Here's a list of decisions this season alone that should be included as evidence in any complaint: - Nathan Collins pulled back Bryan Mbeumo in the box, DOGSO incident. Only a yellow card + penalty instead of a red. VAR (Andy Madley) did not intervene. Unanimous KMI Panel error, should have been a red. Howard Webb admitted it. - Amad brought down in the box by a back-leg challenge from Maxim De Cuyper. Anthony Taylor waved play on, VAR upheld "no penalty." Clear foul in many people's view, no review despite contact. - Emmanuel Agbadou handball in the box. VAR (Stuart Attwell) did not send Michael Salisbury to the monitor. Clear penalty per rules, inconsistent with a similar situation later in game (& was given). Official KMI error. - Lisandro Martínez's goal disallowed for minimal contact/foul on Kyle Walker vs Burnley. Stuart Attwell was referee, Craig Pawson was VAR. KMI Panel ruled it a clear error (no foul), PGMOL reportedly apologised. - Patrick Dorgu was on the ground near the touchline, Walker deliberately stamped on the back of Dorgu's leg, with no attempt to play the ball. Attwell gave nothing & VAR did not intervene. Ex-PGMOL chief said Walker should be charged & suspended. - On Opening Day Matheus Cunha was denied a penalty after a foul by William Saliba by Simon Hooper. Fans & media argued it was a stonewall penalty, no VAR intervention by Paul Tierney. - Aaron Wan-Bissaka's bad tackle not given a second yellow that should have been a straight forward decision & red card. Andrew Kitchen did nothing. - A pile of evidence from Stuart Attwell's pathetically inept display vs Bournemouth.The no penalty for Amad & everything it caused in its aftermath. Manchester United should speak out & stand up for themselves more, because nobody else will. Whenever a controversial decision is made, the other side of it is always discussed by either the media or rivals.

And that is exactly what he did. Some board members were advocating shutting the club down entirely. Murphy wouldn't hear of it. He persuaded a reluctant Bill Foulkes, still raw with grief, to take on the captaincy when Foulkes felt he simply wasn't up to it. Murphy's son later said of his father in those weeks: "There were football matches to be played and that's what he'd do, he'd just get on with the bloody job." Within a fortnight of the disaster, United fulfilled an FA Cup fixture against Sheffield Wednesday, winning 3-0 on a wave of emotion at Old Trafford with a patched-up team. Murphy then steered them to Wembley beating Fulham 5-3 in a replay, with Alex Dawson scoring a hat-trick before Bolton defeated them 2-0 in the final. That United reached Wembley at all, just three months after Munich, remains one of the most remarkable achievements in English football. Bobby Charlton once recalled finding Murphy alone in a hospital corridor, sobbing his heart out at the loss of so many young players he had adored for their talent and loved like sons. He never showed that grief publicly. He kept it for the corridors, for the quiet moments when nobody was watching. Then he went back to work. What few people realise is what Murphy turned down to stay. Offers came in from Arsenal, Juventus, and the Brazilian national team. He refused them all. He was happy, as he always had been, to work quietly in the background at the club he loved, away from headlines and credit. When Busby recovered and the pair finally rebuilt together, they led United to European Cup glory in 1968, completing an emotional decade-long journey that made them the first English club to conquer the continent. Sir Alex Ferguson said of him: "Telling them what Jimmy did, it's the most important thing you can tell a young player who is representing Manchester United." Murphy died suddenly on 14 November 1989, aged 79. In his honour, United created the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year Award. There is also a Jimmy Murphy Centre at Carrington, where the club's young players are still developed today. And in May 2023, a statue of Jimmy Murphy was unveiled behind the Stretford End at Old Trafford, exactly where he belongs. Busby once said that signing Jimmy Murphy was the best piece of business he ever did, better than any player he ever brought to Old Trafford. Coming from the man who signed Charlton, Best, and Law, that tells you everything 🇾🇪

🇾🇪 A Tribute to Jimmy Murphy, the Man Who Kept the Red Flag Flying 🧵 Jimmy Murphy was born in 1910 in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales, the son of an Irish emigrant. He played the organ and piano as a boy before football took hold. He went on to play over 200 games for West Bromwich Albion, appeared in the 1935 FA Cup Final, and earned 15 caps for Wales. He was a proper footballer, but it was what he did after his playing days that made him irreplaceable. The story of how he ended up at United is one most fans don't know. During the Second World War, Murphy was giving a speech about football to a group of troops in Bari, Italy. Matt Busby happened to be in the audience and was so impressed that, upon his appointment as Manchester United manager, he made Murphy the first signing of his tenure. Not a player. A coach. A man Busby had spotted giving a talk to soldiers and knew immediately was different. From 1946, Murphy worked with every young player who arrived at the club, nurturing them, harnessing their talent, and preparing them for life as a footballer at Old Trafford. He set up the youth team structure in 1952, and for the first five consecutive years of the FA Youth Cup, United were unbeatable, a record that has never been equalled. Bobby Charlton is the clearest example of what Jimmy could see in a player that nobody else could. He had Bobby repeat again and again the instruction "Just hit the ball. Don't look up for goal. Just hit it." He would roll balls from different angles for Bobby to hit, again and again, until it became instinct, turning him into the most spectacular striker of a ball in his generation. Nobby Stiles, despite failing health, turned up for an interview just to talk about Murphy and said: "I'd walk a hundred miles to talk about Jimmy Murphy. England would never have won the World Cup without him. Bobby Charlton was the best player in that entire tournament and he would never have been that good without Jimmy's coaching." Then came the 6th of February, 1958. Murphy had pleaded to travel with the Babes to Yugoslavia for the European Cup quarter-final against Red Star Belgrade. It was Busby who insisted Murphy go to Cardiff to manage Wales in their World Cup qualifier against Israel instead. That decision saved his life. The man who took his seat next to Busby on the plane, chief coach Bert Whalley, was among the 23 who perished. Murphy heard the news when he arrived back at Old Trafford. A usually hard-nosed man, he broke down in tears when told by his secretary, Alma George. When he visited Busby in his hospital bed, the United manager could only whisper a few words to his trusted deputy: "Keep the flag flying, Jimmy." 1/2 #JimmyMurphy #mufc #manchesterunited
