Look at the games where these "decisions" have gone against us. We know how inconsistent VAR and ref's have been this season, why approach the game so lacklustre and leave ourself bemoaning 50/50 decisions when we have enough talent to win these games with complete certainty.
We have had absolutely horrendous decisions against us this year
- Thread starter Wumminator
- Start date
There are games every year that could go either way.
West Brom’s goal today should have been disallowed.
The Sheffield united game had a goal for them that should have been cancelled and one for us that should have been allowed.
The title race is on if they’re allowed
FFS all you football gods saying it wasn't a foul.
It looks like a clear foul on Lindelof, what are those drunks doing in the VAR room.
Obviously no pen for the Maguire incident.

Can we sue the league?
No one wants a pen for the Maguire incident. That wasn’t a pen.
IMO, it was not a foul. Lindelof was a bit soft. He should be more aggressive and attack the ball first as he was in much better position. Having said that I have seen some decisions went the other way. That's football for you. 50-50.
I refuse to blame VAR for YET again dropping more costly points, yes these decisions certainly don't help the matter but we had over 50 mins in that second half to turn the game around and couldn't get the job done yet again. I am sick to the back teeth of us just accepting decisions as well especially when you look at how WBA surrounded the ref and questioned the penalty straight away.
But again, did we challenge the ref that it was a foul?
Has complaining to the ref ever achieved anything?
He has both hands on Lindelof, then puts his hand across his face. He should be more aggressive and assertive, but that doesn't make it any less of a foul. Those things aren't mutually exclusive.
I am of the view that ever since Klopp name checked us for getting more penalties than anyone else (which factually was incorrect), the big decisions in recent weeks are now going against us. Yes, you could say the Maguire penalty today was soft but you can see why the ref gave it. Surely it’s not the job of VAR to create doubt with the on pitch referee on the basis that the referee might have given a soft penalty.... it’s still a foul! Did anyone see salah’s soft dive penalty vs city 7 days before?? Feck me I despair at the moment.
All this is correct, it was still offside, though.
We’ve had our fair share of soft penalties, VAR is a lottery. We were awful today and had plenty of time to win the game.
As far as today Maguire was offside and a foul like that against a 6,4 200 lb CB seems funny. But if it had been a foul (that wasn't) it would had been a shit call against WBA since Maguire was offside prior
The most confusing thing today was Maguire was clearly offside for the pen incident, but instead of VAR checking for offside, they had the ref go and check the contact 
Don't care if it was a foul on Lindelof, we still had enough time to thrash a terrible team, and we were meek and useless.
Yeah even when being right, they were totally wrongThe most confusing thing today was Maguire was clearly offside for the pen incident, but instead of VAR checking for offside, they had the ref go and check the contact
You’re not seriously whingeing about reffing decisions for lost points against Sheff U and Albion, are you?
Someone posted the rule in the thread where apparently a foul that takes place when a player is offside but before he touches the ball is, apparently, a foul.The most confusing thing today was Maguire was clearly offside for the pen incident, but instead of VAR checking for offside, they had the ref go and check the contact
Which makes absolutely no sense and is completely daft... But then football rules are a bit daft it seems.
How the hell can VAR just ignore the Bruno pen claim?
Complaining would undoubtedly have made the VAR people review the clip more thoroughly.
They clearly only viewed it from the original angle that the ref had. Which is impossible to see anything wrong.
Have we turned into RAWK?
The one where he was shoved over, and GNev said there was "nothing in it".
Nothing as in violent conduct maybe not, but it was still a foul!
Every team has a list. I mean there is no conspiracy, refs are shit and everyone gets their fair share of decisions against them
And we didn’t get 10 slo mo replays of it...just one from distance that didn’t give us any idea of if it was a penalty or not.
Say it louder for those hard of reading.
We were profligate, poor refereeing or not we had 88 minutes to right the ship yet we’re fortunate not to concede more as we were to not score more.
It is a foul. You cannot put your hand over someones face.........why do people have to complicate what's simple? It's no wonder these officials are confused. Whether he meant it or not, it's a foul. Your opinion on the defending don't really matter.
Pretty sure, yes. Only they dont post them online, because that is common knowledge by watching more than only United games. We may have a couple more decisions than other teams, but we simply aren't good and clever enough to challenge.
If a team are given a goal and defends for 90 minutes it can be hard to break them down.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. We absolutely got some soft ones in our favour since the restart too. It would be nice if it was consistent, but we had 93 minutes to correct it, and a full 50 minutes or so score a winner.
They look at the foul 1st and then they go back to check is it onside .
It’s getting ridiculous the decisions that go against us game after game. Almost suspiciously bad calls.
when have we had any soft ones this year?
I agree, we should be beating them over 90 minutes without question, but that aside, you have to consider the impact conceding an early goal has on your team, especially one that should have been ruled out. Lindelof was a nervous wreck for the rest of the half, for example.
Fair point.
What they created on the counter is worrying though, we weren’t unlucky imo.
We really didn’t. Think we got two soft pens and in the same period had some stonewallers disallowed. Any regular watchers of this team know all the talk of penalties etc is purely driven by the anti Utd media and our rivals.
Jurgen says hi.
Regardless of how "weak" Lindelof was the West Brom goal should have been ruled out. It stood and United had to get on with it and the lack of response was very frustrating yet again from that group of players.
On the chance West Brom got on 77 minutes would it be overruled if scored? If not Harry can be very thankfully than DeGea made a double save.
