Shock horror rip off at the dung heap, but now we have VAR it is even more obvious. Just cannot understand fans of clubs who have not a real chance of their club ever playing in it can have an interest in that league. Back in the old days of it being league division 1 most would love to have been part of it but everything about the premier league turns many off now. Even by some miracle we got there most know the old County match day experience would quickly be a thing of the past. Some of my mates in Sandbach who follow Stoke stopped getting Season Tickets a year or two after they got to the PL. They were sick and tired of the bullsh1t surrounding it, the massive wages and so on. After they were relegated they bought STs again. They reckoned they hadn't enjoyed an away game for years so started going away again as well. Be interested to hear whether any of tonight's visitors would fancy going back there.

Think even the premier league is a different place than it was back in the days they were there. Only know one of their fans who is a ST holder so its hardly a cross section of their fans. He says he never really enjoyed it and felt his team were just making up the numbers. Saying that he loved the cup runs they had.

Disgraceful decision last night & to me proves VAR is pointless. Ref's getting stuff wrong is part & parcel of the game they're only human after all, but when you employ technology as well & it's still the wrong decision that's just infuriating, they said that it wasn't a clear & obvious foul? not sure how much more clear & obvious that could've been! Not sure if it was a VAR decision or not but Everton's disallowed goal at the weekend was a joke too, I hate the modern day overprotection of keepers, it seems nowadays the slightest touch on the keeper & it's a foul even if it's the keepers fault that contact was made in the 1st place.

You can add the over reaction of many keepers and the rest of his team once a keeper gets any single knock.

Going on past history with other players think he is going to find it very difficult to play at any other club.

Going on past history with other players think he is going to find it very difficult to play at any other club. He'll be fine abroad. It's the media over here that will make his life hell.
I hope him, his partner and his new born child have a happy life together and that he learns from his mistakes.

PR shitshow from United throughout this entire unsavoury process. Yep. Clearly leaked that they were thinking of bringing him back to test public opinion. Lots of "people haven't seen the full picture" and "I was found not guilty..." in the statements from club and player. One question, Mason - is that you in the audio?

Yeah, awful statement from the club really. You can understand him saying it but the club seem intent on burning through all the goodwill possible and basically stomping their feet and saying 'we didn't want to make this decision but you all made us'

Poor PR but however they got there - they made the right decision.
