The Scum

[outwoodclaret]

I will probably watch Man Utd at Grimsby this evening (on ITV & Sky Sports). See if it gives any clues to their lineup on Saturday.

Too true Ashy,the ending to the Panthers v Raiders game was something else. Cleary was gobsmacked. 😁
Warriors played better today,about time too.

Here's the highlights for Sinky and BT ,make sure you watch the golden point time. Lol

Me and my mate sinkov would rather watch paint dry.

Well Bt, you should do well this year because you will be watching Premier League football and that is like watching paint dry with sideways and backward passing and the ball hardly being in play a la Newcastle v Liverpool game. Never mind, it isn't expensive these days. Enjoy.

Well done Grimsby Town. Won 12- 11 on penalties against the Scum.

It shouldn’t really have gone to penalties. Grimsby had a goal disallowed for offside that would have made it 3-0 but Maguire had taken a deliberate touch that played the attacker onside. Again Manchester United get the critical decisions in their favour whether VAR or no VAR. Same this Saturday?

I fear there will be a reaction on Saturday. I hope our lot are up for it.

Correctly disallowed for offside and with no VAR interference. He was offside when the ball was originally played, proper Laws of football used as per Bill Shankly's observations.
Had VAR been present I regret to say that Grimsby's second goal, when Onana made an abomination trying to punch the ball, would have been disallowed for handball by a Grimsby player which would have been very subjective ------but we know how VAR works for the 'glamour clubs'

INterestingly, the referees' forum which I use was very divided about the offside decision and a lot of these are still active in the upper levels of the game! What chance does a fan have? Indeed, what chance does any official have these days? They have messes about with TLOG so much that everyone is confused.

I thought United were unlucky in the shoot-out. THREE times Onana got a hand to the ball, but all three still ended up in the onion bag. It could have been all so different.

It certainly could but ..........it wasn't

Although I thought they were unlucky Sub, I'm not saying I felt sorry for them, it was more like 'Oh, what a shame'.

Oh! Que pena!

If United lose on Saturday it could be the end for their manager. I had the feeling from his body language at Grimsby, and his post match interview that he has lost the dressing room and the plot 😳

The time is ripe to pick the Reds off. Let's do it!
