Referees are now literally getting suspended for not giving penalties against us. Some things never change...
Not really surprising, especially when it comes to some of the bigger teams whether it is for them or against them. It gives eyeballs, clicks to the media/pundits to harp on.
Even if we had not, it doesn't really doesn't help the media to make us out to be victims of not getting a call. It plays better the smaller team got a bad call that cost them against the big bad United. And it will continue to play on as the week goes on and they talk about the game against Spurs, United were lucky last week due to the officiating. Refs shouldn't be making up for mistakes from previous incidents but, you can see it coming soon enough.
I seem to remember Casillas punching Vidic square in the face the last time we met them in the UCL.Quite similar to the debate when Neuer almost decapitated Higuain in the 2014 final.
This contradicts your first point.Clear penalty, the bigger question should be why are GKs allowed to get away with this most of the time
Sky wont even bring it up if anybody else does it.The refs have been punished
I am now expecting this and similar to be a penalty in every game going forward
Then tell me why the one against Antony was not a pen? The keeper was also very late and even kicked his leg ffs. Or the zillion similar incidents have happened in the last 50 years of football.If he hadn't been so late I would have waved it away too. It's not a 'you can't go for the ball in that situation' foul it's a 'you were nowhere near the ball and that's on you' foul.
How so? Clear penalty and gks should not be allowed to get away with it like they are doing nowThis contradicts your first point.
If goalkeepers are allowed to do it then it's not a pen.How so? Clear penalty and gks should not be allowed to get away with it like they are doing now
But that's a perfectly fair argument. If, in the vast majority of incidents, referees have not called those as penalties, then in practice they aren't penalties and the laws of the game would need to be updated to make them so.i mean the only way to really argue it wasnt a penalty is essentially arguing that they dont call these more like they should, not that it isnt what should be considered a foul. You can talk about keepers needing extra protection, but in no way does that mean they should be able to come out, not get close to the balls, and take the opposition player out.
First half, 37.36, Rashford heads ball towards goal which hits Semedos arm/hand and blocks it from going into goal. VAR check. No penalty and no red card.What two incidents do you think United should have had pens for?
Watched it on tiktok on my phone and don’t see Onana touching the ball at all. I’ll get a go on the laptopVery slight deflection so I was screaming no pen fully expecting the ref to give it anyway..... Kudos to be honest, but Redcafe and media gon Redcafe and media, and consequently we'll get shafted for the foreseeable
I dont see the contact on the ball at all, he jumps with his hands back and if any contact is made with the ball its after the player has headed it and Onana has cleaned out the other player. Its one of those decisions that could go either way and luckily for us we got away with it, I wouldnt have any complaints if it was given though.Very slight deflection so I was screaming no pen fully expecting the ref to give it anyway.....

Happened to Antony earlier in the match and no one was screaming for a penalty. Where is the media and Jon Moss on that one? Oh wait..... ABUStonewall pen ….if that had been up the other end we’d have all been screaming penalty 100%
Keep in mind there are still a lot of DDG supporters on here and also a decent amount of people that don't even support us. A lot of them were the same people that were quickly on here saying how shite Onana was after the Lens goal from Dalot's error.Never a penalty.
shockingly, many posters seem to be gutted it wasn't.
I think you need to read my original post again. “Bigger question is why are GKs allowed to get away with this most of the time”How so? Clear penalty and gks should not be allowed to get away with it like they are doing now
After he has headed it, before the collisionWatched it on tiktok on my phone and don’t see Onana touching the ball at all. I’ll get a go on the laptop

If it's a clear penalty, the question wouldn't need to be asked. That's why it's a contradiction.I think you need to read my original post again. “Bigger question is why are GKs allowed to get away with this most of the time”
Fine, then its a clear penaltyIf it's a clear penalty, the question wouldn't need to be asked. That's why it's a contradiction.
Except it clearly isn't, because they're barely (if ever) given. As you stated in your initial post.Fine, then its a clear penalty
Alright, then its not a clear penalty since we are in Red Cafe.Except it clearly isn't, because they're barely (if ever) given. As you stated in your initial post.
Glad we cleared that up.
Good to see you've come around to a sensible way of thinking.Alright, then its not a clear penalty since we are in Red Cafe.
Cheers
Thank you, you know, when in Rome do as the Roman do yada yada. Have a nice dayGood to see you've come around to a sensible way of thinking.
Both.To suspend the refs is bonkers...Webb is far to concerned with social media.
Is it actually the on field ref/linesmen that have been demoted for the upcoming weekend or is it the VAR team? hard to blame the ref if the VAR guys didn't advise him to take another look.
I can’t agree with the handball, his hands are in tight to his body.First half, 37.36, Rashford heads ball towards goal which hits Semedos arm/hand and blocks it from going into goal. VAR check. No penalty and no red card.
Second half, 52.56 Antony gets before Jose Sa to the ball and lobs him. After that Jose Sa catches Antony when ball was in the air that Dawson heads away. Not that "hard" as Onana did but that doesn't matter.
Every time ManUtd get decision for it is being talked about it for weeks. When we get decisions against us it is just being sweept under the rug. I wonder why that is? I really wonder why that is.
One of those players who didn't get the ball clattered into the other in a wreckless manner fouling him though. Big difference .So 2 players jump for a ball. Neither of them get it. Another player does and heads it wide and people are asking if it's a penalty? Why would it be a penalty? Neither of them got the ball. Should we also ask that if the ball went in then it should be a foul on the Wolves player who got between Onana and the guy who headed it?
Also Edisson on Nketiah last season.Arsenal had one given in their favour a couple of years ago. Goalie tookout Lacazette after he took(missed) the shot.
It's so obvious that there would be nowhere near this level of outrage if that had been the other way around, there would have been no PGMOL apology and the referees would not have been suspended for the next gameweek.Referees are now literally getting suspended for not giving penalties against us.
