Absolutely ridiculous.Wow that 2nd one was surely a penalty??? How did VAR get that wrong so badly!?
The problem is both our penalty decisions were so quickly disregarded by VAR when both of them looked quite stonewall. Surely, should have at least let the on-field ref take a look.First Ronaldo challenge wasn't a penalty and this Shaw handball was.
The second penalty call for us is the problem. Looked a definite penalty to me.
But Ronaldo knocks the ball past the defender and he leaves his leg out in the way of Cristiano. I honestly think that’s more of a pen than Zouma.I think he was right in the pen for West Ham, and not awarding a pen for Ronaldo earlier in the second half. However, Zouma's challenge was a stonewall penalty. To not even call the ref for that and give it another check is unexplainable.
Ronaldo could have easily avoided it if we wanted to, he was looking for it. The ball also was arguably already out of play, which nowadays matters (under the 'consequence' part).But Ronaldo knocks the ball past the defender and he leaves his leg out in the way of Cristiano.

If you are already on the way down before the contact is made.....Ronaldo could have easily avoided it if we wanted to, he was looking for it. The ball also was arguably already out of play, which nowadays matters (under the 'consequence' part).
He could easily have avoided it but you could say the same about most fouls. He doesn't have to avoid an outstretched leg that's blocking him, it was a clear foul, anywhere else on the pitch it would have been given.Ronaldo could have easily avoided it if we wanted to, he was looking for it.

Don't get rid of VAR, it is not a fecking AI who is making wrong decisions. It is simply incompetent referees sitting there (and in the pitch too).Just get rid of VAR.. Its a fecking scandal and has only added more controversial moments.
But why should he avoid it? There’s even the argument that he won’t get to the ball if he has to go around a defender so why should he?Ronaldo could have easily avoided it if we wanted to, he was looking for it.

If you are looking for contact, it is not always a penalty. Honestly, I think that was a dive from Ronaldo, he had no intention at all trying to get the ball, just was looking for a pen.But why should he avoid it?
