You need to watch it again.
At first look it appears to be a poor touch, but just happens that as he is in the act of controlling the ball someones foot kicks through the back of his. It's irrelevant whether there was sufficient force to bring him down because the important thing was Young kicked Reyna and in doing so impeded his ability to controlthe ball in the area. And throughout this nobody has denied it wasn't a foul just that there was insufficient force to bring him down which is effectively the bit after the foul play.

Just seen the Arsenal penalty. Absolutely laughable.

Haaland/Man City about to be awarded a penalty by VAR intervention for exactly the type of tussle we were denied

Because Man City, obviously.

When is a mutual engagement a foul? When it's top six.

When is a tussle or coming together a foul? See above.

Absolute joke how people can’t see the VAR bias, it is a carbon copy of the Ashley Young foul. Joke.


The videos of the Ashley Young/CHO incident and the Haaland 2nd penaly should be the submission at Nuno and Neco's hearings.
Just play the videos and tell the panel "we told you your refs are shit and, oh look, your refs are shit.", and then walk out of the hearing.

It’s pretty open and shut really. Either Atwell has demonstrably shown bias in intervening to give City a penalty today and not doing so for exactly the same incident for us against Everton - or he has only just learned in the interim that taking out a player from behind in the penalty area without getting near the ball is a foul. Which I find difficult to believe from a referee that has been selected to represent the PGMOL at Euro 2024.

That pen would have been given for us? It was a pen but even so...

Since I'm not biased I'll point out that perhaps he's learned it was a clear and obvious penalty from the subsequent discussion where it's been unanimously agreed it was a clear and obvious penalty, the twat.

That will be the line yes. Well done Stuart Atwell

Chris Wilder claiming that Forest were given the second goal, because the refs didn’t want to go against Forest after everything going on with us and the PGMOL. Surely that is just as bad as ours? He is claiming bias and corruption, and that the refs had a bias prior to the game. But will he get a fine? No because its not Forest

Surely he doesn't seriously think Murillo pushed Brereton? Brereton felt a touch on his back and dropped to his knees quicker than a cheap hooker. Pathetic dive.

Even the penalty... it was daft and pointless of Montiel to even slide in there, obviously, but he's absolutely nowhere Brereton to start with.

Says it all the lad would rather put his feet together, make sure there's a touch and dramatically leap into the air instead of attempting to leap over and have a shot.

Bournemouth's disallowed goal today was baffling. I was watching the final day of the championship on sky news, everyone in the studio including Mike Dean said it's a penalty or a goal, but this panel that's there to make sure there are no clear mistakes said free kick to arsenal.

Also the first foul by Luton on Everton, as blatant a penalty as there ever was, but let's not trouble the ref with taking a second look at a bit of a tussle.

He's literally insinuating that there's conscious bias there so he should be up for the same charge as Nuno

I get being annoyed. But having seen it a few times, it is a definite penalty on B-D, by Montiel. Yes there isn’t much contact, but that is because B-D has to basically dive over Montiel to stop himself getting cleaned out. Nailed on penalty

Yeah probably. It was stupid to give him the opportunity that is for sure.

The first penalty for City was a joke. Just a coming together and the ref isn’t interested at all until Foden tells him it’s a penalty, then he can’t wait to give it.

Then because he’s given one penalty, he turns down the obvious second one.

Attwell in the VAR room not asleep, for a change.

Bournemouth getting their goal disallowed because Solanke had the merest touch on Raya was f***ing pathetic too. There’s no way in hell that would be disallowed if it were the other way around.

The whole thing is just pathetically shit
