The third one is indisputable.
Did we deserve a penalty in that game?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
1st one - if it was given wouldn’t have been overruled but the fact it wasn’t given on the field means I can understand why it wasn’t reversed.
2nd one - never a pen.
3rd one - stonewaller! Can’t understand why VAR hasn’t stepped in.

The referee deemed Pogba's tackle on Zouma as a foul, even though he didn't touch him and he pulled out of the tackle.
On that basis, we should've had 2 penalties.
The last one was an absolute stonewall.

The Zouma one was as stone wall as a penalty can get, really.
How we didn't get a single penalty is beyond me. 
If Ronaldo was diving, why didn't the Atkinson book him? The refs were such pussies, I bet it's all about "United getting too many penalties", so now the opposition will get away with murder in their own box when playing against us.

Well, it was a little different. Pogba did not make contact, if it was it was minimal.
The one where Zouma slides Ronaldo in the box, takes him out and gets none of the ball.
First one looked a pen in real time, then from one angle it looks like Ronaldo is looking for it, then from another it looked a penalty again. Seen them given, but wasn’t overly shocked to see Martin Atkinson of all people having absolutely none of it.
The second one though? Stone wall pen all day long. Criminal.

To make it worse, they went up the other end and got a soft free kick for a push that led to their pen.
3rd was stonewall. First Ronaldo initiated contact, 2nd it could or couldnt be, 50-50 or more not than yes but 3rd one was a clear penalty denied.
Nope.. AWB one was foul on him, Soucek clearly came behind AWB and clumsily crashed into him
I can understand why the first one wasn't given. The second one, only extremely biased people would say that wasn't as clear as a day. A total disaster it wasn't given.
I expect the PL to have a review of the pen rule after this, because this is getting out of hand.
This
I saw that. Utterly ridiculous.
Definitely!! Both were penalties.
Ahh, right. Doesn't ring a bell. Hopefully someone posts a clip.
It's crazy how blatant as well. Cannot understand how the don't refer it, especially that first one.
I haven't been in match day thread today, cause I'm with fam, so I can only imagine how insessant the thread would have been!
Thankfully we won in the end, but almost robbed.
That was actually fecked up how Ronaldo didn't get a pen there.
We did but the ref was biased vs us
They all looked decent shouts but the last one was totally stonewall
However there is no chance Martin Atkinson is going to give us a penalty

Yes, that's the only difference
Had he not jumped, there would've been contact, though.
Anyway, it was the exact same foul, and that means it should also be a pen.
Yes, two of them were 100% clear cut.
The last one was nailed on and I’d love to hear the logic for it not being give. The Coufal could have been given too but I think would have been on the softer side.
The last one for sure.
First one I think, not y the new rules.

I was infuriated and thought it was so unfair on Ole, the team deserved it today. Luckily de Gea came to the rescue but this was awful refereeing, truly disgusting.
We all wanted a bit of VAR to go on the refs interpretation. We've had it last year where every decision gets looked at and we all moaning. Var can't do no right. We either accept it, or feck it off completely
That 90th min one was clear as daylight. feck Atkinson
Need not to ask, 2 clear penalties.
2 penalty for us and maybe 1 for West Ham
@GifLord any clips of that last penalty shout. As usual we barely got any replays but it looked absolutely stonewall to me and my friends.
First one is also a penalty - tripped him with his knee.
The last one was baffling. First two you can argue, but I don't get how the last one wasn't given.
The last one was a blatant penalty, not sure about the others if they were given against us.
Agree and I said the same thing. It’s the exact same challenge. If it’s a foul in the middle that means it’s a foul in the box. Atkinson is a disgraceful ref.Yes, that's the only difference

Wait a sec. Are you saying the last pen incident shouldn't have been reviewed?
Atrocious refereeing.
To be fair Ronaldo's first penalty shout looked like he dived but after I saw the replay is clear foul.
What's VAR there for?
I can understand the third foul being overlooked because Ronaldo plunged to the ground just a split moment before Zouma came in flying. But the first one...
This shouldn't be the case.

First 2 were maybes, last one was a stone wall penalty.
1st & 3rd were clear as day’s penalties. Then again it’s Martin Atkinson, so unsurprised he never gave either.
2nd - nope.
2nd - nope.
The first one was irritating because they're given 8 times out of 10. I'd say Ronaldo knew precisely what he was doing but that's a little beside the point.
Second was blatant and showed the fact Atkinson was just determined not to give him one.
I hope somebody shits in his weetabix.
Edit - Thought West Ham's was a pen in fairness.
