The lack of offside shows you how bad the VAR decision was in my opinion. VAR states incorrect law as going by Gabriel shoulder. AVAR tried to correct him, but VAR just says yeah yeah yeah and stops the AVAR explaining who then changes mid sentence to not conclusive evidence. VAR has locked...

I don't see how this matters. He was offside during the whole process no? Could have taken the first possible time and last possible time and he would have been offside. Two hands into the back as Gabriel was just about to head it.... That's always a foul.. Punching/elbow to the head not...

Rather than punching his head, he had clattered his head which is just as a foul. If a defender did that, it's a penalty. I still do not understand the protection keepers get. Cucurella got the caution for the fouls as you can see the ref making the hand gestures to previous fouls. If pleading...

Few things that I am a bit surprised about from this game: 1) Tiago's challenge - ran from distance and 1 almost 2 footed lunge in on Martinelli. Xhaka v City and he got sent off for an identical tackle. 2) Cucurella, getting a yellow for his persistent fouling. But runs to the lino and shouts...

Honestly can't believe the commentary about how that shouldn't have been a red for VVD as it was 'soft'. That's a textbook DOGSO. One thing I was disappointed with... Liverpool had 6 outfield players and the keeper protesting/surrounding the decision. No cautions given.

Yeah, sorry I mean something like that. No everything, but at least the VAR decisions that are being checked for more than a few seconds. I know fans/pundits/managers have mentioned the idea of referees being interviewed after the game, I don't see why this couldn't be introduced too. Big call...

I just hope this makes the FA broadcast everything as it happens. Too many clear and obvious errors have happened over recent years which make us all question how... Unfortunately, this probably is the answer. The FA/Premier League will now be under pressure for the next decision that was...

If a player follows through on another player anywhere else on the pitch like that.... It's a foul and probably a caution. Why are keepers protected and essentially allowed to foul players without consequences?

The referee has lost control of this game. Numerous poor decisions which were simple to call. Big occasion and he hasn't performed well at all. Consequently, a minority of 'fans' have taken things into their own hands.

The ball was about to be headed back towards goal. Dunk(?) Was right behind his hand. Would you not class that as a promising attack? Or is that too vague? I feel he is very lucky.

1) didn't the ref blow for FT? Why is he restarting with a kick off? I thought it is finished after the penalty kick has been taken? 2) Shaw should have been sent off (second caution)? He punched the ball away like a keeper.

You'd hope Robertson gets a ban for aggressively touching the lino. No excuses to touch them.

Mitoma we all can see it has hit his sleeve. Textbook definition of non-handball by the most recent update. I can't see how this can be debated because the still is literally the same as what we are taught. With the welbeck goal, is there any evidence it 100% hit the arm? From MotD and Sky...

Not entirely sure how this helps? Just rubs salt into the wounds. Maybe an award of an extra point would help the blow? Two teams who have recent VAR howlers there could cost them in the run in. Arsenal the title Brighton European football Could teams start filing law suits against loss of...

Mitoma - textbook definition of not handball according to the law accompanied by the picture often used in this forum. How the lino thought he could see it from his position is also a weird take on it, he is a miles away to interfere with such a big call. Not one player appealed which also...

The commentary was driving me nuts. Clear penalty all day long... It wasn't controversial at all.

That was an awful dive by Grealish from the replay we've just seen. Embarrassing. Poor from the ref as Grealish has done that to get him sent off

Yes, the replays just showed that. Two odd decisions

I'm sorry, but how is that a penalty? City bloke has headed the ball onto the defender's arm which is approximately 30cm away from the city player. Also, city player has his elbow in the Leipzig player's back which makes him unbalanced in the air. Surely his arm is in a natural position?!

It's Bruno. He does what he wants and gets away with it each week without punishment. It's infuriating. Bruno could have kicked the lino and they would have probably awarded united a penalty.
