The Rolling Football Thread: season 2024/25

[DuncinToffee]

Football fans join in to share the joy, the heartache and VAR frustration ⚽

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.”

Looks like VVD played everybody on

Why TF did it take so long? You can only assume that VAR are desperately trying to find a way to disallow it!

Good thing the boots are blue

I agree I could see VVD’s boot a mile off when it came on the screen!

At least the match is interesting. Blue shoe.

Spurs were awful. Really bad.

Well, that was annoying. Blatant corner right at the end.

I'm more worried about even more injuries. Our defence is somewhat decimated now. Salah probably wouldn't have got that goal with our first choice defence.

Premier League VAR official with Fantasy Premier League open on his phone.

Yeah, totally unbiased...

I saw that being tweeted after the West Ham Man U game

I can’t believe the corner wasn’t given at the end.

I also think VAR is generally a total farce!! 😡

And I'm not even going to mention the blatant penalty, nor van Dyke kicking Havertz, twice, but VAR seemingly asleep at the time, because we've come to expect to be refereed differently...

Stunning insight from Dermot Gallagher here;

Erik ten Hag has been sacked

Just seen that. Doesn’t surprise me but to be honest I can’t see United ever being more than a mid table team now the Fergie era is over.

I'm surprised it took them so long.

Not that I wasn't enjoying it...

Likewise.

Jim Ratcliffe states there is ‘something wrong with the environment at the club’

He wants United to be competing in the Champions League again and knocking City and Liverpool off their perch in the next 2-3 seasons… achievable? 🤔🤔 I think it’s highly unlikely.

He needs to get rid of the Glazers first 😡

Perhaps the Glazers is what’s ‘wrong with the environment at the club’ !!

They are definitely part of it.
I have a long list of things I see as part of the problem. I'm even more deflated this morning, I personally don't think this is the right decision, but maybe I'm just an old sentimental fool this morning 😂
On another rollercoaster journey we go 🤦🏻‍♀️

Same here

Yamal is a fantastic talent, but Ballon d'Or?

No.

Wait until he calls out racism. Then he won't stand a chance...

He won the best young footballer, Kopa Throphy

Not surprised at Ten Hag being sacked.

Ah, twitter was reporting it as the Ballon d'Or. That makes more sense.

I still stand by my other comment...
