Owen and Wright both saying defo pen

The bloke on VAR I had never heard of, speaks volumes as to why. Checked ages for the Beto goal looking at every opportunity to overturn it when on first watching everyone could see it was fine. Not even a second checking a possible offside for their second when the ball went into the box from the free kick. No surprise he has told him to check the penalty back, but never enough there to reverse a decision. You do that if you think someone has dived or the referee has made a howler. That was neither. Also no surprise that the closer that United get to the relegation zone, the more meticulous they become with these. Be huge for United to go down, which they won't, but the Premier League don't want to risk it

What a contrast that Madley performance was from Taylor's last weekend. I cannot stand it when refs just blow up every 30 seconds and buy every foul going..

Royle and Ferguson in the chairmans box?

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

To be clear, nothing will come of it. Might get a difference of opinion on Sky next Monday, Sue will say it’s a pen. And the whole game will never be mentioned again.

Makes all the money, training, hundred of people jobs, organisation, fans cost, fans time, passion, stress all completely irrelevant when a bell with a whistle has the final say over the outcome.

I didn't mean it like that. I love Moyes but I meant the hot streak needed to end somewhere and that was today. Albeit 2nd half was terrible

 

[Nyhus]

That was a sad second half, but the ref gave it to them.

The female TNT sport presenter is definitely off her head here. Blinking and licking her lips speaking to Bruno.

 

[rpm164]

VAR and these refs are not fit for purpose - absolutely raging at that

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

The ref/var should never be the talking point.

 

[toffeemax]

Fernandes man of the match???
I must have watched a different game

Such a lazy shout from McCoist

 

[siddharth]

Pissed beyond belief. Referee the MotM for them.

 

[Old Blue 2]

I hope Moyes calls out the ref and VAR as he did Clattenburg. It needs to be done. Someone needs to call them out for outright cheating in favour of a 'big' club. Until that is done, nothing will change. I've said some time ago, it needs the Chairman or CEO of a club to call them cheats, and then say to the FA/Prem: You're not gonna fine me (cos I won't give you a penny), and you will not keep me away from my ground. Now go urinate up a rope!

 

[Blue 1]

Only got ourselves to blame for that.

Oh, and the referee.

FFS what a joke.

 

[TrailerTrash]

Moyes needs to point out this reffing.
