Live Match Discussion 2018/19

[Kenny]

Burnley doing a very job for Liverpool so far.

City going for it this half though.

 

[Kenny]

Burnley fans going nuts over City timewasting. Have a word

 

[Jack Regan]

Am I miss-hearing or was the added time announcement sponsored at Burnley?

It was indeed.

The kind of thing we used to do

 

[Jack Regan]

I thought so, in any case a crap match but City do the business.

28 mins in and Lukaku is fucked! Top fitness levels there

(He will now of course score a goal in the 95th minute)

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Even Gary Neville was laughing at the state of Lukaku. He looks badly out of shape.

He's built himself up like a boxer. There's no fat on him, but the muscle is stopping him from being the player he used to be. The notion of him picking the ball up on the half way line and running away from centre halves like he used to do at Albion and Everton is fanciful now.

 

[Kenny]

David De Lonergan at it again and gifts Chelsea a goal

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Ohhh De Gea

Should have held it

 

[Tredman]

Some utterly terrible refereeing in this Utd game.

Yep, recorded the game and just watched it. Refereeing was terrible, almost as bad as the actual football/atmosphere.

Bamford should get a ban for deception of a referee and so should hourihane for this

Villa were pathetic in that incident, totally entitled cobblers and Bielsa was stupid for falling for it. Stopping play is up to the ref.

 

[Banjo]

There are two pieces of context here though: first, Villa had put the ball out earlier in the game for a Leeds injury which the ref didn't stop play for. Second, the Leeds player who put the goalscorer in was clearly just giving Villa the ball back and all of the Villa players stopped. The chap who scored for Leeds is the biggest wanker in all of this in my view. Credit to Bielsa for putting it right.

Agree.

I can't imagine what outrage there'd be if we conceded in that manner.

There's not enough sportsmanship left in the game for my liking but if we let shithousing like that go, the game is dead.

Hadn't seen that punch by Hourihane though - that's cowardly.

Not for me. He got the ball and he was looking for instruction on what to do. You see him look at the ref, nothing happens from him and no Leeds player tells him kick it out of play so he plays the ball to his teammate (plus he would have the crowd in his ear to carry on)

 

[Tony Towner]

That's just not true.

Cowardly yes. Powderpuff yes wanker, yes.

 

[sycophantia]

Didn't see the game so was the Villa player actually injured or just rolling around to break play up?
