"don't think the contact was before the shot was made" was hoddle's reason it wasn't a pen! At least he had the good grace to get quieter until it was nearly a mumble by the end. Utter b******s
That game was something that never seemed to happen to them - missed penno, handball goal given against them, loads of missed chances, including the woodwork and then losing on pens. They really are living us in the 90s and it's lovely to see
Plus I think he really could have reached the ball. It wasn't exactly going quickly. Dunno if he could have done anything with it, but again, doesn't matter
Man U's first goal - is the rule about the ball moving the circumference of itself or whatever it is from a free kick not applicable anymore? It was basically nudged to him
I, also, know nothing about tactical chat, but is it not 442, with 2 defensive midfielders and 2 wide? They're not all lined up behind each other surely.
Everyone* is repeating that the game was called off cos we had 3 players test positive. It's as if they're wilfully ignoring the reports about all the f***ing others.
Football twitter is exhausting.
