Changed my mind after 2 more replays. I think it is more 80% pen than 50/50. Mcquire very lucky to escape dramatic headlines in tomorrow’s paper.

You have just qualified to be a VAR official. Please report to Manchester.

Yip, I say penalty because Chelsea player was off the ground. I would think differently if he didn’t attempt to jump at all.

Exactly. That’s what I didn’t notice the first time I saw it. He could have reached the ball in theory and maybe in practice without Blockhead’s intervention.
Very good.

Arms over the shoulder preventing him from jumping is a penalty all day long normally.
Yeah, but when I initially saw it, it looked to me like he just dropped like a sack in Blockheads arms, so I figured it was maybe not enough and a 50/50. But like I said, when I saw it again I noticed that he made it impossible for him to jump.
Given what happened in our last game we should not be surprised.
VAR should have notified the ref for sure.
If I were to bet on this game, I would probably bet on Manchester edging this. The have looked slightly more dangerous (penalty shout aside) on their counters, as the new Chelsea keeper has made quite good saves…
But it’s still close to 50/50 this. May actually end 0-0. Would like to see a couple of goals ideally though. 2-2 would be nice.
Of course, Blockhead may overcharge his delicate brain and get a red card or something. Ever since his Hellas incident (he should probably have served a small sentence tbh) , he has been shaky.
Lamps and OGS fighting for scraps. A nil-nil brings so much joy to my heart when midgets match up in the ring:
Was a stonewall penalty. Basically had him in a headlock. Another poor moment for VAR.

Pretty nice touch that by Cavani. I am curious as to how he will do. He is getting old, but he has of course some very real skills.
Very close from Chelsea there.
Game has improved when it comes to entertainment.
Much higher tempo now. It’s actually fun to watch now.
Man UNited?

Can’t remember to have seen that abbreviation before. Just seems a bit out of place if you know what I mean.
Let’s cancel this drab and start ours.
