Handball clearly

This is actually beyond belief.

Only Brighton can blame themselves really.

Undeserved victory for United. But my bet is still on for them to win the league. Only another 36 games to go

Spot on.. just as I predicted, Brighton are a decent hard working side, they surprised me a bit when they played us 

Anyway, all this is proving is that without penalties to carry you over the line each game you lot are bang average...

Fair enough, that's a penalty, but surely there's a rule that you can't give a penalty after the final whistle? The match ended!

[Bluewolf]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!! 

Flashscore had it down as finished at 2-2 

That will teach me...

Need to make a new "well that didn't age well" thread out of the last 10ish posts.

[Bluewolf]

But also... you needed a penalty to save your arses.... 

[Redcanuck]

What can you say.  Quite embarrassing to be a United fan today.  Out played totally, Brighton extremely unlucky.  Every United fan shoukd go out and buy a lottery ticket today.

That penalty was legit though, what the Brughton player was thinking only heaven knows.

Lamptey is going to turn into a winger eventually

It's a down payment. The league will repay you. With compound interest.

Chris Beniot once beat The Rock at Fully Loaded 2000 but Mick Foley restarted the match because there was some cheating. So there is a precedent there...

I saw a utd pen in the 99th minute. Is it as predictably farcical as I assume? Am I hearing right that a penalty was awarded AFTER the final whistle? Was the full time blown for before Maupay handballed it? If it was then fuck me that’s new levels of cheating.

This is what I could gather from TalkSPORT. Shame I couldn't watch the game. United were extremely poor and deserved to lose in all honesty.

I think the main controversy is whether or not you can blow the full time whistle and then change your mind. Justice was done if it was a definite penalty. But there's enough mad rules in football like you can't appeal a second yellow card that resulted in a red that it feels like blowing the final whistle might override VAR but clearly not.

[Rick]

I’m sorry, but after the final whistle he handled it?? Wow.  

[The Artful Dodger]

Fella on the radio kept talking about how unlucky Brighton were because they hit the post 5 times. Is it just me or is that not luck but bad finishing? It sounds like Brighton should have got something from the game but the fact they didn’t is their own fault and not some outside force.

The main controversy is if he blew the whistle, then Maupay handled it. The game is over, the play doesn’t matter. Can’t set that precedent. 
 

I need that point cleared up because I have a really big problem if it’s played out like that.

No, he handled the ball in the last minute, referee didn't see it, the ball was cleared and the referee blew for full time. Then VAR reviewed the incident and said it was handball and the referee "rescinded" the full time whistle, awarded the penalty, and Man Utd scored it.

Ahhhh that makes much more sense. I have no issue with that then. If it’s a clear handball then it’s fair enough. Brighton can only blame themselves.

Why so much added time for this game?  10 minutes??

Genuinely though, no idea. I’m gutted if I’m honest. Just let’s these bunch of dicks on the field and behind the scenes off the hook for another week.
