Back story for anyone who doesn’t know : - United were a point clear when Newcastle came to Old Trafford, but Arsenal had two games in hand. Lose to Kenny Dalglish’s team and they could kiss the title goodbye.
No one is confronting him. I think they all are know that tackle is not personal. These days the players would confront it as if it is personal. Almost everything is personal to the players nowadays.
Not in just football or in any other spots, everything is personal nowadays... people get easily offended. Woke culture and cancel culture are ruining everything.
It may not be personal but it is pathetic. Most team’s fans would be disgusted by this sort of behaviour but Man U fans see it as a skill and commend Solksjaer for sacrificing his place rather than condemn him for a blatant display of bad sportsmanship.

Goddamn ref, perfect placement too. But respect to Ole, hell always be a legend on the pitch, maybe not so much in the dug out, but better managers than him have failed at united since sir Alex.
He saw it happening and started running before the ball was struck. This is also what made him a great goal scorer, his awareness and ability to predict likely outcomes in advance.
@@laithgill2458 have you watched Ronaldo's interview? I mean he says a lot of stuff that is common knowledge anyway but I swear you could put Batman or Jesus Christ as Man U manager and they'd still flop due to how the owners are running it.

I’ll ALWAYS love OLE ! hope he comes back to the club one day as an assistant. His way of dealing with players is a very rare skill . He might not be a top flight skip , but he can play an important role
This is impressive although think it’s a flaw in the system in football that you can deliberately foul and it can ultimately be to your advantage. I thought the same when Suarez did the deliberate handball against Ghana in the WC. It probably wouldn’t be practical, but in some situations a ‘penalty goal’, like a penalty try in rugby, seems like it would be a lot fairer.
imo it's one of the nice things about football. it creates interesting situations like this. fair or not fair, the simple rules allow many interesting things to happen. also why i think it would be better without var, because i think being able to trick the ref is also an impressive feat. In real life, it is also possible to trick the system, and the most interesting events (good or bad) happen when someone is able to do just that.
He got to the attacker so quickly, I think he actually could have held him up instead of taking him out. That being said, Solskjaer will always be a legend for what he achieved for the club.
Uriah Rennie - the first ref to have his own agent - check out his sending off of Alan Shearer against Villa just to have it on his resume, ridiculous. As a newcastle fan, fair play to the boy, I'd expect it from any of our players as opposed to conceding a goal.
Ofc he could have catched up and do a proper tacke , but most probably that would be inside the box and would lead to a penalty becoz how ever proper the tacke is , the tackle is from the back , so it will be a penalty , Ole just did right there .
I am a Liverpool fan but I admire Ole from his playing days! What a brilliant player he was and you know that he was such a big team player. Most players would never do that now.
@@Kieran66 This is not a "bad tackle". A bad tackle is when someone tries to do one thing and then he does another because he fails or makes a mistake. This tackle was fully premeditated, with clear goal in mind - to illegaly stop an opponent from scoring a goal. There is virtually ZERO difference between that and Suarez's handball.
Sometimes taking a red card is the best move to prevent a sure goal and should be appreciated as the best play that could be made given the situation and even better that he fouled him before he got in the penalty area too.
I always find it interesting how Solskjaer does this and he's a hero but Luis Suarez saves one on the line with his hands in the World Cup and is a massive villain for it. They were both terrible, cynical fouls but both were the right thing to do given the situation.
absolutely. two absolutely similar situations. Suarez maximized the chances of his team to qualify. He was punished for that. Ghana should have scored.
Well spent red card. At the end of the story, for a defender a card is a sort of bonus to spend in particular moments of the match, the important thing is to always play with sportsmanship and loyalty.
So Solskjaer is hero for doing this - then Suarez must be an absolute legend for his goal-line save? I'm just a bit confused about the double standards, because he has been vilified for years over that, and it didn't even involve assaulting another player...
No one has ever received such applause for a red card.
