I just compare it to others we have seen them all wave away and excuse, hence my Doku shout. How are we giving those two today and not questioning what on earth is going on? I felt the same when City got a penalty vs United and it took like 3 minutes to give.

Second game in a week gifted to Chelsea too, they had a crazy soft penalty and red card against Burnley too.
No United fan should be surprised by that tonight. Think about our CL matches and the goals we conceded. The buck stops with the manager regardless of the soft penalties or dubious amount of added time. If the players aren't able to manage a game then they should be dropped and that starts with the captain. I still maintain the 7-0 had a lot to do with Fernandes's emotional approach. Suspect that a poor result on Sunday seals ten Hags fate and I can't offer much of a case for him.

Dalot didnt even complain, not sure why the check took so long.

Surprised people are moaning about the pen calls. Thought they where both pens. VAR seemed to take an age trying to find a reason not to award them as well.
Correct call for me.

No idea why people are focused on them anyway. We are conceding 25-30 shots per game, what do people think is going to happen. Totally unsustainable.
Those final few minutes have surely killed any hope of Utd qualifying for the CL now. Even if we assume they win their game in hand on Villa (and that's a massive assumption) they're still effectively 9 points behind them and 10 behind Spurs. Utd would probably have to win all their remaining games to have a chance and even that might not be enough with so few games left and not enough opportunity for Villa/Spurs to drop enough points.

It's about whether there is enough contact. If you brush a player in the box, it's not automatically a pen is it.
Im anything but a United fan but if we have the head of referees defending a boot to someones chest then we cant then be having those as being acceptable. We need consistency and it isnt happening.
I mean Salah was sandwitched at the weekend, a clear as day foul and nothing. Chelsea have just won because of a soft penalty.

That shots conceded stat and entries into your box one over the last few games is absolutely crazy.

I agree, I'm not saying that the refereeing is good or consistent, but the penalties given tonight are given more often than not nowadays, and what happened in the Liverpool game doesn't change that

No, It’s about whether or not it’s a foul.
