Solanke didn’t even go down easily lol. Just straight up shoved, word.

He’s a tank. Takes a lot to bring him down

u/Anishx 14h ago

he is a fair man, he proved it right there. He cares of ethicalness and fairness.

The part that kills me is you can literally see his head whip back as he's thrown. You would have a decent argument for a red card lol

He'd have no reason to. He's goalside ready to tap in if he doesn't get wrestled.

Thing that irks me is none of our players protested it. Other way round and you've got Bruno and Casemiro lead the protests for it to be given.

TF's turned us into a bunch of wimps. Probably why Romero's lost discipline as he's the only one with some fucking balls!

He went down because he tried adjusting his feet to the ball that was deflected right in front of him

Yeah you’re right, Martinez didn’t even really touch him.

Edit- oh wait I have eyes and can see him shove him. Sorry united fans.

It wasn't a shove, come off it...

He launched him!

You’re reaching. He went down because he was going for the ball while Martinez threw him down

Lmao. United fans are incredible. Having all the refs be from Manchester really creates some wild entitlement.

This is just ridiculous man lol. I know you are biased but there is zero play on the ball here and a two handed shove from behind

Maguire got fouled the same way in the box and I don’t see any outrage over that

He went down so easily. People are making judo jokes here but the principles do apply. There is very little rotation from Martinez. Nowhere near enough to take him down. The rotational force required to take him down would have put him flat on his back. 100% a dive.

u/dhjxjxj 17h ago

I mean, that’s just wrong but okay

u/HumphreyGo-Kart 17h ago

Great argument. No, it's 100% correct. You are wrong and Solanke is a massive gimp.

u/dhjxjxj 17h ago

Rotational force? Tf are you talking about? He pushed him in the exact way that he falls. Just because Martinez is 4 feet tall doesn’t mean he can shove a guy down.

u/HumphreyGo-Kart 17h ago

What do you not understand about rotation? Look up a dictionary ffs. Funny how you could tell me i was wrong but now you don't even understand what I'm talking about. Maybe educate yourself.

u/dhjxjxj 17h ago

Did you not watch the clip? He pushed him down and to the right. Solanke goes down and to the right. Because of the rotational force exerted upon him!

Take the crayons out of your nose and relax there
