Tired.

I had been thinking “Tierney on the right isn’t working, he wants to check onto his left foot every time.” But what do I know? Exactly what Steve Clarke had planned, I’m sure #bbcfootball


All this talk of eye lines, etc., but come on - how can you be stood in an offside position, right in the middle of the six yard box, have the ball go directly over your head on it’s way into the net, and not be an active player? Quite right to rule it out #bbcfootball


Reckon that might be justice. We saw no penalty and a booking for simulation in the Brentford game with arguably more contact. #bbcfootball


Some fans/media wanted United to be dominating every week and challenging for the title this year. That was never realistic, but the team now shows character and grit. There’s no doubt that last season Forest game and today would have ended in defeat. Progress. #bbcfootball


Sesko was looking a step slow (which know he’s not) since the moment he came on the field. Was he carrying something coming into the game? #bbcfootball


File that under “it’s a foul anywhere else on the field”. I wouldn’t call it malicious, but he’s definitely swung his elbow into Igor Thiago’s head #bbcfootball


If Minteh’s touch is better maybe that’s a red, but it was heavy and the ball was already in Lammens’ hands by the time he went down #bbcfootball


Looking forward to @FA_PGMOL twisting themselves into a pretzel to explain how that wasn’t a penalty #bbcfootball


United should be taking Bruno off. He’s been so loose in possession today, in a game where keeping the ball was so key. #bbcfootball


Spending $7m to let everyone know you’re a giant racist seems a bit steep.

Hume should be getting a yellow for simulation. He’s gone down holding his face with zero contact. #bbcfootball


That’s genuinely embarrassing from Gabriel. Whatever he may say publicly after the game, I imagine Arteta is livid with him right now #bbcfootball


I don’t see how that’s not still a foul. It’s the lightest of touches on the ball by the last line of defence, and Gyokeres is still likely to run onto the ball if he isn’t tripped. #bbcfootball


The first one is not a penalty, and King is rightly booked. I don’t know how the second one isn’t - the ball is past Cash save for his arm, which clearly blocks a goal bound shot and is away from his body. Why wouldn’t that be given? #bbcfootball


The officials do themselves no favours. Justice done with Brighton now scoring, but how can a professional referee look at that and say it’s not a high boot from Gusto? Anywhere else on the field it’s a foul. Every week we’re taking about these incidents #bbcfootball


They don’t let people reply because anyone with eyes can see through the nonsense spin. These referees are paid to do this job and they can’t get it right on the field or with the benefit of replay, and then the official twitter account lies to protect them. Shambles.

#BREMUN – 71’ The referee’s call of penalty was checked and confirmed by VAR – with Collins deemed to pulled Mbeumo back. VAR also checked the referee’s call of yellow card to Collins - and deemed that Mbeumo wasn’t in control of the ball.



When the chips are down, it feels like nothing goes your way. With 20mins to go, a decent pen from Bruno & correct enforcing of the rules and it’s 2-2 against 10 men. As it is, another defeat, with yet more goals conceded that should be avoidable for seasoned pros #bbcfootball


Powerful strike, but that is horrendous goalkeeping. Straight down the middle and he doesn’t get close to it. #bbcfootball


Is that not a red card? Deliberate denial of a goal scoring opportunity? He hasn’t made any attempt for the ball #bbcfootball


He’s only got a split second to react, but if Bayindir leaves that the danger is gone. As it is he parries it straight to the only Brentford player in the danger area. #bbcfootball
