Blades v Norwich - Match Highlights

[Punk Blade]

Taking nothing away from the greatest piece of goalkeeping I think I’ve ever seen...

but...

pretty sure it touched Vrancic’s hand so if Hendo and Didsy hadn’t kept it out I think VAR would have saved us with a handball call.

Still, without the ball crossing the line it isn’t handball, so the triple save and goal line clearance are all valid.

Didsy clearing off the line was worth one at the other end UTB

Totally agree, despite Hendo's heroics it would have been a goal if McGoldrick hadn't had the presence of mind to position himself on the line. Well done David McGoldrick.

Yep, spot on mate - the image below shows the ball just before it strikes his hand.

Thank you to Bladesman, and Loughborough blade for the links. Much appreciated by me and, I’m sure, other exiles.

No problem, I try to get as many links as I can in here.

Billy really gave it to the Norwich fans when he scored. Hushing them and the lot.

Billy. Sharp. Scores. Goals.

With how crap VAR was being yesterday then I reckon their goal would have stood despite that handball.

Norwich fans won't like Henderson, he made one of his best saves last season against them at Bramall Lane.

Not only that save but the one he made at Carrow Road from Cantwell, this season was arguably one of his best saves too. One of my favourites anyway as it’s so hard to get down to them shots at the pace Cantwell struck it at.

Since we have no football I thought I would add the extended highlights to this thread:





It hasn't been a month yet but this match feels like it was ages ago now.

The last game fans saw United managed by Wilder. Hopefully we will see some of this spirit tomorrow!

I thought earlier, what if covid had never happened, wilder never left and now, here, on weds 6th December 2023 we were just bottom of the prem with him in charge. What if there’s a non-covid timeline that ends up here anyway? Entirely possible.
