elampiro:You and the author of that piece are both drunk. In the video I watched, at no point did the referee communicate with the goalkeeper for any wrongdoing. He didn’t caution him or give him a yellow card. There was no sign language or any form of communication between the referee and the goalkeeper and yet the referee was booking the players outside the box. Watch the video yourself instead of reading a useless write up that didn’t capture the true event. If you are blind, ask a neighbor to interpret what happened in the video you sent. The goalie wasn’t at fault as far as the referee was concerned otherwise he would have walked to him or signal to him to stop coming off his line. Stop lying. |
elampiro:That’s not true. If they were, the referee would have carded the goalkeeper. He was busy carding the players outside the box. Can a team mate get a yellow card on behalf of a goalkeeper? Why do you lie like this? ![]() |
elampiro:The referee wasn’t even looking at the goalie in all the penalties that were taken. He was looking at the kicker and the encroachment. If the referee thought the keeper was cheating, why was he giving the other players yellow cards instead of the real offender? You people just lie without any shame. ![]() |
elampiro:You don’t even know how to lie. ![]() The referee had the penalty to be retaken because the other players were encroaching the box before the ball was kicked. |
elampiro:Were the keepers not touching the goalpost or rattling the post pre-2019 to distract the kicker? So how is the law easier and how does it align with the ones you used in your secondary school? So you have finally come full circle to admit the laws were changed recently plus there’s now VAR to enforce it? You’re a fraud! |
elampiro:It makes it easier when keepers aren’t allowed to move side to side, touch the goalpost or crossbar or rattle the net? Are you drunk? ![]()
|
elampiro:You are a mega fraud. ![]() What did the second to the last bullet point say? What date did IFAB say they would start enforcing these new rules? Have some shame, boy. ![]()
|
elampiro:The law was in use and plenty of goalkeepers benefitted from cheating in 2018 World Cup? The new laws started in 2019. You are a fraud! ![]()
|
elampiro: elampiro:You people just lie without shame. Who mentioned 2007 here? ![]() The law started with VAR and it was enforced with VAR. Pre-VAR, referee had no opportunity to get a second look if the keeper had cheated unless the keeper made it way too obvious. A law isn’t a law until it’s enforced. Abortion is illegal in Nigeria but an estimated 60,000 abortions are committed every month in Lagos. What you read on paper has no relevance if people are getting away with it. Go and rest. |
Expert17:How many saves did Henderson make in those games? How many did De Gea make at Roma? Is de Gea responsible for shots conceded? Is it his fault that the idiots in front of him concede shots? Henderson would have knocked United out at the semis. ![]()
|
elampiro:It makes no sense if it’s not enforced. You lied earlier that enforcing the law started around 2007. ![]() This was 2018. Where was Collina at the World Cup? Was he blind?
|
elampiro:A law isn’t a law if it’s not enforced. Forget what is written on paper. The issue is if you can get away with it. GKs in the past got away with it. With VAR, you won’t get away with it. |
elampiro:And I am telling you now that those mistakes from officials have been cut off. If a goalie tries to game the system now, he gets a yellow card. Another attempt and it’s a red card. So penalties are so much difficult to save now than pre-2019. |
This was also Kjaer’s penalty kick at the same World Cup against Subasic. Where was your secondary school law to punish these goalies for cheating? ; ![]() You people argue based on what’s on paper.
|
elampiro:If it’s not a new law, how did goalkeepers cheat at 2018 World Cup? Do you even watch football to be disputing a well known fact? This was Kasper Schmeichel when he saved Pivaric’s kick at 2018 World Cup. Where was your law to penalize Schmeichel?
|
Expert17:United wouldn’t even have made the final had Henderson kept at Roma. De Gea made about 8 instinctive saves Henderson would have bottled. It would have been epic losing a tie with 6-2 advantage in the first leg. |
elampiro:That’s not true. GKs we’re still doing it until VAR was introduced. The introduction of VAR introduced the law that at least one foot must be on the white line until the ball is kicked. |
Expert17:He’s not better than De Gea at anything apart from rushing out of his lines to pretend to claim the ball. Even that attribute is questionable as he has also conceded goals where he ought to have rushed out to claim the ball. |
elampiro:I wonder how he couldn’t save United from conceding 3 goals against Sheffield United(relegated team) at Old Trafford. This was Dudek against Pirlo in 2005. Dudek was off his line completely before Pirlo even kicked the ball and Dudek saved. No officials spotted it.
|
elampiro:It is quite new. Long before this season, GK’s were able to game the system because there was no VAR to check if the keeper came out of his line or not. Until last season where every pen gets reviewed to see whether GK gained an advantage via cheating. Liverpool couldn’t have won the 2005 CL final with the nonsense Dudek was doing in Istanbul. He cheated over and over and got away with it. |
elampiro:It would be a totally different game if Henderson was in goal. Little details like speeding to start attacks after catching a ball and giving the ball away can create chances for opponents. You are putting the blame on the wrong person. Your world class manager took out Greenwood to bring on Fred while searching for a goal - De Gea’s fault. Your world class manager made no changes in normal time to try and win the game. Emery made his first change in the 60th minute - De Gea’s fault. Villarreal have the budget of Crystal Palace and yet Ole couldn’t find a solution to break down their low block - De Gea’s fault. You people deserve Ole. ![]() |
Expert17:It’s irrelevant if we don’t know the quality of the opposition faced by both De Gea and Henderson. Expert17:That was because of how poor Shaw & Fred’s kicks were. The Villareal players were better at taking penalties than United players. I guess that was De Gea’s fault too. ![]() Expert17:De Gea’s hand touched about 3. Expert17:Henderson is a bum. He’s not better than De Gea at anything. At 24, De Gea had won the PL and Europa/SuperCup at Atletico. De Gea had graced the PFA team of the year at 24. Henderson hasn’t achieved anything close. He’s a bum who has no quality to even become United’s number one even if De Gea leaves. Henderson is a 2nd goalkeeper at best. If De Gea decides to leave, United still need a #1 goalkeeper. Oblak or Donnarumma should be pursued instead of Henderson. We all saw how useless Henderson was against Liverpool. ![]() |
Karleb:I think he deserves another season. Olesexuals haven’t learnt any lesson yet. Half of them are still convinced he’s the man for the job. So let’s go again and see what this guy has to offer once more. ![]() |
Expert17:Henderson conceded against Wolves(weak attack). Henderson conceded 3 goals at OT against Sheffield United who had relegated as early as December last year. Expert17:Centrally to his left or to his right? The instruction did not say. Go and stand in goal before criticizing. Villareal’s keeper followed instructions and conceded 10 goals too. Penalties are too difficult to save with the new rules. The taker has to be very very poor for any goalkeeper to have a chance. Henderson in goal wouldn’t have won the game for United last night. United were losing either way because the manager is useless. |
elampiro:Henderson is a bum. United would have lost at normal time if he had been in goal. Saving penalties isn’t easy anymore with goalkeepers being forced to stay on the line until the ball is kicked. The taker has to be very poor for a goalie to have a chance. The Villarreal keeper didn’t save any too apart from De Gea’s kick. De Gea should never have been put in that position - he’s a goalkeeper, not a penalty taker. If Ole had done the needful, he would have brought on VDB, Mata, Amad at the 60th minute to try and win the game. Ole deserved to lose. Stop putting the blame on De Gea. |
hoopLA:But his fans see progress. Let’s examine the ‘progress’. ![]() Progress Under Ole: 5/7 Quarter-Finals 1/5 Semi-Finals 0/1 Finals 0/1 UCL group stage qualifications Prem Finishes: 6th (66pts, 32 off the top) 3rd (66pts, 33 off the top) 2nd (74pts, 12 off the top) In any organization, Ole would have received his P45 like 12 months ago. He personifies the word failure. After spending close to £300m, 0 trophies in 3 years? ![]() This club is a joke. |
hoopLA:Mourinho won this in 2017 without any tension. At no point in that final did anyone think Ajax would score a goal. It was a Mourinho masterclass. It wasn’t supposed to be easy. Jose had plenty of challenges going into that final. This was what Mourinho had to deal with to win it in 2017. Close to half of the starting XI were on crutches.
|
hoopLA:A grown up with zero brain cells. |
hoopLA:Mourinho’s legacy lives on. ![]()
|
Chelsea fans trolling United fans, your own final is coming soon. You better not lose that final. ![]() The trolling will be epic. |
weedtaker:They have not realized how bad it is to have just 2 shots on target(61% possession) in 120 minutes against Villarreal. Mourinho parked the bus in 2017 final against Ajax and he managed 4 shots on target in 90 mins, 30% possession. ![]() |
hoopLA:Just take my life with ricin. ![]() I can’t take this anymore. ![]() |
