Pathetic from the ref and VAR, doesn't leverage off the defender whatsoever.

 

[adam cool dude]

Lol wtf. Burnley player went down like a sack of spuds. Bought that from ref.

 

[fez]

Ref having a good game so far

If thats a foul you will never see a contested header being a goal.

 

[dacads]

Are these referees for real? Beyond a joke

 

[Shamikebab]

Rofl this ref wants a Burnley win then. If that is a foul then he's missed about 15 Burnley fouls so far.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

What's Neville on about? Maguire's pushing through the defender, clear as day. You can't bulldoze players over.

 

[mid_gen]

I don't know why Maguire bothers going up for corners. He misses the goal 99% of the time and invariably climbs all over the defenders and gives away a foul the rest of the time.

 

[adam cool dude]

It is going to be one of those dirty Burnley games I see.

Barnes holding his face after diving? Can't someone just kick him?

 

[explicit4u]

Worth the VAR check for the Mee slow mo

 

[omnomnom]

Only Shami could say that was incompetant because United did get a decision. Thats a dangerous foul by Shaw. Getting the ball isnt relevant.

He knew he had lost. He backed into Maguire. It is from the school of Harry Kane.

I’m sorry but how is the Shaw incident any different to VVD’s foul on Mertens when Liverpool played Napoli in the CL a few seasons ago? He has studs exposed, wins the ball but rolls over the top of it and catches Mertens on the ankle. On both occasions the refs decided they were yellow card incidents.

Don’t be a hypocrite omnom, they’re either both yellows or both reds.
