The indignation here makes me laugh. We all knew we weren't getting anything after the other night. Eye for an eye. Get over it.
That's bullshit though. It's not how It works for anyone else but us and its the effect of the media

That’s about as stonewall a penalty as you’ll see all season. Crazy decision.

So was it not given because there was “no intent”?

VAR can’t determine intent, so what is the point of it then?

Yeah if ETH doesn't call this out no matter if we win or not in the post match interviews, I'll lose a little bit of respect for him.

He’s had plenty of opportunities to call it out last season and he never mentions it. We’re a passive club and it makes it easy for referees to make these decisions. Especially when all the criticism is entirely one directional. The media are so one sided, including Neville. Apart from United fan channels there is nobody highlighting when United are on the shitty end of the stick.

So the "only the captain can talk to the ref" rule doesn't apply to Fernandes?

Infuriating refereeing as always.
The inconsistency between the yellows that we get, and some decisions that should’ve been a yellow for Tottenham considered not even a foul.
At times it feels like rules are applied to us by the book and opposition team get an understanding referee capable of critical thinking

Bissouma committed a foul. Picked up the ball, walked towards the ref shouting at him.

Michael Oliver: this is fine behaviour

Bruno asks a question as captain

Michael Oliver: straight yellow

Sky didn't show a single clip in the incident after the ref said play on. If that was a Utd player..

That penalty decision was more of stonewaller than the Onana one last game. Does this mean Pawson and Oliver receive a week's suspension? Will they feck.

You're not allowed get aggressive in the face of an official or swear this season. Pep, Klopp already booked for it too. The ones who mouth alot like Pep, Klopp, Bruno are in for a long season learning to curb that behavior I feel.

They're human beings, so there's absolutely no doubt that last week was on their minds. Because that is one of the most obvious pens you will see. Genuinely baffled at how that wasn't given.

In a league of awful referees, he is consistently the worst. And to go with that, he's an arrogant little twerp.

Bissouma got away with it five minutes earlier.

NBCSports halftime studio tteam barely mentioned the pen incident, with only Tim Howard commentating during first half highlights. No discussion, no debate, nothing.

We were definitely getting punished for last week decision. How was that not a penalty when the arms were raised and not in a natural position? Even if the referee had not picked that up on the spot, var can definitely spot that. It is getting ridiculous.
