Every time a side loses an important it is obvious losing side would point over view decisions that went against them and these mistakes are prominently highlighted by the losing team boss who talks about why they could not win the game citing the mistakes committed by the referee and all that. This is something that seems to have happened with Crystal Palace who failed to contain their visitors in yesterday’s game. Yes, ManU defeated them at their own den by 2-1 making its position stronger in the leaderboard, and why hosts could not win, is something to be known from Alan Pardew who says it was referee’s mistake not to send off Marcos Rojo after his two-footed lunge on Wilfried Zaha in the 38th minute and referee Craig Pawson only slapped a Yellow Card on him surviving him on the field that cost them an important game. Notably, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the late winner for United at Selhurst Park after James McArthur cancelled out Paul Pogba's first-half opener that looked to be … [Read more...]

Enrique feels satisfied to get a fair treatment from Celtic fans despite jeers towards Neymar
The growing intolerance among the fans has recently been a great cause of concern for every side playing at foreign soils and if there has been some kind of bitterness among the players, it is assumed such a game would have to be taken strictly by the ground security personnel to avoid any unwanted situation and last Barcelona vs Celtic game at Celtic Park was supposed to be one such game and after Neymar is accused for getting Scott Brown sent off when they met three years ago, everyone expected it to get worsen with each passing boo in the ground and during the game when there happens to be an ongoing battle with Celtic right-back Mikael Lustig, security staff at the ground got their fire arms ready to face any situation but thankfully all the boos for the Brazil star reached deafening levels when he was withdrawn in the second half.
