    What the fuck is Mitrovic thinking?

    Still a decent chance the penalty is missed/saved and they'd be 1-0 with 15 minutes to go.

    He should get a lengthy ban for that tbh.

    The response from Mitro and Silva is baffling. Like you said RL, this isnt over and you are still winning but thats a red and a penalty all day.

    What was Marco Silva seething at? It's the most blatant red card/penalty ever.

    It was pretty aggressive. He also pushed him again even after he'd sent him off which is why I suspect he might be in even hotter water.

    The FA are such flannels that he'll get about five games for that. He should have just chinned him and made it worthwhile.

    A 1-0 defeat to Fulham at the theatre of dreams is good but a mullering by Brighton in a semi is far better. We move.

    I can only assume the Mitrovic one will have some games added on too.

    I remember Di Canio pushing a ref over, but it was a bit worse than this (because the ref fell over pathetically), but also during a completely different era when refs weren't as protected.

    Just checked, and Di Canio got an 11 game ban. Will be interesting to see which way they go.

    Bayern losing again today. Dortmund 1 point ahead now with them playing each other in the next game week. Dortmund will probably roll over for them but at least the league is close for once.

    Just back from Old Trafford. What a way to throw away a game. Absolute minute of chaos.

    I don't blame Silva and Mitro too much though. Kavanagh is a fucking woeful referee who constantly makes mistakes against us and it was the same again today up to that point. So while it was a definite handball and red card, it was boiling point. Real shame as we'd been so dominant, probably our best performance of the season up to that point, Palhinha again magnificent.

    He's woefully incompetent and it shows in a lot of the games we play when he's the referee. And it was obvious again today - the push on Mitrovic inside the first 2 or 3 minutes was as blatant as they come and he's in a great position to see the foul.

    Like I said, the penalty and red were obvious. Just think that's why Silva and Mitro were seething at that moment.

    They're seething because the ref decided to not give the penalty until after VAR got involved?

    I think it's more at the general trend of decisions not going in our favour all game, and VAR only finally getting involved for a Utd penalty decision.

    Silva must have said something too - he went straight to a red card when usually they just give the manager a yellow and tell them to sit down.

    Lol wut. It was a clear red card for deliberately stopping a goal with his hand. Both red cards in response to it were retarded.

    Whilst trying to justify the insane response from players and manager as a reaction to an FA conspiracy against the mighty Fulham FC, yes.

    Apparently Silva kicked/threw a water bottle and it hit the 4th official.

    You can't justify it, I just completely understand why they've lost their rag. It's a cup quarter final at Old Trafford, you're bound to be wound up tight, and even moreso when a number of decisions haven't gone your way. And just because I'm pretty peeved at the officiating yesterday, it doesn't mean I believe there is some sort of conspiracy - we've been the beneficiaries of soft penalty decisions and red cards a few times this season as well.

    Yeah that'll do it. Could have at least have aimed it at Kavanagh.

    I'm not sure what decisions were so bad prior to the goal. It was a nothing game in terms of free kicks.

    The main one is the push from Shaw on Mitro very early on. Blatant foul and the ref is 10 yards away staring straight at it. Not sure about the other penalty shout (Martinez on Mitro), haven't seen a replay so couldn't tell you what happened from the other end of the ground.

    Other than that, it's just the little inconsistencies that build up. Pereira getting booked for his first foul when stopping a counter, Martinez avoiding the yellow for a similar sort of foul. Antony kicking out at Robinson right by the linesman, not a word.

    It is 2 of the worst discplined teams going tbf. Honorable mention to Fulham's Portuguese booking machine but the collection of odious cretins with an attitude problem in red will consistently result in such shitshows.

    I only saw the highlights but there was nothing particularly bad from the ref that I saw.

    This stuff happens all the time. Barely a match goes by where either the Southend fans or the away fans don't start a "you don't know what you're doing" chant, off the back of a few decisions going against them. Even uf the decisions were correct. Which they usually are.

    Martinez on Mitrovic wasn't a penalty and can't really remember the other ones well enough to have an opinion.

    It's not that daft an appointment in the short term. Although I still think Vieira would've kept them up regardless.

    The fact that the odds for them to be relegated are shorter now than they were on Saturday, or a week ago, tells you all you need to know.
