Double down or Apologies 14:17 - Aug 31 with 1004 viewsitfc_bucks

What do you fancy from the PGMOL here?

Will they double down against "this is the right decision" or apologise for the interpretation of the law.

Just heard that even Gary Neville has said that there's no way that goal gets given if Ipswich score it.

100% double down.

Poll: Who do you blame for our failure to progress?

Double down.

Then instigate some new kind of overlay on VAR screens that tracks the direction of donkey shots wide of a post, plus snick-o-meters within every shin pad to prove Man United should be awarded the goal regardless.

Seriously, they're lucky that the law could be interpreted on this occasion. Closer calls would probably lead to double digit minute VAR delays.

Maguire should consider a career in basketball, he controlled that ball beautifully!

Because it's Man United, they will double down.

Don't they have a complete review every Monday morning of the weekend matches - was expecting to hear something official by now ?

Yes, Ref Watch - already done. Howard Webb doubled down; said blame the law not the interpretation, as it was correct. Personally still think "accidental" is stretching it when it comes to Maguire.

They'll defend the handball as being inside the body's silhouette, close quarters, natural protective position blah blah. What's all the more ridiculous is you can't score after "accidental handball", but you can if your shot was bad enough that it results in an own goal.

They'll double down. They'll reiterate that it was correct to allow the goal because it was an own goal following an accidental handball.

The "accidental" part will just be stated as fact and they'll act like it's just a purely factual decision based on who got the last touch.

Let's all hope that a "handball goal" is scored against Man United very soon in this similar way, then we will hear them moaning and whingeing non-stop for ever.

They'll double down, then in a couple of weeks they will be an identical or similar scenario where they make the opposite decision, and they'll justify that too.

Here we go again, it's welcome to the Premier League you minnows of Ipswich. 2 games in and we've already had our first major dodgy decision. I couldn't help but think back to 2 seasons ago when Chappers was bulldozed into and not given a penalty. I had to google that incident as I couldn't remember the details. It was Leicester and it was Abdul Fatawu who felled Chappers. It's a funny old game.
And would it be childish or funny if we shouted "Handball!" every time Handball Harry touches the ball in the return fixture ?
