United's penalty

Comment Deleted by Site Moderator

To be fair, we`ve seen plenty of far far softer penalties given to Liverpool

personally don't think it was a pen, and don't see how anyone could have the opinion that it was a pen....

its gone the other way, as someone has said .... defenders used to get away with murder, now they cant get away with stuff even when its nothing wrong

I got a new phone and the other day i received a Google Maps summary....i clicked on it and i could select every day in the last month and it showed me where i had been delete delete delete!

Not that i have anything to hide

VAR is like '1984' on a football pitch

Big brother is watching you

I was going to post something similar you took the words right out my mouth. If you see something suspicious say something. Sick society today. Granted, the game ain't overrun by hooligans but we will never go back to the glory days of genuine free-flowing footie. Football today (the masses) is used as tool for social engineering. All by design.
Ironically we won the UEFA Cup in 1984.

Where abouts on Green Lanes did you grow up? Did you go to school near ?

I live on a road off Green lanes now in Bounds Green

You can always turn your phone off, power it down, leave it at home.
You have options!

Or throw it out the window. I paid an arm and a leg for this Samsung Galaxy S8 and I can't even disable Google Play Services. Been with Samsung for the past 8 years, always honoring my contract, started with the S2, then Note 2, Note 4, Note 7 (recalled) and now this thing. Never again! It has Finger Print Reader, IRIS Scanner, Facial Recognition, Heart Rate Sensor, Oxygen Saturation Monitor, even tells me how many Foot Steps I've taken on any given day. Way too intrusive, it's scary! Seriously, It's all headed, excuse the pun, to an end game that doesn't look pretty. Football, along with the media, is the perfect stage "to get the message across". Be aware, smell the coffee. With talk of this new 5G technology on the horizon a tin foil hat might actually be of use after all. The irony.

I well understand your "big brother is watching you feeling".
Amazing how another Englishman, in another generation ,foresaw such things in "1984". even Steve Jobs didn't foresee how his iPhone would be used - he did not trust app builders! For him, it was going to be a smart phone, a phone, that was all!
I have an app that tells me how high I climb when I go hiking.
But you can fool these things!
Donald Trump is not all wrong when he talks about "Fake News". Just that it doesn't necessarily apply only to him!

So don't worry too much ....unless of course you're cheating on your wife!

what strikes me is why would a player turn his back? To get out of the way of the ball to protect himself. Equally, if you’re trying to protect yourself from the ball, why would you jump i.e. making yourself a bigger target to get hit. Thus really, he jumped to block the shot, made himself bigger and blocked it with his arm so a penalty.

I don't think that's true. Using your arms to protect yourself is a natural defence mechanism. I don't think "make myself smaller" is an instinctive response to something, but "protect myself with my arms" is.
