The Premier League Thread

Hmm, funny in some ways, but that head stamp still leaves a sour taste.

 

Wash your mouth out son. (wanting utd to win that match, no way, even if we were both in the bottom three I wouldn't)

 

Any good?

 

I don't support or particularly like Bournemouth , I think they will stay up is all I am saying .

 

I can't understand why the vast majority are assuming the stamp was intentional. There's an enormous element of doubt.

 

No he booked Surman straight away he just forgot to show the red card. One of the officials told him about Surman that's why he sent him off in the end.

 

Another ex Saint academy member speaking really well, Tyrone Mings

 

I'm a simple soul, and I can't understand why someone would do something as horrible as that deliberately, in full view of the referee, linesmen, and millions of TV viewers. Mings himself has just said he didn't mean it, and nor did he see Zlatan elbow him.

 

No I understand that, it was the fact that he spent so long talking to Rooney and Ibrahimovic with no card in sight that I didn't like.

 

Of course Mings would say that. IMO it was a disgusting and cowardly stamp.

 

Hmm...Not much doubt to me. I think he had a big look just before he went into the jump. Plus the previous incident one minute before would make it a very big coincidence.

 

Ibra getting a ban for that, awful stamp from Mings

 

He had obviously forgotten he had booked Surman before. No bias just incompetent refereeing.

 

Doubt he will get banned the referee saw it and "dealt with it" at the time.

 

Yeah but when they review the game they will realise that the ref was ****ing terrible and over rule him.

 

You could be right.....another rule that needs to go.

 

I'm not talking about the Surman thing, I mean the fact that he clearly saw Zlatan elbow Mings, but took no action other than have a cosy chat to him and Rooney. As I said earlier, I know you hate accusations of bias, and I'm not accusing Friend of bias. My point is that referees shouldn't leave themselves open to those accusations by doing things like that. That's even more stupid than his complete inability to referee a game of football.

 

No they won't.

 

Mourinho such a don "I don't want to talk about it, I don't care if Mings gets a 4/5 match ban, but I don't want to talk about it". He is actually making Man Utd likeable, well him and Ibrahimovic

 

I dunno about big look personally, maybe in slow motion but I think it was just a glance really and then he's gone into a big awkward leap over two players with Rooney getting up making it hard for him to set off from his right leg and looked back towards the ball as he takes off. Maybe it's because I didn't catch the game and am just viewing it in isolation, but to me it looks actively difficult for him to do that deliberately so I can only give him the benefit of the doubt.
