THE SUPER CLARETS vs Man U - Match Thread

[munkyennui]

This has been troubling me all day.
Their first goal, from the free kick that wasn't a free kick, bounced off Cullen, and given as a goal by the 'goal line technology' sending the signal to the ref that it was over the line. Now normally, in fact, always, they show us the pictures or graphics that show that the ball was in fact over the line. Not today. Not watching the match on TV or in replays or even on Match of the day. It was, in my mind, conspicuous by its absence.
I know, I'm clutching at straws, but it all adds to the feeling of being a little bit cheated today.

I'm abroad currently and watched on a channel called TSN, they showed the ball over the line. It wasn't a graphic but actual footage from above the goal. We needed to make more of the fact that Walker was clean in his challenge.

Is it possible the goal line tech didn't show the graphic because it was an own goal?

It wasn't particularly close though, normally only show that when it's marginal

At the end of the day we played well 2nd half and deserved a win but were robbed by 2 VAR decisions. No way they would have been overturned if it was the other way round. I really do wonder if some offcials are corrupt or the bias towards the big tems is ingrained into them. You could see the disappointment in Parker in his interview, no matter how bad we feel I'm sure it doesn't compare to his disappointment.

Ona positive note I think we've shown we can compete this season and hopefully the points we were cheated (yes cheated) out of yesterday won't cost us at the end of the season.

If it helps, i have seen several replays over here and it was well over the line.

Add the xG for Foster's goal, which was wrongly ruled out, and take away theirs for the penalty, and it evens that up by quite a chunk.
