John Moss was looking right at them as well. I think you're lucky to stay on the pitch if you raise your hands on someones face like that.

That was grim stuff.

Mourinho got the point he wanted, made sure with those spurious substitutions after 90 minutes.

Sucks the spirit out of a game.

Has to be the worst Man U 'team', and worst side to finish 2nd in the league, that I can recall. Van Gaal's at least had a methodology however rigid and misfiring it was, and I'm not sure Moyes served up any worse than this... This team has very little by way of quality on show, or team collective, and no real discernible style of play. Not sure how they have managed it, probably says more about the teams finishing below them.

Even in our FA Cup semi final the last 10-15 minutes felt like there was very little football even being played.

Well done to Moss for letting Mourinho waste every second of added time

Drives me absolutely fucking crazy. They did that in the semi-final as well.
Time is supposed to be added on for subs in extra-time. It often is. But sometimes is not.

It HAS to be taken out of referee's hands and taken to a "play has stopped" count down clock as used in Australian Rules or NFL.

There were Man U players 'cramping' from about the 55/60 minute in the cup semi-final. Mourinho knows how to kill opponents spirit and momentum. Always been a stain through all his success.

Optajoe stat ..



The sad thing is sometimes a 0-0 is a hard fought non scoring game but to put out a team to just settle for exactly that is unforgivable. How could fans reconcile with that level of enterprise week after week.

The famous Man United is no more just bore bore.

I see Sky Sports sent out a tweet after Noble and Pogba appeared to make up "what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch". Fuck off with that bollocks, they were tripping over themselves to get Dembele a retrospective ban after the Costa incident. Noble tried to scratch Pogbas face and should've been red carded, retrospective ban please.

3 separate subs in about 2 minutes. Technically legit but disgraceful.

Almost 30 seconds was wasted for Liverpool to make a sub right before Roma won a penalty in stoppage time. No time was added on to make up for it because the ref literally blew as soon as Liverpool kicked off again.

Yep, master of the dark arts.

Jesus. Before this game tonight it was showing a previous match between United and West Ham in Fergie's reign when they had Berbatov, Rooney, Hernandez and such and it made you realise just how different they used to be. Their used to be such a fear factor about them, even when the personal weren't actually that great!

That was another had me screaming at the TV. It's just so arbitrary and open to corruption.

Has to be taken out of Referee's hands.

Salah tried to punch someone the other day and it's been brushed aside...

There is a proposal to make the game two 30 minute halves where the clock stops every time the ball is out of play. That's really the only solution to the problem.

You mean Jon Moss got something wrong?!?!

It’s more of an achievement when he gets something right. ???
