       Kevin Friend :  Burnley vs Man Utd

       A busy first half for Kevin Friend and VAR Stuart Attwell and
       IMO both have been poor and Kevin Friend seems to have lost the
       plot poor foul detection appears to look like a rabbit in
       headlights at the moment you just don’t know what he is going to
       give no way in the world should Maguires header have been
       disallowed
       Hope he and Attwell have a better second half because if Friend
       doesn’t regain some sort of composure and control it could
       reallly spiral

       I have no idea how Stuart Atwell and Kevin Friend have come up
       with a yellow card for Luke Shaw. Absolutely shocking decision.
       How Friend doesn't see the first tackle is beyond me.

       Agreed Dave. One of the poorest displays I’ve seen friend do in
       a while. I can see why friend has “missed” it - from his
       position it looks like a 50-50 which is what I thought at the
       time. The replays slowed down always make it look worse. Shaw
       just gets a touch on the ball which I think saves him. I think
       they have got the decision just about right.
       However a very poor decision to rule out the goal for maguire -
       he just jumps up earlier, should have been given!

       First viewing I thought the Macguire goal was good. When it’s
       slowed down you can clearly see a hand in the back. Seen the
       given both ways. As for the Shaw tackle. 100% red for me .
       Forget the ball. The follow through is intentional. He knew what
       he was doing. Another poor decision which benefits Man Utd .

       I hope United don't lose their discipline.  Cavani warned and
       Fernandes carded for moaning.  OGS and Maguire need to instill
       composure on the players.
       Not sure I agree with the pundits about the Shaw challenge.  It
       looked to me as if he caught the top of the ball but there was
       the inevitable follow-through.
       YC was ok for me.

       He pushed Pieters in the back before he even left the ground and
       then had his arms over the top of him.
       Believe me, Burnley very, very rarely get any favours from Kevin
       Friend, not that we expect favours ---just fairness.

       Is that the correct protocol,He missed Shaws’tackle allows play
       to continue,when another foul is committed,surely the only way
       he can then go back and give a free kick against Shaw is to
       issue a red card

       Regarding the first two posts here - how is the VAR
       responsible/partly to blame for the yellow card to Shaw?
       Surely the VAR did well and the right thing in bringing the
       tackle to Kevin Friend's attention and from that point on its up
       to the ref only on the field to decide the card colour not the
       VAR?

       A much improved second half performance by Kevin Friend , a game
       of two halves by Friend.

       Help needed please. In added time two players went up for the
       ball in the United penalty area and suffered head injuries and
       the ball had been cleared and was in Burnley's possession 25
       yards out when play was halted. The players were treated and
       quickly back on their feet, however, play was restarted with a
       drop ball for the United keeper. Have they changed this since
       the start of the season and I missed it because play should have
       restarted with a drop ball to a Burnley player if the
       interpretation is stilll the same.
       After 74 years this game gets more puzzling by the day and it
       used to be so simple.
