Incredibly wasteful from United. Without wish to be churlish I don't think we learn much from this aside from the fact that Sancho might actually be a player. Middlesborough aren't great but they have come to play not "sit" the way 60% of EPL sides do when they come to Old Trafford.United have had so much time ans space to be only 1-0 up is really poor. Ronaldo and Rashford are trying to out gash each other and I can't say who is winning as yet.

Again as someone has said. You're playing Middlesbrough and have all of the ball. Wait till he plays a team at the top level...

Referee in wanting to be the centre of attention again shocker.

Sack the lot of them.

 

[Raymond Lin]

How is that not handball?

 

[Robbo]

What's the point of VAR there, I mean... what.

 

[fez]

I can't tell if this is a joke

Thats a ridiculous handball.

 

[explicit4u]

Christ, they somehow seem to always manage to outdo themselves, clear as day.

 

[ThundyCat]

VAR fails again.

 

[Alex h]

That's a disgrace taylor should never ref again

 

[adam cool dude]

We have replays or penalties?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Wow that's some BS. Rules suck.

 

[RobDogDog]

Laughable decision.

 

[omnomnom]

The law change means that, that isnt handball.

Not saying i agree with it...but the laws the law innit.

You weren't saying that when he was refusing to send Utd players off vs us the last two times we came to OT

 

[bingham67]

So as long as you don't put it into the net yourself you can control the ball using your hand? I have seen a number of those given as fouls all over the pitch this season.

I never said owt

 

[Robbo]

That is a horrific decision (rule or otherwise).

However - we have been very wasteful here, played well but messed up so many decent chances.

 

[WorTortle]

Handball rule has gone from one extreme to the other.

Man utd should be more than one up when it goes in though, they've wasted so many good chances

 

[RavenXXX2]

Accidental hand ball lol.

 

[Stumble Bum]

The second change is on accidental handball in the immediate build-up to a goal. If an attacking player's accidental handball immediately precedes another player scoring, the goal will now be awarded, when last season it was likely to have been ruled out.
