@Cantona_Collars @stevegaffney9 I was there that day standing in the Coventry end. Some guy said, ‘ We always stand here ‘ to which I replied, ‘ Not this week you don’t! ‘ 😁

33 Years Ago Today: Just days after Bruce's heroics against Sheffield Wednesday. Irwin scored the most important goal of his illustrious career in a vital 1-0 win over Coventry. Without the drama, this goal was as important as Bruce's against SW.

@MUFC__Prince Well Fuck Off and support Bournemouth then.

Andoni Iraola is a better coach than Michael Carrick. Clear system. Clear identity. Clear structure. You can see it in his team.

@JohnCleese It could have been the basis for a Monty Python sketch.

@learning_yohei If you have a low IQ, opt for the US version, otherwise choose the mainstream English version.

As a Japanese person learning English, which one should I write?😵‍💫

Woke up and my head is still on Mars cause how do you even differentiate this ? Stuart Attwell needs to be thoroughly investigated for these decisions! 😡

@premierleague @afcbournemouth @ManUtd The most blatent case of MATCH FIXING since Everton avoided being relegated vs Wimbledon. It’s a massive smear on the integretry of English football.

🗓️ 4-4 on 15 December 2025 🗓️ 2-2 on 20 March 2026 Enjoy all 12 goals between @afcbournemouth and @ManUtd this season, including two each for Junior Kroupi and Bruno Fernandes 📽️

Stuart Attwell getting a good look at this stamp from Walker on Dorgu in January and deciding there was nothing wrong with it. Hard to imagine a clearer red card offence. This ref is beyond incompetent.

@PLinUSA Corruption in plain view. 🤮

THREE GOALS IN 10 MINUTES 😱 What a second half so far between Man Utd and Bournemouth!

@henrywinter Let’s be Honest, this was blatent MATCH FIXING and it Stinks!

Decisions, decisions. Amad Diallo was a penalty. That gets given as a free-kick anywhere else on the pitch. It’s even more a penalty than the Matheus Cunha penalty (which was a pen, however “soft”). Amad was just less theatrical. Penalty not given. Wrong decision. Harry Maguire was a penalty and red card. DOGSO. Penalty and red card given. Correct decision.  Understandable debate over the decisions and inevitable frustration for Manchester United. But United have benefited from decisions that go their way this season. All clubs have these issues, examples, frustrations. The main issue here is … 1) General standard of officiating in the Premier League. Amad decision was poor. Even more investment required in grass-roots refereeing, in fast-tracking talent, in training up academy graduates who don’t make it as pros, and in continued work to improve further the Select Group refs. PL has some good officials. Just need more. 2) Football belongs to fans, not officials. Fans deserve to know what is going on in real time. When decision/incident being discussed by officials, audio should be played live. The authorities don’t want to, feel it places too much pressure on officials so content themselves with brief explanation when announcing decision and clarification on PL Match Centre. Fans in the stadium and tuning in pay a lot for tickets and subscriptions, respectively, and shouldn’t be kept in the dark. Audio works well in rugby union and cricket (and acknowledging those sports have more pauses in play). l went to a VAR demonstration (not PL) earlier this week given by an elite official. Hearing the audio between officials gave insight into the process - and respect for what they are dealing with at speed, especially with players trying to con them.  You are never going to get complete consistency over decisions. There’s always going to be an element of subjectivity with so many incidents. But fans deserve more transparency and accountability. It might restore some trust. #BOUMUN

@henrywinter Don’t try justifying this corrupt / inept officiation. THE GAME HAS GONE!

@Proudy31589 @SkySportsPL Stop talking Bollocks. Did the defender try and play the ball? No. Did he manhandle the player in the posession of the ball with both hands in the area? YES! So STFU!

@SkySportsPL Maybe if he didn’t throw himself to ground so theatrically?

"In today's game, it's a penalty!" 🗣️ Andy Cole believes Manchester United should have been awarded a penalty against Bournemouth after Amad Diallo clashed with Adrien Truffert 💬

@Stehol66 @premierleague To be fair Arsenal are an even harder watch than your boys.

@rickwibbs @premierleague You didn’t watch the City Forest game then?

Football is easy for Matheus Cunha 🇧🇷

@Stehol66 @premierleague I don’t watch city mate. I find them a very hard watch. Backwards and side ways etc.

@premierleague Just Fuck Off!

Here's how the top six stands after Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd 👀

@ConradMubiru @UTDKara DICK!

@UTDKara These United fans are clueless Maguire was dribbled past and pulled the player down Amad went into a shoulder battle and was overpowered What can't you see

Bruno Fernandes is asking the right question if you didn’t give a penalty on Amad Diallo, then why give one for Bournemouth? Just watch both incidents and tell me how one is given and the other isn’t. Referee is from Liverpool 😳🤷‍♂️ x.com/KMedia001/stat…

@UTDKara I’m getting the word…… ‘ CORRUPTION ‘.

If you think these decisions from Attwell and Pawson are just mistakes, you’re wrong. Take a look at the list below: 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 (𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐞 / 𝐕𝐀𝐑) 1. Bournemouth 2–2 Man Utd (March 2026): Attwell ignored a clear foul on Amad in the box with no VAR intervention, but later awarded a soft penalty and red card to Maguire for a similar incident. The decisions sparked outrage, with fans and pundits calling them inconsistent and baffling. 2. Burnley vs Man Utd (Jan 2026): Attwell and Pawson disallowed Martínez’s equaliser for minimal contact, later ruled incorrect by the KMI Panel. Fans saw it as another costly and unjust decision by the same duo. 3. Middlesbrough vs Man Utd (FA Cup 2022): As VAR, Attwell allowed a goal despite a clear handball in the build-up, leading to United’s elimination. The incident remains a widely cited example of a major officiating error against the club. 4. Chelsea vs Man Utd (2021): Attwell denied a clear penalty and reportedly ignored VAR advice to avoid controversy. The decision fueled long-term frustration among fans over perceived reluctance to make big calls. 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧 (𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐞 / 𝐕𝐀𝐑) 1. Brentford 3–1 Man Utd (Sept 2025): Pawson awarded a penalty but failed to send off Collins for a clear DOGSO offence, with VAR not intervening. The KMI Panel later confirmed it as a major error, with fans believing it impacted the game’s outcome.

@PLinUSA Joke League. Absolutely Corrupt, blatent cheating.

Back level 😳 Junior Kroupi scores the penalty after Harry Maguire is sent off. 🟥
