No way Davies gets a touch on the ball without going through Pellestri there. Surprised there has been zero to minimal discussion on major sports news about this.

This is half the problem, if it’s a decision which goes for us, it’s brought up in every media outlet around the world… if we don’t benefit.. it’s swept under the carpet, they pick and choose when to apply the rules of the game by the millimetre, and when to not even bother checking at all, and it’s becoming more and more a case of wether we’d benefit or not.. look at that City goal that was a mile offside, then compare that to the Garnacho goal where his bollock hair is offside, (and even that is debatable)
Last night the penalty was waved away, also declined by VAR, and then they decided to go back and award it anyway because Bayern protested.. so they used VAR as an excuse….it’s a joke

Ours was overturned
Nonsense posts like this is why we don’t get a decision anymore that’s even 70/30 in our favour.
But what about that decision you got 5 months ago? Weren’t complaining then were you? HUH??
This season alone, 6 games in, we have had about 3/4 different pens declined to us that used the logic of why the previous call was incorrect and now we’ve had one against us to complete the set.
Fantastic consistency.
Davies got the ball at the same time he gets the man - they replayed at half time on BT Sports, it wasn't a pen.
Don't know why you're surprised it's a VAR decision that went against us. You know what the media are like when it comes to decisions against United. Meanwhile we'll possibly get one more piece of luck from VAR this season and the same cnuts will have a fit over it and go on about VAR favouring United like they did after the Wolves game.
The moment I saw the incident in VAR, I was expecting a penalty. The threshold in European football for handball penalties is way lower than in EPL. Essentially, if your hand is not attached to your body and you touch the ball, it is a penalty.
I also think not giving a pen to us was the correct decision. Bayern’s defender made contact with the bal before he touched Pellestri. Rio also agreed with that.

Absolutely not surprising in the slightest.
He's touched the ball first. Whether he touches Pellestri at the same time then becomes irrelevant.
We should be more annoyed that Pellestri wasn't on his toes to make much more of a great chance.
He might well have done but var don't know that. There wasn't enough time for them to make that determination which is the infuriating thing.
I have no doubt in my mind if that was the other way around the var ref would have reviewed it.
He may still have not given it, but he'd have give it a fair go anyway.
He is literally kneeing Pellistri in the back of his thigh before the balls gets even close to him… he’s gone straight through him and got a toe on the ball at the end.
But through the man first, was it not?
No, same time.
I wondered how on earth he'd managed it, but he seemed to.
That’s so true. They are supposed to be reviewing everything but can’t have had time to look at that. The corner was taken almost immediately.
Still think our players need to learn to stay down longer if they think they’ve got a possible penalty as it might give more time for VAR to at least have a look.
As described, then I must retract my claim. But fukk me I thought the defender went through Facundo first before getting a toe on the ball.
The camera went immediately to Davies' face and it was clear he knew he fouled Pellistri. Hopefully this VAR bullshit evens out soon.
Yes he nicked the ball but not in a controlled manner-dangerous play. Penalty.

Turns out I must now be completely against VAR

The ref in the Brighton Vs Athens match was genuinely one of the worst refs I can recall... Absolutely terrible standard.
Sorry, I meant ours will always going to be given.
Penalty that Luton just got was a joke of a decision.
First foul by Dalot 13 minutes in receives a yellow card. Ridiculous
Just end this league. This is pure anti ManUtd. Nothing else.
Yup, this is a joke.
It's anti United because an offside goal was ruled offside?
Please stop whining. Obvious offside, easy decision.
This is an absolute piss take it really is, that was shocking, and when was the last time we had anything from VAR, honestly every single call has gone against us.
It’s the right call. It’s the consistency of giving them that is the problem.
Again the right call. But it is frustrating how often this seems to happen to us.
Did Hojlund touch it?
It was pretty clearly the right decision.
No it’s because these goals stand all the time.
That was exactly happened alot when DDG was here. They give it all the time to oppos club. Fecking referees. feck all of them.
That was offside so a fair decision but I don’t celebrate any goals anymore. Barely muster any form of response. Probably doesn’t help that this United team makes me feel complete apathy.
I want to do to the VAR rooms what the allies did to German bunkers in the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.
He doesn't need to touch it. He was interfering with play from an offside position.
Keeper wouldn’t have saved it, but you have to give it. Unless it was against United obviously.
The issue isn't whether it was the right or wrong decision. The issue is the exact same incidents are happening that are given as goals/penalties.
