Utd fans never going to let the Romero handball go are they?
Don't even know what they want at this point. For every clear handball from now on to not be given just to validate the one that went against them?
You say it's inconsistent yet on the other hand will claim these calls only go against Utd. Or maybe these decisions do go against other clubs but you're just not as emotionally invested so easily forget about them.
Romero's was a hand ball, they get given most of the time, this time it didn't. Now every time a similar one gets rightly given you just know what everyone's going to post about. Romero was sent off for a dangerous follow-through tackle against Chelsea, Dunk wasn't sent off for an identical one on Kulusevski last night. Shit happens. I'm not going to keep bringing it up every time a player is rightly sent off for it.
You're right, things do generally even themselves out, and 'shit happens' is a pithy way of summing up the vicissitudes of football.
But I draw the line at Manchester City.
Take the Haaland episode. He literally screams in a referee's face, and doesn't even get cautioned. Staggeringly, the ensuing narrative is more about how the referee fecked up than how Haaland should have been carded or perhaps dismissed.
Contrast that to the Dalot sending off. Is it even possible that Haaland gets sent off for waving his arms about in annoyance?
It's has been going on for years and you have to be blind not to see that there is blatant favouritism towards Man City. It's absolutely breathtaking that they continue to get away with it, but it wouldn't surprise me if years down the line something came out.
