Last week against Liverpool, Bruno Fernandes was clearly blocked by the referee, preventing him from reaching the ball.
The referee allowed play to continue while United were defending a 3โ2 lead.
Today, Curtis Jones was blocked, and the referee Craig Pawson stopped play and awarded a drop ball to Liverpool.
These referees seem to apply certain rules against United that they never repeat for other teams.
@iAmDavidMolloy I get that. Woke... I use that loosely to say it's soft in my eyes.
I however do not see showing a replay as being disrespectful to him or his family at all. It's an incident in a football match. One replay is perfectly fine to show. No need to repeat it ofc if it's serious.
How have we become so fucking woke nowadays that we can't even be shown a proper replay of an awarded penalty just because players were injured from it?
@iAmDavidMolloy I do get your point. But head collisions have happened forever in football and other sports. Not even showing a single proper replay is ridiculous. Nobody needs to see it on repeat, I get that, but once surely.
@iAmDavidMolloy It is pretty woke/soft stuff to not even show a single proper replay of a why a penalty was awarded, apart from a wide angle from 50 yards away, 10 minutes later. No one can even tell what exactly the contact was like for the penalty incident. Who was late? Who won the ball?
This attitude from the media is exactly why VAR officials take liberties with Manchester United. The media and pretty much every fan base in the league will complain non stop if we get what we deserve. Weโre currently 3rd for penalties and we should be 1st but they canโt allow that due to our success under Sir Alex!
Stuart Attwell getting a good look at this stamp from Walker on Dorgu in January and deciding there was nothing wrong with it. Hard to imagine a clearer red card offence. This ref is beyond incompetent.
#MUFC played well before red card, managed game with 10 men.
Mainoo great knitting play, Cunha took responsibility for carrying ball. Bournemouth energy caused issues.
Atwell the focus, by coincidence having refereed 2-2 at Turf Moor when Martinez goal ruled out for a push.
What rubbish. Yes it literally is their job...
1. Correct Decisions
2. Consistency
What the fuck is VAR there for otherwise?!
Utter nonsense being spouted again since it's Manchester United, to absolutely nobody's surprise.
On Amad and Evanilson penalty situations.
Both might or might not have been penalties.
They are subjective, in the grey zone.
So on-field decision stands.
VAR's role is not, and ever has been, to create consistency of decision making.
Each is judged individually.

Lisandro Martinez's goal for Manchester United against Burnley earlier this month should NOT have been ruled out by referee Stuart Attwell, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel has said.
@S_p_i_k_e_s That too yeah. Case needed to get off I understand that. Massive liability Ugarte. Issue is we don't have too many more options in that mould
Robbed today. Club should complain.
I'm not one to questions subs usually but I didn't understand taking off Mbeumo and Cunha. Case, yes I understand after the Maguire red, but the others were questionable.

The refereeโs call of no penalty for a challenge by Truffert was checked and confirmed by VAR โ with it deemed the contact was not sufficient for a foul.
Mainoo really does not impress in key moments when the ball falls to him in fairly open midfield spaces. Too often takes the easy decision to get the ball and responsibility off him immediately.
He has the ability to dominate, the physicality & bravery though, just isn't there.
