Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [31st October - 5th November 2014]

[elmuzzy66.]

He kicked him but he went down far too soft.

Yea he should have stayed up after getting kick in the ankle

 

[rhysduck]

Rooneys' gone a bit thin on top...

 

[cm1179]

that's a pen

 

[Azza]

He's had a mare here Oliver.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Another penalty not given, would have been straight red as well.

 

[Snax]

2 clear pens ignored. I feel for city.

 

[^JP^]

Not sure if he got the ball there, close one!

 

[Robbo]

That looked risky from Rojo. Dear me.

At least we haven't conceded (yet). Car crash defending from Smalling.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

The ref has saved utd this half.

 

[FrankJH]

Smalling was ridiculously stupid for both yellows - Blind gets booked but Clichy and Zabaleta don't for the same reason?

Not sure that 2nd penalty shout is anything (Rojo got the ball through Yaya's legs) but 1st one vs Aguerro was "saved" by the crowd around the ball.

No complaints really, but Utd should stop giving the ball away and should have made the most of the few chances they had earlier.

De Gea saving us yet again with a world class display

 

[Cosimo]

The ref has saved utd this half.

Doing his best to liven up the game.

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

Rojo got the ball? Not a penalty.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Doing his best to liven up the game.

Utd getting favors doesn't 'liven up' a game

 

[cm1179]

2 clear pens ignored. I feel for city.

referee's positioning is shocking

Rojo doesn't touch the ball.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

referee is shocking

fixed

Looks like fellaini spat at aguero when he was down. Just noticed it when it went to ad break.

 

[FrankJH]

Rojo doesn't touch the ball.

I honestly thought he did get a toe on it - but seems like it touched Yaya's thigh

Fellaini was completely daft over the first, didn't need to do anything (apart from stay behind him)

Looks like fellaini spat at aguero when he was down. Just noticed it when it went to ad break.

He was just shouting at him

edit - from the BBC

If Marcos Rojo had conceded that stoppage-time penalty for his challenge on Yaya Toure, he would surely have seen red too. He was the last man six yards out.

He came through the back of Toure but does appear to get a toe on the ball. Could go either way - but referee Michael Oliver was not in a good position, screened by at least two players.

Don't think the Sky replays show it clearly but it certainly looks questionable

 

[Robbo]

Rojo doesn't touch the ball.

He does, they just showed it clearly.

However, he hit Toure as well and took him out at the same time, so...

 

[Robert]

Also, not having the first as a penalty. It was the slightest of kicks. If that's a pen football may as well be no contact.
