It's pure faux outrage and it's embarrassing. Somebody grabs your hair you're going to do what you can to get out of that situation.

It's particularly embrassing as Fellaini was defending himself and trying to get himself free. But that doesn't fit in with your agenda here.

No you're right, Fellaini isn't the type and that has to be taken into consideration here. If this was Suarez or Costa you'd have to view it differently.

You're the only one who's outraged. Everyone else is just commenting on Fellaini's elbow to Huth's head and his second attempted elbow.

Now watch, at half time it will also be mentioned because it's an incident that happened in this football match.

Of course it will be mentioned at half time. That's their job, you know? We'll have 21,590 angles of the incident and eventually they'll decide that Fellaini is a thug becuase they guy isn't allowed defend himself.

Nervy times for my beloved Leicester City. Off now for a half time packet of Walker Crisps.

In the context of a football match (not just a random meeting on the street), push him away. Tell him to **** off, tell the ref if you want and get on with it.

There is no justification for elbowing someone in the face. That sort of attack can seriously injure people. Pulling hair is childish and dirty, but not dangerous.

I would get if people were using the "but he is our dirty player..." Argue,net, but trying to put hair pulling and elbowing someone in the face twice is crazy, and showing off some incredible rose tinted glasses.

Easy to say that from the armchair isn't it? Next time your playing a competitive sport, try pulling your opponents hair and see what reaction you get. I play a bit of hurling, if someone grabs your hurley then you let them know all about it.

Forget the peno appeal, Rojo has been absolutely awful, put about 8 crosses in that have gone nowhere, left Morgan free twice in the box and struggles to make basic passes. He's very poor today.

Agree 100%. I'd give him another 15 mins and then put Darmian or Mensah

Leicester wont want to risk losing and are hard to break down, United tend to struggle against teams that sit back and let them recycle possession.

So you bored?

He is not a good footballer.

On the decisions, it was a pen for Leicester, just about, a sending off for Fellaini, and a sending off for Simpson.

Towards the ball?

Watch the replay in real time and use a bit of common sense. That's what the ref did and that's why he made the right call.

And at least a booking for Huth for the incident? Possible peno?

No doubt a red for Fellaini. The other two I'm not so sure. Need another look at them.

Sorry, there's no actual point in this post. How can I refute an argument that hasn't even been made?

If someone has a fist of your hair you deserve a smack for it. If you want to play dirty then expect something back. Stop being pretending to be outraged by it.

Well said mate. It's typical.

Whether Huth deserved a smack or not is irrelevant. It's still a red card and a 3 game ban.

OK we have all seen it again a few times everyone agrees it's a penalty he clearly sticks his left leg out, you still gonna deny it?

Feisty in here today.

Simpson wasn't close to a foul, Lingard made it easy for him.

Grabbing Fellaini's hair with both hands and yanking back was fishing for a reaction in a cowardly way but nobody has called Huth a scumbag. What was Fellaini supposed to think was happening as his head was yanked back from behind?

Mahrez peno is a tough one but Rojo could not have gotten out of the way so no peno.

Had another look at the replay and it wasn't a foul by Simpson IMO.

Rojo one is still hard to call.

Yep and it's being mentioned on here because it happened during the game that this match thread relates to.

Yeah, Huth probably should have given away a pen. On the Simpson incident, that gets given in the middle of the park and a yellow all day and nobody bats an eyelid. If Simpson's arm doesn't go across, he's won the foot race and through on goal.

Rojos leg is what swings the Leicester decision towards a pen imo. Mahrez is looking for it and runs into him but Rojo is making sure he doesn't get past.

On the Mahrez/Rojo collision, no way it was a peno for the collision itself, there was nowhere for Rojo to go. It's the lifting of Rojos left leg that raises the question of it being a peno. Is there contact? It's very hard to tell from the replays.

Seen the incidents at HT

Fellaini and Huth should have been sent off for violent play
The Lingarde incident was not a foul - Ref got it right
The Mahrez incident should have been a penalty - Ref got it wrong

Huth should get the same. Are they equal things? No. Was Fellaini provoked? Yes. Does that matter in terms of the rules and the match? No. Does Fellaini deserve a ban? Yes. Did Huth deserve a smack? Hell yes.

Oh yeah Suarez, mention him for the craic there.

Suarez. Suarez. SUAREZ!!!

Apart from showing some strength and will down the flank he's been very bad today. He was decent v Everton. That was the first time I've seen him play well in an United Jersey.

Our passing has been pathetic the last half an hour.

Lovely flick my mahrez tbf

I can see it being 2-1 Leicester in the 92nd minute...

I don't know if a pull of the hair is a red card. If caught you'd probably only see a yellow for it. What Fellaini did is an obvious red. Arguments of Huth deserving it are a bit juvenile.

Moving Martial to the right wing is a terrible decision every single time, I don't know why he persists with it.

We're now inside those randomly allocated minutes within a game where Premier Leagues are allowed referee games normally. Bizarro land.

Mata coming on. Get one of those fast lads off Louis so you can slow the game down completely.

Why did Rooney take that extra touch?!

Has Rojo completed a pass in the final third? Awful footballer.
