Fecking hell. VAR will be checking throw ins at this rate.
Premier League Festive Season (Gameweek 18-20)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Watkins one should have been a pen. Hate this clear and obvious stuff. Is it a pen or not.
How is a double handed shove where the defender also gives him a real shirt tug too not a pen?
Just say to the ref “you might want to see all the angles” … he can still no but at least ref makes final decision.
Sheffield are tragic. No interest in playing football, only rugby style defending. Every set piece is basically their players holding and pushing everyone in sight.
Better watching these matches on mute when Jamie Carragher is on with his awful accent and annoying laugh.
Sheffield are not a good team at all.
They aren't and yet they have held in form Villa side to 0-0 and one attempt on target in the 1st half.
Really need Villa to win here. Into the last 7 of a LMS comp with a grand to win. Drawing is no good.
They have camped in their own half and should have had a penalty given against them.
If they did Dalot wouldn't have been sent off last week.
Have done what they needed to do to stay in the game thus far and up to Villa to break them down 2nd half which they should
Yet more evidence of a conspiracy to stop us winning the title
1-0 VILLA
If VAR gives that but not the push/pull on Watkins, it’s ridiculous. Goalies too protected.
What the hell are they even checking? Some grade A bullshit if they disallow this 
They look at every goal and see how they can disallow. Either give it or don’t. Hate VAR.
Sheffield regained possession ffs
That's a blatant foul on the keeper
If it's not a goal has to be a pen the shirt pull is outrageous
Another phase has started for me, it's a goal.
That’s shocking
Disallowed.
No goal
So dumb
Don't know how to call this
Ramsey is being fouled and he's fouling the keeper at the same time. Can't give it a goal because the keeper is out of commission so it's a foul either way.

Goal should be fine. They got the ball back and an opportunity to clear it
They were all holding and pulling in the box.
Should all cancel each other out.

Freezing it down to one frame on one player when there’s so much other shit going on in the box. It’s absolutely mental.
So much protection for the keeper it's unreal, but every team knows it and so does Ramsey.
That's ridiculous
I don't understand that either. Same was with Konate 10 days ago.
Good decision, VAR does work occasionally.
Sheffield United wouldn't have been in that situation had the foul been given in the first place, simple really.

That makes no sense.
Pathetic.
Dont give Watkins pen first half.
Loads of players pushing and they show a zoom in on one angle and that not only ignores everything else but is meant to be “clear and obvious”?
Ruining the game. Rereffing almost everything.

Player that fouls the keeper is only in that position because the defender is pulling him that way.
The amount of holding in the box there was ridiculous.
I suppose the theory must be, that if everyone does it they can't penalise one player for a foul.

Unreal that it's a foul when the keepers arm is being held? Nota bene from a player in an offside position as well.
What??
They get the free kick they are entitled to, they don't have to defend the rest. Simple.surely?
That’s a penalty
That's a pen
