Seems harsh, Young was already off balance.

Agree. Dive from outside the box.

Johner

United should get Fellaini on now, would be a nice game to get him settled in. 1-0 up against 10 men and Anderson looks miles off the pace aswell.

2moreMinutes

Never a penalty & barely a foul. Unless falling into someone is now a foul.

Mr.Crinklewood

Joe Brolly will be questioning Dikgacois character.

bluefinger

should have been a free kick outside the box. ref gave in the pressure. Keep falling in or around the box and you'll eventually get a pen. Palace should be fuming.

SweepTheLeg

Referee ruined the game. It was outside the box ffs.

KevIRL

WTF at this BT coverage with the lads in a penalty area in the studio

Jelle1880

This BT stuff is hilarious, James trying to explain why Young didn't dive.

Will I Amnt

God, I hate BT Sports.

Hes been very good today and his bit of play there has probably won the game for United. Good squad player to have

ScummyMan

BT coverage hahahaha

Anderson. I mean what's the point at this stage? A woeful 45 minutes from him.
Valencia anonymous and Young only slightly better. Michael Carrick must feel pretty lonely in that midfield.

Hopefully Fellaini gets a run in the second half. It's hard to watch Carrick play so well and have a nothing player beside him.

Mars Bar

I hate this bt half time set up.

Turn down the audio, blast Daft Punk's "Around The World" and you have the perfect music video!

Outside the box and very debatable how much of a foul it actually is in the first place, has killed the game as a contest and that's a shame.

Though it also has to be said the pass that Palace played that led to the incident was ridiculous.

and as the player that Liverpool wanted to buy but ended up with Downing instead. It turned out to be a great transfer window - for Villa!

Their 'analysis' is worse than Sky's.

Who decides it's a good idea to let Neil Warnock on I'll never know, it's not as if he hasn't done enough for other channels to not know what he spouts.

Unearthly

Well done Ashley. Won your team 3 points hopefully

Is it really that bad? I haven't seen it yet, but I actually bought into all the hype. Thought it would be top drawer.

Vincent Vega

gif of the dive anyone?

also, is the encroachment rule generally disregarded?

Their live coverage is good enough, but their HT stuff is cringeworthy.

It was a foul so therefore a red card tbh

If the defending team are encroaching and it's scored it will be disregarded every time.

Rushden

Warnock complaining about Young moving his body between dikagcoi and the ball, everybody knows to do that to protect the ball , he's hardly going to make it easy for him to have a clear path to the ball. Also they said they felt sorry for dikagcoi as there was nothing he could do, maybe not go to ground to try win the ball. Their coverage is terrible

klose

Fare glad i didnt get bt sports in going by the comments here about their broadcasting

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Ask: Would it have been the same at the other end?

Of course not, we own the FA, the Premier League and the Referees Association. they are not allowed give decisions against us.

Yes falling into someone is a foul. Especially if they're running full pelt and it brings them down

Agueroooo

Ashley Young is a sorry excuse for a footballer, but gotta admit he knows his limits and diving gives him an edge.

modern footballers hey.

Didn't Ed Woodward say he was planning to buy Uefa too after last years Nani debacle?

Would be very handy in tough games.

Isnt it nice to have a few replays to be able to make that decision

Crimson King

Defo outside box, defo foul and thus defo red. No penalty though

We may as well, would guarantee another few CL titles for the team. Though with the yearly procession and theatre that is the Premier League title "race" that we all know is only ever going to be won by us since we own it, is probably enough and a bit of competition in Europe is nice to have.

Vincent Vega

Crimson King

Young needs to be careful there, could easily be another yellow there as studs looked up

No silly, my name is David, David Gill, you may have heard of me?

Im going to UEFA now to sort that out for us, we should do much better there now

Rooney has been very poor so far.

Wouldn't worry me though, little pre season and all that. He takes a while to hit top gear

Of course I can. Calm down Scholsey. We don't need to be fighting amongst ourselves.

There is no plan to us going forward. Nobody really seems to know where to move or who to look for when we attack.

Another dreadful performance by United...getting lucky breaks again...

True but with city up next he needs to put in a much better shift.

Anderson has to go off. Offering nothing.
