I genuinely can't think what the "two penalties" Kenny McIntyre is frothing at the gub about were. Neither could TC. We've been on the wrong end of several dodgy decisions this season, yet I can't remember them ever leading to a 'VAR debate' in the manner that it did on Sportsound today. No me neither. I assume a couple of marginal handballs but can't recall any incidents which looked even halfway dubious. In any event, f**k them tbf. These things should even themselves out over time. Just another couple of hundred dodgy penalty decisions to go against Rangers and then we might be all square. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 The handball claim against Graham looks inconclusive to me, even after watching it many times in slo-mo. It may have rolled down his arm after coming off his chest. No idea what the other dodgy penalty claim was. Their fans were screaming for a foul every time a Utd player challenged for anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what stopped it being a pen in the refs eyes was that he was making a movement away from the ball turning and bringing his arm closer down towards his body. Seen them given before but would have been harsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another couple of hundred dodgy penalty decisions to go against Rangers and then we might be all square. Indeed. I can't remember the last time we had some truly dubious decisions go for us like the Cuellar choke slam, the game leading to the famous Levein rant on TV and the game at Tannadice where we were reduced to 8 men. Mind you, there was the famous "off side" goal we scored at Ibrox to balance things out... I'd have preferred if the incidents mentioned were absolute stone wall penalties that were not given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets me is there is no chat about Ryan Jack's disgraceful leg-breaker on Levitt, the shoulder charge on Niskanen in 1st half or McGregor's off the ball on Harkes (maybe because he does that type of thing so often its just "normal"). There was also the Rugby Union hand off, the usual lack of consistency in decisions which is just the usual we "diddies" have to put up with. That Graham hand ball under the old (proper) rules that fans, players,.pundits etc. didn't understand then it wouldn't even be a discussion. The ball is heading out of the box, no attacker near him and no movement towards the ball. Current rules if it comes off another part of your body first then its not a penalty and as you point out, I'm not sure it didn't.hitnhis chest first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following United for the best part of 30 years, and if you think this is down to Tam or the current crop of players then you have a very short memory... we, along with every other side in the league (planet?) up our game against the bigger teams, then the next week go out and give Gretna their only ever away in the SPL. It is the Dundee United way! 12 hours ago, Sarto Mutiny said: It's quite a bold take to suggest playing better against Rangers than against (say) St Johnstone is evidence that the manager should be sacked.

To be fair, the shirt-pull by Graham was an absolute stonewaller and clear red card (or second yellow at the very least). If that had been at the other end we would (rightly) have been apoplectic. Just makes it all the sweeter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I thought Graham's handball wasn't a penalty as it hit his chest first. 6 games before the split, 5 of which are against the teams immediately around us. Reckon 2 wins out of those games would probably be enough to get top 6. 40-42 points should do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Rangers should've had two penalties but VAR would probably have sent off both Morelos and Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Aberdeen (A), Livingston (A), Hearts (H), St. Mirren (A) All very winnable league games. Would swap all for a cup final win though.

mishtergrolsch Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Graeme can GTF. Just seems like the Twitter folk are posting pics of players on request. So again, GTF Graeme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
