I have never seen anything like this on a football pitch. How this guy is allowed to ref in the biggest league in the world is mindblowing.

At what point does this level of incompetence start being accounted for??

The last foul on Ronaldo by Zouma is about as clear of a penalty you can get without walking onto the pitch with an AK-47.

Neither he or any of the other officials will have to answer for this though so happy days for Marty.

Honestly Øvrebø levels of disgrace. I'm still riled up even though we won.

Unbelievable. Him and also VAR.
Ronaldo should have gotten at least 2 penalties out of these 3 situations and VAR doesn‘t even check one of them.
Shaw handball was a stonewall penalty though

Consistently the worst referee in the league for years. He loves the attention which is the worst quality a referee can have.

I'm not sure why VAR wasn't used before the last minute of added time though (in the moment where it wasn't really needed, it was a stonewall penalty on Shaw).

No joke, we should lodge an official complaint.

Everton got Clattenburg banned from reffing their games by lodging a complaint, if I remember right.

Honestly was he trying to rig the Match?

You can't not give that penalty on Ronaldo and then give the one on Shaw.

An absolute disgrace.

Absolute scumbag. He cost us the league in 2010 with his incompetence and did his best today.

The cnut obviously waited for VAR to make the decision each time and VAR teamed up to feck us over.

What is the actual point in VAR? Cheating cnuts, Ole should have slapped them off the pitch.

He will be sitting in his dressing room in tears. Absolute shambles. It’s a penalty against us for sure, but what the actual feck is with the two he completely ignores?

He did his best to screw us today. How that final Ronaldo pen didn't get given I will never ever understand. Don't understand how he wasn't atleast told to look at the screen.

Can't actually moan at the one given against us but would have been sickening given his performance.

The fact that the referees are considered untouchable and beyond any criticism by the FA is the main reason why we keep seeing performances like this.

Not saying the refs should be thrown into the crocodile pit after a mistake, but when they have repeatedly messed up entire games, there should be some review of who should be officiating in PL and who should not.

Look, him and other refs will continue to make these decisions.

Ole needs to come and say something, or they will get away with it. But, we all know Ole won't say anything as usual.

This guy is such an incompetent crook. He always fecked us vs Chelsea and he fecks us even with VAR.

If this was Serie A, it's match fixing.
