It sounds like bollocks to be honest (or at least distorted) but if true it's pretty bad.

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.
Hearsay until proven. If true, very wrong.
I here thinking, if the ref applies the law then it's a pen.. Problem is, I don't know the law anymore.
All I saw was CHO with his hand raised, taking the ball out of Greenwood's path and gaining an advantage to control the ball.
Whether they were going to "come together" or whatever other nonsense Souness is on about is ridiculous. Not really sure how it's not a penalty.

How is Souness allowed to cover United games is beyond me . He genuinely loathes us and unlike a lot of other pundits he can't even hide it. His only explanation for the penalty is that it's not a penalty, he said it 3 times without saying a word about why it's not a penalty
Anyone who moans about Ole being too "nice", has got to be impressed with that bit on camera just then.
Kept his dignity, but got it into the mainstream about the corruption of today's ref, influence of Chelsea website and other areas, while making sure it wasn't him saying it about the ref himself.
Top show.

Absolutely ground breaking.Their ‘analysis’ is diabolical. Clean sheets are important in football. Scoring goals is pretty important.
I mean ground breaking stuff here.
Add to that;
United came to defend
United have at 35 penalties in the last season and a half.
Clearly they aren’t watching the game, or just need a place to vent their frustrations at Man United.
Doesn't matter. We get scrutinized so much, it's our turn to turn up the heat now. fecking cheats
Wish someone would just stick a sock right through Souness’ big mouth. No idea why he is bringing up the stats on the amount of pens we’ve had?? Does that mean we are not entitled to receive any more when they are as clear and obvious as today because we had more than anyone else??
Just when I thought he'd got less biased after backing us in recent games.
Today was back to nonsense chat.
Keane saying they agreed at half time it was a pen in private and Sourness trying to take the anti position on camera.
It's incredible that the host just carried on normally after the interview ended like it was just normal rambling from a manager
The ref will say he was joking
Well just shrugging our shoulders and getting on with it hasn't helped either has it.
We've been getting absolutely fecked over for weeks and weeks now and surprise surprise nobody seems to mind that.
Yeah but he offended us United fans, so ban and educational courses?
It is crazy because Sky would have binned him if he was ex-United player talking shit about Liverpool every week. As the scousers would have been moaning non stop.
Ah the ol just kidding defense
Bloody stupid joke then. Is he that thick that he couldn't see it might upset people.
Such a wonder the best league in the world with the best players around can have such low standard of refereeing. Such a bunch of incompetent idiots FA.
Agreed. I just wish he’d mentioned Klopp. Sounded like he was about to but then went in on Lampard instead.
That's the point, we have been far too nice. About time we stood up for ourselves. Look at the way the Chelsea players behave.
Wish Keane would just give Souness a slap, the guy is such a bitter man. Really hope Sheffield United get a really dodgy penalty now.
If what Shaw said is correct then the ref is as big a coward as Lee Mason yesterday .

Klopp caused this
Since them, Klopp needs the likes of Chelsea to lose to Man United
One might say it’s backfired on Klopp

The ref will say nothing.
No doubt or surprise when the blazer wearing folk at the FA hand out a ban to Shaw for his comments but for me, the ref should be suspended and have his job questioned if that is true what Shaw said.
It’s plain cheating and cowardly officiating

It has really hasn't it. Liverpool lost to Burnley, then Spurs wallop Burnley. He can't catch a break.
He means when questioned by the FA, which will surely happen.
It is, and I can't see any situation where a ref would joke about this either. Would it be the same if a player missed an easy chance, ref has a bit of banter with him, and the player says "yeah well I bet on the other team today haha"? Unless Luke made it up, in which he would be rightfully punished.
Oh it did, went downhill since. So did Lampard, so did Jose.
I think Karma is United fan. You don't talk shit about us, or you will be punished.
Stuart Attwell should be sacked, no ifs or buts. The game is truly dead and buried if officials can openly ignore and get away with the misapplication of the rules based on backlash.
He just mentioned that than any other team in the top 6 leagues over the past year and a half. So what if they are pens. Somebody has to be top of that chart.
Ah ok.
The ref will probably still say nothing. He'll just stand there quietly while looking all dopey.
Imagine if Sir Alex was still in charge. Heads would be rolling and you'd know that Manchester United ain't a club to be fecked with. 
And a fine of course
We need to start giving the refs 15 minutes after the games to check everything, and do live interviews after that.
Hold them accountable.
You get 10 mistakes per season. Or something like that.
Points deductions, public hearings from the FA, i want it all.
Absolutely agree. It has very likely cost us points today, as I would fancy us to score that penalty.
I hope that we follow this up properly and don't just let it lie. It's an absolute joke!
It won't even be mentioned or looked into after the game
sad that klopp has the influence on media and refs we once had with saf.
ABU Media.
It's why BT Sport after the 9-0 win vs Southampton their whole post-match was them whining about the ref quality being shite because when we were up 6-0 we got a soft penalty and they made it seem like that effected the outcome. Now you have Sky sitting here after this going "ref done good, no big deal" .
So
refs make a decision in favor of us = bad refereeing
refs make a decision against us = good refereeing
Fecking hypocrites
Agreed, it has been happening for years,was it Clattenberg who said he didnt send players off in the Spurs v Chelsea game because he didnt want to be accused of costing spurs title run?
At least on the international broadcast Scholes, Owen and Cole talked about it.
The Ref should be sacked, he's clearly incapable of doing his job because of outside influences.
