Surely that's a second booking for casemiro.

[HahaYeah]

Casemiro thought he was off then.

[ClaretTony]

I'd have Rob Edwards all day, just saying.

Watford didn’t.

[ClaretTony]

Surely that's a second booking for casemiro.

Would have been had he been playing for Luton

[aclaretinstevenage]

Surely that's a second booking for casemiro.

It would have been if he was wearing a White shirt today!

[RetroClaret]

Should have been a second yellow

[HahaYeah]

Macguire like Frankenstiens monster there.

[warksclaret]

Carlton Morris £1.3m; Ogbene free transfer; Adebayo (I suspect peanuts). Would you not love them in our team

[taio]

Just book Rashford

[HahaYeah]

That was pathetic from Rashford.

[aclaretinstevenage]

WTF Rashford, Embarrassing!

[Buxtonclaret]

What a chance!

[Stayingup]

Carlton Morris £1.3m; Ogbene free transfer; Adebayo (I suspect peanuts). Would you not love them in our team

And Ross Barkley?

[CoolClaret]

Watford didn’t.

Parallels with Sean quite a bit; very similar playing profiles, similar ages/results when prematurely potted by Watford... Both went on to win promotion with their next club.

[kentonclaret]

I enjoy watching games involving Man Utd in 2024 usually plenty of goals and attacking football. Luton reacting brilliantly making it end to end football.
More goals in 2nd half hopefully.

[Buxtonclaret]

Have to admire Luton.
Really having a go.

[RetroClaret]

Good match this

[Taffy on the wing]

Lokonga also looks good.....Morris though is a proper handful....(Barnes)

Shout out to David Coote for being the most feckless Ref ever.........every game he refs descends into chaos.

[Vegas Claret]

Surely that's a second booking for casemiro.

that's the problem with modern day football and why so many people are turned off by it. It's a nothing challenge, it's just a simple foul and yet everyone is screaming for a red card !

It's a physical sport and I genuinely don't know anyone who doesn't like to see players challenging and battling - it's been the number criticism of our performance yesterday.

[kentonclaret]

Adebayo £250k signing from Walsall.

[warksclaret]

And Ross Barkley?

Definitely AND Doughty another one for peanuts I believe

But every other simple foul gets a booking.

[warksclaret]

HI KENTON

Wow £250k for Morris !!. I reckon we could have bought him from Alan Pace's petty cash

[kentonclaret]

HI WARKSCLARET

Adebayo was £250k

Morris cost around £1.3 million from Rotherham (I believe)

[CrosspoolClarets]

Got to feel for Luton having watched the Casemiro one at half time after just turning it on.

The Nottingham ref Coote didn’t do them any favours, just like the ref from Luton didn’t help Sheff Utd earlier with a couple of odd decisions (not the red card).

Very naive to think these things don’t subconsciously make a big difference. I’m 100% certain Luton will drop, heroically.

[Buxtonclaret]

Outstanding defence then by Luton.

Think you’re right - but at least they’ll go down fighting

[HahaYeah]

Well timed leg out from Lokonga, there.

[Vegas Claret]

But every other simple foul gets a booking.

yep, that's the problem with it. Soft as ****. His first yellow just isn't a yellow, Luton player dives. He goes through the back of Morris and doesn't get booked and that was a clear booking. Refs just make it up as they go along but every foul doesn't warrant a booking.

It was Attwell at Bramall Lane. He’s from Nuneaton.

[Burnley Ace]

Garnacho!!

[Burnley Ace]

Desperate defence.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Impressed by the midfield combination of Barkley and Lokonga. Is Lokonga on loan or have they bought him?

[Vegas Claret]

anyone else not seeing the fuss about Garnacho ?

[HahaYeah]

Garnacho!!

Bless you.

[Vegas Claret]

loan

[CrosspoolClarets]

It was Attwell at Bramall Lane. He’s from Nuneaton.

My mistake but the point stands, he is a Luton fan, much ridiculed for giving that “ghost goal” against their rivals Watford in the past. The number of mistakes he has made this season against Luton’s relegation rivals is very high, not least us, and I’m certain subconscious bias plays a part (as does Chris Wilder, who has mentioned it more than once).

The PGMOL should factor this into appointments, but don’t, which just adds to the uphill battle us small clubs face.

[taio]

He's already a really good player and at only 19 will only get even better

[ClaretTony]

We were linked with him all last summer and then he went to Luton on loan. He’d played for Kompany at Anderlecht.

[Mark the Claret]

I agree.

[Burnley Ace]

Mainoo - not even a foul, never mind a yellow

[ElectroClaret]

anyone else not seeing the fuss about Garnacho ?

Well, the one he belted in at Everton will probably turn out to be GOTS.

So he can sure hit a ball.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Luton have added some real quality, and are a better side than they were last year. They have maintained their spine, and with that the identity of the team.

[taio]

Mainoo booked for a perfect challenge

[HahaYeah]

Man U putting the squeeze on them now.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Good game, but contender for least consistent refereeing performance of the season.

[Burnley Ace]

How many more chances are Utd going to squander? With Luton’s luck they’ll get a 96 min equaliser!!

[Goody1975]

The first yellow is a stone wall booking don't be fooled by him trying to pull his leg back, he knows exactly what he's doing.

The second yellow is softish but not by today's standards, he's very lucky to be on at half time.

[CFS]

anyone else not seeing the fuss about Garnacho ?

What you expecting from a 19yr old kid may i ask?

[IanMcL]

Luton playing like they mean it.
Wrll done them. Left us behind as a team.
