    Yet you say that Bruno Fernandes one isn't a red?

    Yes because all he did was stand on the player who had slid in. The difference is Romeu went in with a straight leg and left one on Greenwood and Fernandes was trying to hurdle the tackle.

    Agree with clumsy - Romeu isn`t the most nimble of players, and just didn`t get his feet sorted out to change direction when the ball was gone. Instead of putting his foot on the ground, he put it on Greenwood`s ankle. That said, we`ve seen reds given for far more innocuous challenges than that.

    Hope he is still there next season as it will mean that teams will still be able to get at Utd with a CB that has a wider turning circle than a cruise liner...

    I applauded Jack who, on being angry because he thought he’d been fouled, jumped up and took a wild swing at Bruno and caught him. Ref played on. Naughty Jack but I liked it.

    Maguire? Yellow only.

    VVD? No foul

    Lovren? Goal awarded to Saints

    Incidentally I just watched the highlights again. Fantastic goalkeeping from Alex, to deny Martial after he’d picked JWP’s pocket early on.

    Alternatively

    Fernandez wasn’t jumping to avoid the challenge he was turning on the ball and his momentum landed him on his leg

    and Oriels right leg slid and he was trying to stop, hence his arm being out also making contact with Greenwood

    But in Tom’s eyes there is no Alternatively

    Used to work with a Plastic Manc who’s lectures to me on football always included the words “This is a fact, not an opinion”

    Shame to end this thread like this ...

    And that’s just an opinion

    I'm far from the only one here who thinks Romeu should have been sent off you know.

    But he wasn't sent off deserved or not it's another on the list of contentious decisions. Time to move on to tomorrow's game.

    Most of us are questioning why he didn't even get a yellow, presumably they studied the action from different angles and just gave him the benefit of the doubt that it was unintentional?

    Is there not still a thing called retrospective action in cases where the ref doesn't spot an alleged offence? If so, it's interesting that it hasn't been mentioned in the media.

    I saw that yesterday and the first thought I had was “If Obafemi had miss kicked the ball away from the goal, would the ref/VAR have had the balls to award a penalty, because the defender clearly had a handful of shirt and was pulling it?”

    There was no foul, just much ado about nothing.

    Please never mention GN ever again. I am waking up in a cold sweat remembering his commentary.

    Yea I clocked that, about time we had a bit of dark side to our game we've always been a bit to nice and I think its cost us points. I like JWPs new no ****s given attitude aswell.
