I’ve no real issue with Oliver today, He should have booked a few of their players very early on but that’s nit picking.
The penalty is something that a lot of refs aren’t going to give and something we’ve seen across every game for the past few months. The problem is, with var in use, more refs than not are going to let play proceed and allow var to ref it for them.
of course, var have said they won’t re-ref games and so tend to back the refs who are leaning on the side of caution when they perhaps ordinarily wouldn’t because of the ability to use var afterwards. it’s turned into a vicious circle that could easily be rectified if we had adequate standard of officials and wasn’t so completely obsessed with this idea of backing refs regardless.
Look how well var was implemented midweek for our penalty which was a free kick then a penalty, that’s how to use it not the bullshit way we currently have.
Today’s decision lies with var though rather than the ref in my view

There's nothing there to say the referee had a terrible game, except for the fact that every "could have gone either way" decision went one way.
