@RangersDaft52 @DaveKingsWine Totally agree, but I guess it’s like the old Cup Winners Cup, they were viewed quite highly back in the day too.

@SpoutHandle @DaveKingsWine It's kind of mental that no team from the league places go into the Europa League through their own merit.

If Dunfermline win the Scottish Cup, do we enter the Conference League in the second qualifying round? Also does this mean we need Celtic to win the cup to enter the Europa League?

@EHDMJU @Ricky9Forbes Not if it’s a tap-in signing it’s not.

@Ricky9Forbes Yes, I accept that. Just an odd position to galvanise before we’ve filled all the others

I’m not against this move but left back is the single position we actually have a good player in situ.

@RangersRobert83 He didn’t go the monitor

@SpoutHandle The referee went to the monitor, and still didnt even give a yellow or red card

That was a red card for kai havertz against burnley, and the referee shat it

HOW IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT NOT A RED CARD FOR HAVERTZ??? 😂😂😂😂😂

@RangersDaft52 @DaveKingsWine No, Rangers will. It means conference league places go to Motherwell and Hibs.

@SpoutHandle @DaveKingsWine So does that mean if Celtic win, nobody goes into the Europa League qualifiers?

@DaveKingsWine No worries, bit of a pain in the arse, but we need to win at least the QR3 round to guarantee group phase football of some sort assuming it’s the Europa.

@SpoutHandle Cheers Gary 👍🏻

@a_cooper17 @ask1087 @DWillis1997 @henrywinter That is absolutely mental. He has a SPLIT SECOND between it hitting his thigh to touching his arm. If you think that’s deliberate then FML. 😂😂😂

You misunderstand me. He USED his arm to control the ball into his turn/path. You can’t accidentally consciously use a body part. Of course you can accidentally control a ball with your arm if it just hits it and drops at your feet, for example. But in this case he leveraged his arm’s position to hold the ball up so he could turn and take a shot. He didn’t do all that by accident. And that’s probably why he didn’t celebrate because he knew.

How on earth is that accidental!! It’s handball by Mbeumo. VAR was trying to bring some justice to the initial decision, invites ref to think again, to check the monitor. Ref sticks with his earlier aberration. Bizarre. Nottingham Forest rightly furious. #MUNNFO

@BBCMOTD Not one person on this panel understands the laws of the game.

Should Manchester United's second goal against Nottingham Forest have been given? Here's what our panel made of it.

@Flashscorecom Does the ball deflect off the Forest player? Yes. Does the ball then deflect off the Man United players thigh and then onto his underarm? Yes. Is it a deliberate movement? No. Is his arm in an unnatural position? No. All of that for me suggests goal, not handball.

@SpoutHandle Do explain! 🗣️

Cunha's goal stands despite VAR recommending a review for a possible Mbeumo handball in the buildup. 👀 The correct decision? 🤔 #MUNNFO #PL x.com/simmonsballz/s…

@jamiebennett_r @alanshearer In a blink of an eye like that? Don’t talk mince lol! He has absolutely no time to react in a deliberate motion when the ball deflects off his thigh.

@SpoutHandle @alanshearer Oh come on he knew exactly what he was doing More to the point, I guarantee there’s no way that goal gets given down the other end

Wow. That’s disgraceful. Shocking shocking shocking. That’s a CLEAR hand ball.

@Arbygh @alanshearer That doesn’t matter. His arm isn’t in an unnatural position, the ball deflects up from his thigh and it’s clearly not deliberate. Accidental handball in that scenario can still result in a goal. The only definite way that gets ruled out is if he’s the goalscorer.

@SpoutHandle @alanshearer If he didn't control it with his arm, the ball would NOT have gone to the goal scorer. It's a handball. Anywhere on the pitch that happened, it would've been a handball.

@jamiebennett_r @alanshearer It’s not a deliberate action, the ball bounces up off his thigh first. He has no reaction time whatsoever.

@SpoutHandle @alanshearer He uses he arm to control it

@Wrexham_Red @greatballsofire @alanshearer You can’t use the word “literally” when he literally did not catch the ball 😂

@SpoutHandle @greatballsofire @alanshearer WTF were you watching? 😂 He literally catches the ball between his forearm & his thigh. If he didn't the ball would've gone straight to Neco.

@DWillis1997 @henrywinter A correct decision. ✅

@henrywinter The rules state it's a goal Henry. Go and read the rules. It deflected off his body into his arm, he was in a natural position, and he wasn't the goalscorer.

@a_cooper17 @DWillis1997 @henrywinter I don’t understand the uproar with this, goal was the correct decision 😂🤷‍♂️

@DWillis1997 @henrywinter But he gained an unfair advantage with it. Surely that’s in the rules too? It literally helps him control the ball so he can make the pass. Crazy decision whichever team you support.

@ibroxrocks @RangersRobert83 They applied the laws of the game correctly. Goal was the correct decision.

Terrible decision in the Man Utd v Forest game. The Forest fans started singing ‘are you Celtic in disguise?’ They are now the byword for cheating.

@grok @inthezoneuk @alanshearer Thanks Grok 😊

@inthezoneuk @SpoutHandle @alanshearer According to IFAB Law 12, it is not a handball offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm after already touching another part of their own body (e.g. thigh here). The arm also wasn’t in an unnatural position per the description. Goal stands.

@RichardM8422 @alanshearer Classy keyboard warrior twat.
