Agree with this, if refs gave more fouls where players do not fall down, then diving wouldn't even be needed by players.

Ref's need to give the more subtle fouls, that's the issue with football, honesty gets you no where.

What you also have to remember is that refereeing is tough, it's easy for us to look at 10 different replays at different speeds and angles and say a ref got it wrong. Ref's don't have that advantage.

As I'm typing this Sky are reviewing the Hernandez goal, clear offside but Cech is blocking the linesman view of where Hernandez is and makes it tough for him to decide.

Isn't he also saying that the first one was a straight red? Not watching it but that's what I am reading.

Yep. Asking refs to handle the issue of diving themselves is only compounding the problem.

Video technology needs to be implemented throughout the game. Just give every goal and potential red a quick look over. You'll reach a decision before players would stop celebrating the goal and before they stopped hounding the ref about the card. No time wasted.

We need to import our refs from Asia

Also, why the hell were they booing Rio? They did it in February too..

There isnt a good excuse for that to happen but I blame Hernandez the little cunt for winding up the Chelsea fans Being a cunt right infrount of them and infact going out of his way to make sure he wound them up. Absolute cock sucker.

**three3-times** · 10-29-2012

like chelski havent had loads of bullshit decisons against us before and torres shouldve been sent off for axe kicking clevz

Funny when Chelsea are involved in a game were decisions don't go in their favour, yet another refereeing career could be finished. No doubt they will want Clattenburg sacked, if the allegations are true, and rightly so.

Remember, they set a precedent when they sacked JT for doing the same thing. Oh, know wait you can't sack a multi millionaire prima donna.

**manutdfan** · 10-30-2012

I wouldn't blame Javier Hernandez he's not that type of guy, it was the morons in the crowd.

Torres should of been sent off in first half for dangerous play he could of broken Cleverley's arm!!

Was a fair result in the end.

**Tutankhamun** · 10-30-2012

Yeah. The Chelsea fans we're throwing objects at the United players after the goal. No wonder the players wanted to stick it to them.

**dc89** · 10-31-2012

Pogba scored the winner for Juventus tonight. Also provided the assist for their first goal. Why Fergie, WHY?

**manutdfan** · 10-31-2012

Negative! Why Pogba, WHY?

**santinomarella** · 10-31-2012

Ah, we were unlucky tonight. Chelsea's first team just beat our backup and youth players, proud of the kids tonight!

I hope people aren't critical of Wootton, him and Keane at the back up against Hazard, Mata and Oscar will be a tough test for the best defences in Europe.

Couldn't care less about Pogba, we got Powell who is showing great promise.

**Tutankhamun** · 10-31-2012

It's a tough lesson for the kids but an important one. They played well over 90 minutes asking them to do much more would have been unfair.

Good news is Chelsea needed some of their best players to play, hopefully that's a negative factor for them in their next game.
