Quite a few shouts and for me surely the last one on Ronaldo was a clear one? And even the Coufal on Ronaldo is something I've seen given more often than not.
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.
Should have had two.
2 fouls, 2 penalties. Don’t care how soft they might be. The second isn’t even soft! I’m fuming!
I thought the Coufal one was for sure. Odd it wasn't even looked at.
Should've had two.
Only one. Didn't think the first two were penalties.
Should have had 2.
Two at least. He doesn't need to break his foot to be warranted one. Both were tackles that missed the ball but he avoided the contact.
The lack of talk about the incidents from the sky pundits is astounding. Can you imagine the uproar if it’s the other way round? Just moved swiftly on to the spurs game.
The last Ronaldo penalty claim was a stonewall one, i mean even rival fans would probably admit that.
I find it frustrating how they can use VAR for some penalty claims but not others.

Sure penalty. The first one
The first probably not, the last definitely. That none even warranted a review was criminal.
Two.
Think West Ham should have had another to be fair though. Awful performance by the referee and VAR

The Zouma one was blatant. Corrupt from the officials. I still feel sick.
Deserved two. Then again i thought the awb tackle was clumsy and warranted a pen, clearly got away with that and the Shaw handball rightfully given. Bizarre refereeing
Obvious penalty. Atkinson exposed himself as a biased twat.
First two would have been soft. The last one is the most obvious pen I've ever seen.
First one would have been soft. The Zouma one is not even up for debate, 100% pen. Fuming that even with VAR they’re getting this wrong.
I would like to have seen the ref review Ronaldos 2 incidents via his own monitor, he would have changed his mind if not biased.
I thought the last was cast iron. Just a routine clear out, a mistimed lunge.
The others seemed more debatable.
The others seemed more debatable.
Is not about deserving, we should been given 2 against and 2 in our favor. Shit show by the referee and VAR.
The Wan Bissaka one is possible. The first Ronaldo one would be soft. The second is so fkn obvious.
Absolutely shit ref
Absolutely shit ref
Did we deserve a penalty? No. We deserved penalties.
2 clear penalties. The last one on Ronaldo is a stonewall penalty in every corner of the world, except in England.
Last one was blatant. Didn't touch the ball and took his legs out.
Which is the last one? My internet's dodgy as feck today so I only saw bits and pieces. If it's the one where he ran in to the defender then you're all mad but I'm thinking there was one after that I missed.
Absolutely
Even on the first one, the shite defender stuck his leg out and created contact on the advancing player... and the second it seems punished Ronaldo for trying to protect his knees. Both were clear penalties by inferior players who were clearly beaten.
100%.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The last one was. Zouma was out of control completely.
The Coufal one isn’t. It’s exactly the sort of incident that has been ruining the game in recent years and I’m glad that referees aren’t falling for it. Ronaldo initiates it completely. The annoying thing about it, however, is that Zouma does the same thing a few minutes later and Pogba gets penalised in spite of pulling out. No consistency.

Should have had 2, the first one was identical to the freekick WH was given against Pogba just minutes before. Identical.
And last one was stonewall.
And last one was stonewall.
We deserved one but so did WH earlier in the half.
Maybe one, thats about it.
Even Zouma was laughing because he got away with it.
The zouma one is insane. I saw the replay and immediately began my thought process of wondering if Bruno or Ronaldo would take it. I assumed they’d check it and give pen no prob, and then they didn’t 
The first two I don’t think you get this season, maybe last but deffo not this season.

I think the first one would have been very soft. Ronaldo was looking for it. I don't think it was a pen. The second one was blatant. How VAR does not ask the ref to review it is beyond me. AWB also should have gave one away tbh. Not sure why the foul was given our way.
1st Appeal - in normal time, I thought Ronaldo dived. When I saw the replay, I thought Coufal was lucky to get away with it. The commentator said Ronaldo initiated the contact but not only does Coufal not pull out, he actually moves towards the ball/player. I think if that's anywhere else on the pitch, it's a foul all day long.
2nd Appeal - stonewall. Need not say anymore

The last one was a penalty the other 2 weren’t .
no complaints with West Ham one

Ref should be punished Imo, for not even considering VAR review… the game just can’t always let the ref plays GOD role.
