Exactly his point. First time in years when in reality he has been shit since so why hasn't he been reffing more Championship games then? Consequences that barely happens when refs have been fecking up forever.
Nah, you’re talking bollocks too
Absolutely!
Haven't a few clubs done the same thing and nothing happened? Thinking City v us went mad Didn't they?
About 7:30 into this you can see a good number of our players running towards the ref. There's better footage out there somewhere, I'm sure.
I'd assume it was for before that when we were appealing for the penalty.
Yeah, you can see that in the two videos above but jaysis, nothing more than what happens in 99% of games.
Why aren't Fulham being charged for the same? They had quarter of a dozen players sent off and their entire team was surrounding the ref ffs
They have. The FA announced their charges on Monday.

Nobody is surprised. We know how we are treated. And we know how other clubs doing exactly or worse are being treated.
Why did Maguire run to the ref and complain with his arms in the air after the ref has given the penalty and 3 red cards?
The thing is, I guess, is that the players should know that VAR is going to check an incident like that. Surrounding the referee doesn't change that. I repeat though, what we did on Sunday is no worse than 99% of these incidences.
Should have just let Mitrovic flatten the ref.
Fair enough, only caught the Mitro and Silva charges the other day. Still it's wildly inconsistent when other teams get away with this every week.
The issue is if our players don't surround the ref we might not get the decision, like we saw against Southampton a week before.
Thing is that if there is no complaint, VAR often doesn't actually check.
His head was slow to process that this was one of those rare instances where VAR made the right call in our favor.
That's not how VAR works though, they're constantly checking everything. We just don't hear about it until they ask the referee to stop play to give them more time to analyse an incident or to tell him to go to the monitor. To say VAR wouldn't have checked that handball without us approaching the referee is just plainly false.
Bernd Leno is a lucky boy based on that clip.
Thought so too watching that actually. Very aggressive and came a long way. Deserved a yellow at the time and probably deserves an FA charge of his own.
To be fair they've got us bang to rights with this charge. There's a good five or six of our players surrounding the ref. Not to shit on Maguire but in those situations he should be pulling our players back - he's the only one who is allowed to actually discuss these decisions with the ref anyway.
It’s really weird. I’ve honestly no idea what he’s complaining about.
