This is delicious.

Refs really trying to make up for the Fergie years this season. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Rashford red card is unlucky as he's only trying to protect the ball but when you catch a player like that then it has to be a red card 

 

Whilst I always take pleasure when Man-U lose, part of me fears for the abuse the poor lad will get if they do

Watching Man Utd - Galatasaray Copenhagen - Man Utd for the possibility of hilarity. 

 

 

Just got to turn this on.  Decent start, lets hope the second half delivers

Disgraceful red card, only just seen it now. No way Rashford ever means to do him

VAR is certainly doing it's best.

Way of the game now like. Gonna be more and more. Slow motion replays make them look far worse as well

Rashford might be shit, but he isn't dirty at all. It wasn't even overly high. A complete accident with no intent. It's a shocking decision. 

[Pokerprince2004]

Just seen the red card. Very harsh that on Rashford I think. Will make for an amusing second half though 

[gbandit]

There’s a difference between being late like Bruno was last season on the ankle, and getting a red and Rashford there who was just incredibly unlucky with putting his foot down while not even looking at the guy and not going in at pace

Clear red.

That Maguire hand ball  The famous Reds are like watching Laurel and Hardy

Intent doesn’t matter if the tackle is dangerous.

Intent is irrelevant if the outcome is dangerous, which it was

In this game, yeah.

 

He’s been doing a pretty good job of it the rest of the time.

[gbandit]

But it wasn’t a tackle, it wasn’t a late challenge, that’s the difference here. If he makes that contact in a tackle or being late on someone, even accidentally, it’s a red. If you do that while not even looking at the player and just planting your foot while trying to shield the ball it’s a yellow unless he does it with a stupid amount of force. There wasn’t anything unnatural about what he did 

[Shadow Puppets]

Taking my hatred of Man Utd out of it, that’s a ridiculously unlucky red card like.

Of course intent matters. He’s protecting the ball, the other player puts his leg exactly where he’s about to stand. How is that Rashford’s fault?

 

Why isn’t it the Copenhagen players fault?

In a lot of games. We've had 6 or 7 bad ones go against us this season.

He plants his foot very wide and therefore that's a risk

 

I do think he's unlucky but end result is dangerous 

 

For me it's a clear red card

[soyt]

So we are going with the "Not that kind of a player" -line on that one? I think it was 100% red, unlucky or not.

[DahnSahf]

His foot was coming down a long, long way from the ball, like. Stepped way over it. No need for that just to shield the ball.

You been up to anything nice in Egypt?

[STM]

It's a red card like but I agree it probably wasn't intentional.

 

It's however part of Man Uniteds DNA now that they try and shoot themselves in the foot. Feels like every game is either a red card, hand ball or a goalkeeper howler.
