To me it looked like Palmer was shaking hands with officials (and maybe having a word) so not sure if coaches were worried he’d say something OR were trying to stop him shaking hands.
I don't think that's true at all.
Yeah, the way they've decided to use the screens is just silly. Everyone knows which way it's going as soon as the ref is sent to look.
Chelsea were 2-0 behind at half time did better 2nd half to earn a draw. As for luck yes they could have got that late on with the defender error or if VAR was as sleepy on that push as the on field ref.
that push from behind happens anywhere in the field it's a foul
what's there to fume about? stop using the 'contact' argument in this case, it's not like it's a barge between two players running for a ball for instance.It was a nudge. His hands were by his side. In what world is that a push?
Do you think barging someone in the back isn't a foul.
it's a push, you do know by using the word 'nudge' doesn't mean it's automatically going to class that as a not a foul. Like come on
Minimal?

Id have bet my house on him saying no foul)I have literally never heard of a push that doesn't involve someone using their arms. You keep on saying it was a push, it ain't one. Two people challenging for the ball, with one being significantly stronger than the other.
I'm sure didnt think that in the Champions League quarter final a few years ago.
You were basically right. Another game spoiled by a needless decision change.
If he kicked him up the arse it wouldn't be a push, but it would be a foul.
Chelsea controlled the game and created more chances.
Offside goal
Only way that'd be a legal challenge for the ball is if the chelsea player beat the aston villa defender to the header and headered it back towards the goal
What an idiot, that was factually offside. Should we be allowing offside goals or because it is united.
He's an idiot. Would be no extra time for Coventry but for their dodgy VAR penalty but no pundit will say that.
Played Villa off the park. Extremely unlucky to be 2-0 down. Villa deserved nothing from this game. They were awful.
It isn't the first time a binary decision such as offside has gone United's way, and they kicked up a fuss about it.
Duality of fan
That was ridiculous against Coventry. It was so obviously offside in realtime, and then the replay, co commentator saying its onside whilst the replay shows it isn't, just because he wanted it to be. Commentator corrected him to be fair after the next replay and he started going on about should give them the benefit of the doubt and it would be a shame to rule it out, nope it would be shameful to award them a goal that was offside.
Not really the point, VAR has been beyond the joke in the main this season, and the game would be better for it if it never existed, (which can be said for alot of things in life that are supposed to make things better).
It was not a push. If you think it's a foul then cool, probably about 50 percent of people agree with you. Yet you have VAR interventions to disallow a goal like this where it's not clear if there was enough force used to deem it a foul whilst at the same time having no VAR intervention in our semi final for the most obvious handball where the ref gave a goal kick and they went with the on field decision.
VAR seems to work when English officials aren't involved.
Have a cuppa? I'm not even salty about this decision. I don't give a feck if we won this game or not. I'm just baffled as to why VAR intervened here and didn't in our FA Cup semi final for an actual clear and obvious error.
