Haha, people making it out to be the ref was in our favour when the most blatant second yellow in football history was not given to PNE. Fucking come on United!
John Scott Please take walk and think about how pathetic you are worrying about other peoples club. I always see you comment and you are always talking about cheating, poor quality, over payed players, go kick rocks man. We live with the fact that the ref gave nani a red card against madrid that cost us the CL. No we are not happy with it but we go on, it all comes down to the game if you play the sport bht judging by all your comments I can see you dont have much experience...
I can see how people would think that rooney was offside for the first goal. However, he is not in the goalies line of sight, and did not interfere with play, hence the goal rightly stood. And the penalty could have gone either way. Yes there was no contact, but it was reckless by the goalkeeper. And anyone who thought Fellaini committed a foul for his goal are really clutching at straws. He simply outmuscles the Preston defender. Football is a physical sport. And whoever is going on about how we had to "cheat" to beat a League One club, every other big side has either struggled or been turfed out by a lesser team i.e. Chelsea 2-4 Bradford
Alright. Here's my view on it. For the first United goal. The law states that if he doesn't touch the ball, the goal can still be called back if he makes a distracting movement or is in the goalies line of sight. Rooney was definitely not in the goalies line of sight, and I dont think moving your left leg back to try and get out of the way of being off side is a distracting movement at all. Purely the goalies fault for not diving. He never should of hesitated because if it had hit Rooney it would've been offside. Sorry but that's true. The goalie didn't even see Rooeny until he plotted the flight of the ball, and should've been able to save it easily. Poor keeping. The second goal was fine. The third United goal was a penalty and I'll tell you why. The law states that a direct free kick should be awarded for multiple other offenses OTHER THAN contact. That includes reckless force. When the goalie came charging out, two feet in the tackle, it's enough for the referee to deem it reckless force and give the penalty, despite minimal contact. I think had the goalie gone in hands first it would've been different, but he didn't.
offside and then a dive. we shouldnt expect anything better from utd. and that point you made about rooney being offside but it didnt matter cos he didnt touch the ball. thats not the rule. you dont have to touch the ball to be offside, you just made that up. most offsides given by the linesman are when the player hasnt touched the ball. learn the rules.
paulsreay1 another ABU who wants to bleat. More cheese with your whine? He wasn't offside. He didn't dive. True, United got the benefit of the decisions on the day. but of course United have an exclusive claim to good fortune. No other club has ever benefitted from it in the entire history of the game. Right? Henchoz didn't didn't get away with a series of handballs in the 2001 FA Cup Final for instance, did he?
Can you believe it? We had De Gea, Herrera, Di Maria, Rooney, Depay and Falcao. Imagine if they stayed and had Wan Bissaka, Maguire, Shaw/Williams, Fred, Mctominay, Martial, Rashford and Bruno around them.
Bilbo Baggins No, I am a ManU fan. But I also like the underdog and believe in honesty and fairness. The FA Cup is the best example in sports where every team has their chance to win. Sometimes there's a bit of luck and other times it's the call of a ref that can change the game and clearly this is what I believe happened...my heart feels for the underdog...you wont get a more honest answer than that...that said, bring on Arsenal...and go ManU go...and Go Bradford City go!!
+BanzaiKai HD comment was 10 months ago, u still mad bro? United have a history of employing divers. If you don't believe that you've clearly never watched United. Of course now they can barely string two passes together lol boring boring man united
I'm Preston born and bred, Man-U should be ashamed of themselves for how they played against us. Completely pissed all over the sport against a team they should easily have beaten without diving
Agreed, even the most biased United fan can't tell me the keeper wouldn't have gotten there if Rooney hadn't been in the way. He couldn't see the flight of the ball because of where Rooney was, if he wasn't in the way, he saves it. The idea that you have to touch the ball to interfere with play is stupid.
Av3rage_Gamer you're both wrong.. Rooney did NOT interfere the flight of the ball or goalkeeper's view.. If his view was blocked that was from his own defenders.. Rooney was OUTSIDE the flight path of the ball than inside.. So the goalkeeper would not have saved it..
craziewill If Tiote's goal last season for Newcastle against Manchester City was disallowed for offside, then United's first goal should have been disallowed last night. There has to be consistency from the officials.
cymruisrael Tiote's goal should have stood !! and may be you're having parallax issues ! The GK's view WASN'T blocked by Rooney's presence ! He clearly wasn't in his line of sight !!!!! If that was the case, GK would have been standing in front of his right post ! You don't need to be a specialist in optics to see that !!!
dile27 It wasn't me who said that Rooney blocked the keeper's view. I personally think that a player moving sideways on the 6 yard line directly in front of the goal is interfering with play. Rooney knows he is offside, yet moves sideways, making no attempt to get onside. I know the current wording of the laws disagrees with me, which is why I think the laws need rewriting. And by the way, my brother in law is an optometrist and he says my eyesight is fine :-)
HAHAHA i can rmb after this, rooney got invited to the wwe cos of a wrestler(forgot the name, was a british wrestler) not happy about him diving for a penalty and from then on it was pure entertainment in the ring
He absolutely dove. He wasn't the first and won't be the last, many great players have take a dive. Happens. Many shite players have also taken a dive. And some more than others, Rooney doesn't dive that often and im a liverpool fan. Watching suarez the last 4 seasons I believe he was more inclined to spill over. that being said, I still hate his guts

its the refs decision also he can give a freekick for the keeper rushing out of his box.
I would have ruled United's first goal out, for off-side. While Rooney doesn't touch the ball or block the keepers line of sight, he does distract the keeper. Arguably it's the keepers fault though, as Rooney merely moved a foot. So the referee shouldn't get too much stick, was a 50/50 decision. I think the United penalty decision was correct. The keeper goes for a slide tackle, misses the ball which forces Rooney to jump over him. The upon landing, Rooney catches the ground. Regardless of whether he hit the ground with his foot on purpose or not, it was a foul. With a better keeper it could have been 1-1.
doubt it.. Remember when he dived playing against Arsenal via Sol Campbell? Sol was silly to lunge at him, completely missed the ball and Rooney just jumped.. Rooney got Sol in his back pocket in that challenge.
craziewill I don't remember that moment but what I hope is Arsenal beating Man U, at Old Trafford. Utd played like shit against Preston but I'm sure they won't against us. I hope Rooney would have rather lost here like Brazilians would have rather lost to Chile in penalties instead of getting hammered 7-1
No.. Man Utd beat Arsenal and DESTROYED their unbeaten run.. By the way, Man Utd then DESTROY Arsenal again 8-1 at Old Trafford with players like Anderson, Cleverley and Nani.. Best moment ever.. Arsenal was shit then.. they're still shit now :)
craziewill The Man Utd you are talking about is not the same we're talking about today and Arsenal is a much better side this season compared to the previous years
Arsenal a much better side are you taking the piss this is one if the worst season in arsenals history ffs they might not even get their 4th place trophy
1st goal: glamour it up all you want, that should be called offside. 2nd goal: clear push by Fellaini... how else do you think he won the initial header? 3rd goal: no explanation needed Now Preston know how it feels to be screwed over by United!
could u BE trying any harder? Even Simon Grayson said it was a penalty. The same Simon Grayson that's managing Preston. The challenge by PNE's GK was rash, and had Rooney not jumped to evade the challenge, Utd would not only get a penalty, but have Rooney out injured for a month or two
1) Rooney was offside but he didn't touch the ball or interfere the goalkeeper. It's a GOAL. 2) Referee had a clear view of that second goal and he didn't blow the whistle. It's a GOAL. 3) Top level sports has no room for HONESTY.. GK lunged recklessly with 2 footed, Rooney jumped out of safety but he had the goalie in his pocket.. On your FIFA, it's not a penalty, in reality - it's a penalty.
***** you are right, there wasn't any contact, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a foul by the goalkeeper. There are many red cards that have been given when there wasn't any contact (eg. studs up, double footed). According to the FA's rules, it is a foul/penalty when an offence is committed "in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force". Whether there was contact or not, it doesn't matter
***** that warrants a foul by itself? Patrick Viera was sent off when he attempted to kick Ruud Van Nistelrooy when he was barged down by the Dutchman.. No contact was made but it was a dangerous attempt.. Vincent Kompany was sent off for his two footed challenge on the ball although he got the ball first.. Yes it was a "clean" tackle but a dangerous tackle..
First manutd goal - offside, second - foul, third - it can be a foul if there's no contact at all, because the tackle is too dangerous, but rooney could've stayed on his feet. He decided a dive is much better option. At least it wasn't ashley young this time...
Nathaniel C. First goal was offside - Rooney didn't touch the ball but he clearly affected the play, learn the rules. The second goal was a foul - are you saying the referees should wait for a player to complain to give them a foul!?
***** Rooney didn't make a play for the ball, he wasn't blocking the vision of the goalie, no offside. Whether you say its offside or not, the ref said it wasn't so I'm terribly sorry that Manchester United would have won anyway you see it. What I ment by the second goal was that if the defenders didn't think it was a foul then why would the ref think it was a foul? It wasn't even really a push, the guy got back to defending Fellaini and Fellaini got the ball, why not blame Preston for not being good enough?
Nathaniel C. Look at the keeper at the first goal - he would've stretched for the ball, but he expected Rooney to play it, because he was in the path of the ball. Same thing happened in Basel-Porto in CL and the goal was disallowed, cause the players were affecting goalies judgement. And Fellaini clearly used his right hand to prevent that guy from jumping, thus gaining crucial advantage. Like crouch does always. Some players/clubs, just get away with it
That's ridiculous, Rooney had already avoided the tackle, it would have taken out his trailing leg, not planting leg, so the tackle isn't the issue. Rooney saw it coming, avoided it and then dropped to the floor. He could have easily stayed on his feet, he wasn't off balance at all. Rooney just buckled his planting leg, even though it wasn't affected by the tackle at all.
No thanks, and although I'm an American, I'll always take a good FOOTBALL MATCH over even our own "handegg" every single time!!! #COYG!!! As for my attention span, at least although I have ADHD I can definitely stay focused on the football pitch on the tube for 90 minutes (plus stoppage time), ET, and penalties if it is needed. I know that I can't suddenly dart out to the men's room for a second because in THIS football, you blink, you just might miss something!!! 90 minutes of unscripted drama that even the elite in Hollywood could NEVER duplicate.
the 1st goal wansn't offside... on the 2nd goal...fellaini pushed his opponent so it was a foul on the 3rd goal...nice diving rooney... this is united!!! :D
I love Man United but boy do I miss the days when Fergie could field a B team and still win these matches. This is arguably the best XI they could have fielded without Carrick and they barely deserved the win. Between the Rooney dive, the possible foul on the Fellaini goal and the Valencia give away I could easily see Preston winning this 2-1.
I'm a utd fan and I was really pissed off that we needed crap referee decisions to beat a league 1 team How does van gaal expect to get into champ league next year? I certainly don't

They got him on loan, for five minutes.

Also Martin Tyler is super biased. Goes completely quiet when we score come on now
never heard such biased commentary. dive by rooney didnt even get a mention
Are you fucking joking? Martin Tyler is NOT biased towards us. He always has a passive-aggressive dig at us.

Crazy Preston were thw better side in thia game
What a Goal Feliner
wow 🤩 what scenes when preston scored
manchester united when they thay was noisy when thay scored
5:02 was that a dive?
watching this game compared to the recent friendly between Man Utd vs Man City, it's so refreshing to see a Man Utd side that actually attacks.
Alright. Here's my view on it. For the first United goal. The law states that if he doesn't touch the ball, the goal can still be called back if he makes a distracting movement or is in the goalies line of sight. Rooney was definitely not in the goalies line of sight, and I dont think moving your left leg back to try and get out of the way of being off side is a distracting movement at all.

Exactly. I don't think most people understand what is a penalty and what is not.

I don't understand why this pops up on my recommendation every single day
Miss wazza though, what a player
Surely recommended could have suggested a bit more of a classic than this...
It's sad how so many people still don't get the offside rule, but comment as confidently as if they wrote the rulebook.
Can you believe it? We had De Gea, Herrera, Di Maria, Rooney, Depay and Falcao. Imagine if they stayed and had Wan Bissaka, Maguire, Shaw/Williams, Fred, Mctominay, Martial, Rashford and Bruno around them.
I'm a Manchester United fan but clearly Preston North End was robbed by poor officiating.

Stu was right, that was a dirty dive.
If under the current laws Rooney is deemed as not interfering for United's first goal, then the laws need a serious review.

And some more than others, Rooney doesn't dive that often and im a liverpool fan.

its the refs decision also he can give a freekick for the keeper rushing out of his box.
Good
Thumbnail looks like FIFA
that was onside.
I would have ruled United's first goal out, for off-side. While Rooney doesn't touch the ball or block the keepers line of sight, he does distract the keeper. Arguably it's the keepers fault though, as Rooney merely moved a foot. So the referee shouldn't get too much stick, was a 50/50 decision.
I think the United penalty decision was correct. The keeper goes for a slide tackle, misses the ball which forces Rooney to jump over him. The upon landing, Rooney catches the ground. Regardless of whether he hit the ground with his foot on purpose or not, it was a foul.
With a better keeper it could have been 1-1.
After Bruno's Brace vs Brighton this looks pretty dark times.
Grayson with some hairs left...
Deep dale?
This Era was only possession game , nothing better .
United won tho but see how they played like Barcelona
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
manchester united well done
Hopefully Rooney is going to regret that dive, I'm sure he would have rather loose here
doubt it.. Remember when he dived playing against Arsenal via Sol Campbell? Sol was silly to lunge at him, completely missed the ball and Rooney just jumped.. Rooney got Sol in his back pocket in that challenge.

2nd goal: clear push by Fellaini... how else do you think he won the initial header?

Now Preston know how it feels to be screwed over by United!
could u BE trying any harder? Even Simon Grayson said it was a penalty. The same Simon Grayson that's managing Preston. The challenge by PNE's GK was rash, and had Rooney not jumped to evade the challenge, Utd would not only get a penalty, but have Rooney out injured for a month or two

Rooney was offside. but, he didn't touch the ball which made it a goal
1) Rooney was offside but he didn't touch the ball or interfere the goalkeeper. It's a GOAL.

left with just degea from this squad

Rooney saw it coming, avoided it and then dropped to the floor. He could have easily stayed on his feet, he wasn't off balance at all. Rooney just buckled his planting leg, even though it wasn't affected by the tackle at all.
The banter times
Rooney Herrera!!
Football is a lot more exciting than soccer. Just saying.
***** Americans have short attention spans, let them enjoy their handegg.
No thanks, and although I'm an American, I'll always take a good FOOTBALL MATCH over even our own "handegg" every single time!!! #COYG!!! As for my attention span, at least although I have ADHD I can definitely stay focused on the football pitch on the tube for 90 minutes (plus stoppage time), ET, and penalties if it is needed. I know that I can't suddenly dart out to the men's room for a second because in THIS football, you blink, you just might miss something!!! 90 minutes of unscripted drama that even the elite in Hollywood could NEVER duplicate.
JOSE or VAN GAAL? :P
VG
the 1st goal wansn't offside...
on the 2nd goal...fellaini pushed his opponent so it was a foul
on the 3rd goal...nice diving rooney...
this is united!!! :D
I love Man United but boy do I miss the days when Fergie could field a B team and still win these matches. This is arguably the best XI they could have fielded without Carrick and they barely deserved the win. Between the Rooney dive, the possible foul on the Fellaini goal and the Valencia give away I could easily see Preston winning this 2-1.
That's because this was AWAY to Preston, tough place to go
Fergie times back
🐍DiMaria
I'm a utd fan and I was really pissed off that we needed crap referee decisions to beat a league 1 team
How does van gaal expect to get into champ league next year?
I certainly don't
