It was a clear fk. I'm actually shocked he was even sent to the screen.They actively try and rule goals out it seems.
Kick ball out of hands? Nope?
Bit of a tug, yeah that'll do it.

Ronaldo has a good shout as well.Anyone got a video of the Sancho incident or the Wilson incident ?
That irks me as well. In the first half, Burn should have had three yellow cards. First for stopping a counter attack by more or less using Antony as a punching bag. Then he punched the ball away when United were trying to take a quick throw - because he was gassed from running up and down and up again within a minute. Then the obvious one that resulted in a yellow. Awful refereeing and inconsistent as feck.Since when have cynical aggressive fouls that are just to stop an attack not a booking guy the way? A directive only today I assume?
Nope. The goal disallowed for City just now?There’s no rhyme or reason to when VAR chooses to intervene is there?
Sancho a dive??? Come on, it was a clear foul. Would be more upset if I didn't feel Varanes tackle should've been a foul too though.Newcastle should have had a pen on Varane tackle, Sancho was a dive more than a Pen. Ronaldo one was just silly... like the Nani? one years ago. Maybe if SAF was still manager...
For balance, Chilwell should probably be sent off for studs up potential ankle breaker. Endangering safety etc.
Exaggerated contact then, jumps in the air. Very soft of that's given.Sancho a dive??? Come on, it was a clear foul. Would be more upset if I didn't feel Varanes tackle should've been a foul too though.
Its as easy a foul as you'll see.Exaggerated contact then, jumps in the air. Very soft of that's given.
What about Trippier not getting near the ball and bringing Ronaldo down?Newcastle should have had a pen on Varane tackle, Sancho was a dive more than a Pen. Ronaldo one was just silly... like the Nani? one years ago. Maybe if SAF was still manager...

Not in the highlights I saw I think.What about Trippier not getting near the ball and bringing Ronaldo down?
It's this higher threshold nonsense... And you then suddenly get refs judging obvious fouls as non fouls.That rodri foul on Salah not given is just incredible.
The standard of officiating is a million miles off and is impacting the league like never before. You can see players and managers reacting and while it's a tough job its just plainly clear that refs get caught up in emotion and narrative of games. Rodri, and pep dm's generally, get away with murder every single week. It just must be infuriating and then the one on Salah isn't even kind of questionable.
It's genuinely hard to comprehend how it was just a simple blow of the whistle without questioning either fairness, cowardice or some sort of guardiola sycophancy that sees his teams do this year in year out

Its bullshit anyway as the threshold varies wildly from game to game.
I’ve just watched 2 games today reffed in the polar opposite way. Every touch of a Newcastle player was a foul earlier but possibly 3 total pens missed and not looked at by Var.
In the City game nothing short of rugby was called a foul and Var intervenes on a goal.
What is going on
You'll see 3 penalties i think. 2 to us and 1 to themIt was a clear tug by Haaland.
Thought Thiago was lucky near the end. O.k he slipped but it's still two feet going into another player which could cause bad injury.
Haven't seen any of the Man. United game so will wait until MOTD 2 and see these apparent decisions and comment further.
Anyone a clip of this foul? I missed itThat rodri foul on Salah not given is just incredible.

I was only reading BBC text but they were reporting that Man. United players were going down incredibly easy in box and initiating contact. Most interesting one for me will be this Ronaldo "goal." If one of the Newcastle defenders actually rolled it back to Pope I can't see why that should be disallowed just because he wasn't ready so that seems most contestable incident in your game.You'll see 3 penalties i think. 2 to us and 1 to them
AgreedYou'll see 3 penalties i think. 2 to us and 1 to them
Actually completely forgot about that. Yes, I think that should stand. Great awareness by Ronaldo.I was only reading BBC text but they were reporting that Man.

They’ll probably only show the Newcastle one and then Alan Shearer can say they were robbed.You'll see 3 penalties i think. 2 to us and 1 to them
feck imagineThey’ll probably only show the Newcastle one and then Alan Shearer can say they were robbed.
What happened happens every game. A player knocks the ball to the free kick position. It's assumed that's what they're doing anyway. Not that the kick is being taken...I was only reading BBC text but they were reporting that Man. United players were going down incredibly easy in box and initiating contact.

No, the player played the ball back to the keeper from where a free kick was supposed ti be taken. It is what happens every game, a player taking a quick free kick.What happened happens every game.

Guess they should be coached to throw it just to make sure everyone realises the ball is still dead.
Free kicks in those areas are often not taken at the point of the foul, they just carry on because they're already deep in their own half. So it isn't unreasonable to say that the free kick was already taken, if indeed that is what happened. Annoyingly all the replays start at Ronaldo taking the ball from Pope, not from the foul and then the player kicking it back, so I don't know exactly what happened.What happened happens every game.

but the ref put his hand up as they do for an indirect free kick, and blew his whistle. the ball was passed to the goalie after thatWhat happened happens every game.

Refs have sometimes made the major feck up like today but nothing ever comes of it. I remember Liverpool early in Klopps reign had a corner and the ref wasn’t allowing the corner to be taken because of pushing and shoving. Liverpool take the corner and the ref blows after the corner is taken, while the ball is in mid air, to sort them out again. It was a pen but it was such a feck up that the ref didn’t go back in it.Varane should’ve had one against him early. Trippier on Ronaldo was another stonewall penalty. Didn’t think much of the Sancho situation tbh.
But what’s the point? The standard of officiating is more inconsistent than it has ever been.
It’s time to scrap this farce once and for all.
Apart from the ref having no grip on time wasting, feigning injury, and constantly changing his mind on what constituted a free kick or a bookingShould of been a penalty each in our game today. Varane on Wilson and longstaff on Sancho, not sure we neither was given but at least there was consistency it would of been an absolute travesty if one was given and one wasn't.
Don't think there is anything else to moan about in our game, Trippier on Ronaldo wasn't enough IMO and Ronaldo was definitely looking for it.
There’s also the fact that VAR is only supposed to correct clear and obvious bad decisions. Which is presumably why there was no penalties in our match. Yet City get a goal disallowed for, at best, a debatable foul? So fecking dumb.Tweet

He's got somewhat of a point to be fair.
Now I thought it was a foul... But by the standard of what constituted a foul in the game... It wasn't a foul.
