Utd v Boro

Pogba back in the fold for Utd, and a fitting tribute to the Busby Babes on the weekend of the 64th anniversary of the Munich air disaster, always a poignant moment in the season.
Utd should win fairly comfortably, but in the cup you can never be totally certain.
Fair does to Middlesbrough they've took 9,000 to OT on a Friday evening.

Utd dominating and they really should be more than 1 ahead.
Shocking pen from Ronaldo, has he been taking lessons from the Cameroon players.

Apparently Boro sold nearly 9,500 tickets in 24 hours. They obviously have a better ticketing system than we have!

I'm staggered that was allowed, and even more that it was allowed at OT for the away team.
Game on now though.

All we ever here from football fans is how the big clubs get the big decisions.
Think again.

I don't care what the rules may or may not be - that should by handball without any doubt. Easy decision watching it in real time - no need for replays.

I had to turn off the commentary as I was in serious danger of throwing up.
The constant reference to how a great team like Manure has silverware winning in their dna was sickening.
They have spent a fortune on some very average players and Ronaldos petulant kicks at Boros keeper should have led to a booking

because it wasn't handball by the rules
They would never give a pen for that if it was a defenders arm it touched
Correct decision

How does the referee not see it? he's stood right next to it.
Now they wanna say accidental handball? 95% of the time it hits the hand it's unintentional unless they believe players are deliberately using their hand...

it looked accidental to me, his hand seemed to be moving away so for me it;s not handball. Plus it's against Man Utd so it should count double

Oh so because it's against United it's handball, alright then, let's play those rules I guess. Same fans will be on here whining about the quality of refereeing

Stuart Attwell but TBH a decision that obvious shouldn't need VAR.
United only themselves to blame if they tumble out, how many clear cut chances are they going to spurn.

If that decision is in accordance with the laws of the game then the laws of the game are wrong. Imagine if that happened against us tomorrow.

Not sure what’s worse - Sam Matterface or that horrendous handball decision. Imagine the reaction on here if that was against Burnley.

Yep! the way our season is going that would be typical.
What should offer us some encouragement is Utd look nervy in defence 2nd half, and this against a Championship team.

You really believe players deliberately handle the ball? Half the time it's smacked at them from 10 centimetres away and handball is given if their arm is up, their arm could be up while they're running/sliding/jumping, that isn't deliberately handling the ball.

If it did, the same people saying the goal should stand tonight, would then be saying that the laws are wrong and it's all a conspiracy to get Burnley relegated.

Yes apparently by the new laws they got the correct decision, last season that would have been disallowed, but not now.

Glad they repealed the old rule: that made handball different for defenders than it was for attackers. Completely wrong-headed.

minimum 4 minutes added time, the ball was in play for like 30 seconds of it and the referee blows bang on 4 minutes. The officiating in this country is killing the game

What the biggest club in the world?
Some of us complain we can't compete but Man U cant.
If you compare to City for example. City have a better manager, a better team, a better ground, better owners and better fans.
