PL 23/24

Claudius

I’ve seen so many of these performances from Wolves. They lack finishing.

Clrnc

Claudius Nah but 18 goal attempts today. Don't think I have ever seen them this attacking especially at a place like OT. credit to O'Neil he really is a decent manager.

Claudius

Clrnc it’s Old Trafford. Was always going to go that way

Qwiss

Clrnc he's late, it's a foul. There aren't seperate rules for keepers.

Big Willie

Totally corrupt refereeing.

That is about as clear a penalty you’ll ever see. How the fuck has the ref or VAR not given it?

Clrnc

Fair play to Berbatov he says he can't understand how that's not a pen.

All 3 pundit in the studio say its stonewall and an absolute howler by VAR. apology probably incoming tomorrow

KingslandBarge

half of PGMOL is from Manchester, closet fans with zero repercussions.

Qwiss

Even my United supporting mate who never thinks they're ever in the wrong says it's a pen.

Mirth

VAR getting through an entire weekend without looking incompetent or corrupt. Impossible.

Clrnc

Dermot Gallagher is really a retard. Says the VAR can't interfere as they don't want to re-referee that game, but it was a clear mistake and should have been a penalty. But if the ref didn't give it the VAR has to respect his decision.

What the hell is he talking about?!

I think if the ref claims that they clearly saw what happened, then the PL procedures dictate that the call can't be overturned even if they were clearly wrong. This is the thing that Howard Webb criticized about our overturned goal at Old Trafford last season. The ref claimed that he clearly saw the action, so it shouldn't have been overturned for procedural reasons.

QuincyAbeyie

DiabyKungFu then why did VAR even look at the situation today before deciding no pen? If they're not to intervene if the ref says he saw the situation, the check in this case is unnecessary and literally pointless.

TambourineMan

There's too much subjectivity with VAR. It shouldn't matter if the on field referee saw the situation and decided it was not a foul. He should still be instructed to review the decision. He can then choose to either back his original decision or change his mind. It's so, so stupid especially because every fucking ref has a different interpretation of what it is they are meant to do.

Mirth

VAR was supposed to reduce instances of human judgement. Not add another layer to it.

Morons.

JazzG

Ten Hag doubling down saying it was the right decision, what a fucking idiot.

Mirth It just backs up what everyone has said down the years, nothing to do with the resources available but down to sheer incompetency by the refs. Now even with VAR they get decisions wrong. It is an old boys club and there is no accountability.

Claudius

Who here thought that penalty would be awarded even as they saw the incriminating replays?

Clrnc

Claudius who didn't?

PGMOL is really a joke. Booked him too for protesting a clear pen

Qwiss

Its crooked as fuck. United always get more decisions than everyone else, doesn't matter if its Fergie or any of the abject failures they've had since, they still get more decisions than anyone else. I can't think of another club who'd get that call in their favour.

United need reigning in too. Their tackling was a disgrace in that match. And yet Wolves got more yellow cards. There will be serious injuries if they keep getting away with it.

Ricky1985

Onana is so dodgy. Great with his feet, capable of good saves, but is very poor in his judgement and I've never go the impression he has the first clue about organising his defence. He'll be doing stupid shit like that all through the season.

Ludicrous that the penalty wasn't awarded.
