Just 2 months after signing him Schalke not only fires their coach but also their sporting director and 2 guys close to the sporting director.

Apparently it took only 2 months for Christian Gross to lose the dressing room in a big way.

I've never witnessed a bigger shitshow in football than Schalke the last 1,5 years.

Arsenal starting without Saka is a bigger surprise than Lacazette starting ahead of Auba. Has anyone else got a realistic claim at Arsenal's player of the season than Saka? The boy has been phenomenal.

Lille losing at half time at Strasbourg.

Chelsea look better than united but both front threes are ineffective so far

That did look like the type of situation that normally results in a penalty. Not totally outrageous, but I was leaning more towards than against.

For me was justice for the freekick that never was, Mount gets to the ball first, his foot is lower than McTominays and then Mount gets taken out fully and is penalized for a foul??? Baffling. Handball has been given before but was super weird one and the handball laws are nuts right now but like i said for me was justice for the freekick which never was.

Yeah. I don't know what the exact rule is this week, but it seemed like an avoidable one. Nothing malicious, but kind of careless and avoidable.

Completely agree. Must be a strange feeling for United to not receive a pen, they've had an extraordinary run of suspect ones given in the past year

thats some seriously blue tinted glasses you and pande got on. mount doesnt even touch the ball lol, and his studs are facing towards mctominay. mctominay actually gets the ball. dunno how its "justice" when the freekick was completely deserved, not to mention the fact that the penalty was checked by 2 officials in slow motion. the decision was a joke.

How is the free kick deserved? Mount doesn't clip McTominay, all the contact comes from McTominay and at shoulder height, nowhere near the ball. Studs can face whichever way you like if there is no contact whatsoever.

How is the penalty deserved? Completely accidental and it hits Greenwood's arm as well.

two players collide in a 50/50 but one actually gets the ball and the other whiffs? when is that ever not a foul against the guy who doesnt get the ball? what are you even watching.

how is it not a penalty? hudson odoi runs towards the ball with his arms pretty much by his side, the ball bounces and as hudson odoi brakes he raises his arm to pretty much fist bump the ball. whether or not greenwood handled the ball after is irrelevant, the first handball comes from hudson odoi in a head height position. even if you wanted to make the case that greenwood handled the ball after, the ball's trajectory changes and the ball drops onto greenwoods arm. greenwoods handball is far more accidental than hudson odoi, who is literally approaching the ball in full vision and raises his hand up to his head height to touch the ball. even by the "old" handball rules this one doesnt pass. it wasnt unavoidable and it was above shoulder height.

keep in mind the game was already in play with united in possession when the check was called. obviously the var ref thought it was a pen. if the conversation between maguire and the ref is true then the ref also thought it was a pen, he was just too corrupt to call it. you have to be biased as fuck to think theres any doubt in that pen call

So whiffing is a guaranteed foul. Got it.

Arm was in an expected position given the player's action. He's warding off Greenwood. Tick.
Arm clearly used for balance or protection less likely to be penalized. Greenwood is running straight toward him. Tick.
Arm may be outside the player's bodyline and not penalized. Tick.
Clear and obvious error? Based on the guidelines, there is plenty of doubt. So no.

The ref doesn't think it's clear or obvious, so he doesn't overturn. It would be hugely controversial to do so. Far more than sticking with his original decision. He says that to Maguire. So what?

Not awarding a pen to United is corruption and bias apparently

yeah way to ignore the most important part of what made it a foul against mount. he ran into mctominay but failed to even touch the ball in a 50/50 chance.

how is raising your hand up to your head height an "expected position"? how is he warding off greenwood? does he intend to palm greenwoods face?
how is the arm "clearly used for balance or protection" if hes "warding off greenwood?" which is it? and why do any of these points matter when the hand is above shoulder height and he has handled a ball he has full vision of with plenty of time to react?
"arm may be outside the players bodyline". so youre admitting that hudson odoi made himself bigger? all the more reason the pen should have been awarded. no idea what point youre even trying to make here

the bolded part is hilarious. thats exactly whats wrong with the entire pen call and the fact that you dont comprehend this says it all. if the ref called the pen it would have been hugely controversial and the ref knew it. he let his decisions be swayed by external factors rather than just sticking to the rules of the game. if var tells you theres a potential penalty way after the incident happened then there isnt much doubt. the delusion is strong with you rofl
