How is that not a pen?
That's gotta be a penalty. What the feck?
Wtf not even looking at that.
Michael Masi in VAR today
That has to the worst non-penalty VAR cock up of the season. Ludicrous.
That's a feckin Newcastle pen!
Martin Atkinson.. ffs
Bloody hell, how on earth is that not a penalty?
Even the other one when the keeper jumped into the player was a little dodgy also.

How come that's not a penalty by Edison?
It's actually hilarious tbh. fecking crazy how it's not a pen. Easiest decision ever you'd think
That’s shocking that it’s not given. Every season we plunge new depths in terms of shite refereeing.
Potential red card that too. Nowhere near the ball and throwing his whole bodyweight into the players legs is very dangerous.
Jimenez is a great actor.
Would be interesting what is City's record vs all non-top-4 teams in the łase few seasons. They seem incredibly consistent in beating those low to mid table teams with such an ease. Wonder if there was a better team in PL in terms of PPG.
That’s a stonewall pen. What the feck.
VAR has actually made the game worse because with it it’s so much harder to accept the absolute nonsense we see every week, so way more frustrating
That’s a disgraceful decision.
VAR highlights how shite the refs actually are. No technology is improving that
They need to start using foreign licensed referees for VAR as currently it’s too frequently mates not wanting to undermine each other.
Kante handball?
Liverpool and Manchester City will get 90 plus points this season, 3rd in the table 80 points if they are lucky. 4th between 66 and 73 points?
Yeah atleast we could say "might have looked different from the referees point of view in real time". Now there is actually no excuse for their nonsensical decisions. It's getting to the point it looks like refs are match fixing.
Liverpool aren't getting 90 plus.
Howe should go apeshit like pep or klopp would had that happened to their team.
Anyone watching that and concluding the Atkinson didn't make a clear and obvious error needs firing. There's obviously something else going on other than an objective decision based on the footage.
That is dumb, you would expect they would be a bit more wary and concerned about the health of the players and be more careful considering cases are rising up quite rapidly.
Nothing new. As long as you can do that without explaining.
I'd just literally stop playing and tell my team to come in to the rooms.
When the FA ask why - its obvious why. The team has no chance when they get something like that wrong.
They still would get fined but something strong has to happen from the FA to improve VAR.
Wolves should've scored.
Them cnuts protect themselves is what it is. If they were to correct their decisions too often, they think it'd be admitting their mistakes publicly

Joelinton has actually been quite good this season 
Joe Linton looks like he's snuck in the City dressing room and nabbed some of Pep's special sauce. Never seen him play with such purpose.
That we don’t ever get an explanation for these decisions is the most infuriating thing.
That stupid shot by Murphy on his left 
Why did he think it was a good idea to take it from there ?

Newcastle have been decent but in the crucial moments weak.That stupid shot by Murphy on his left
That is a clear pen. Its easy to look good on the ball when your team are allowed to foul with impunity and get away with everything.
That's the most obvious penalty ever. Whoever is monitoring VAR should be sacked.
