If that is genuinely what the ref said to Harry Maguire then that's disgraceful refereeing. Didn't want to give it because it would have people talking about it afterwards! Unbelievable.

Incoherent interview from Shaw. The ref didn't stop the game to look at the vid, he let it come to a close.

But if the ref has said he didn't give it because there would "be a lot of discussion", that's outrageous stuff.

Incredible. I can't imagine Shaw would just make that up.

Bowed to Chelsea pressure. The same pressure we should've been applying, instead we stood around like well behaved idiots.

He’s saying what we all knew already, refs bottling the big decisions, the buck being passed between the on field officials and VAR. They don’t want to deal with the backlash so take the easy option it’s an absolute joke! State of refereeing in the PL is disgusting.

Exactly. It works all the time, managers puts pressure on refs and they bottle it. Somehow people think VAR is going to help when its humans who interpret those videos.
