Not seen the replay but was this angle used for var ?
If not this was one of my previous posts regarding TV companies withholding replays for there own gain
Definitely doesn't touch it. Everyone had it down as a De Gea assist until they realised that meant the goal was offside.

Wow Chelsea pen was a dive. No doubt no one will mention that
United, the Dippers and Chelsea effectively seeded into the CL by the FA.

Id just like to remind some of you about tonight's embarrassment dressed up as a referee.
Stuart Atwell was fast tracked by Riley and his cohorts as the 'next big thing'. After numerous major blunders and several performances a la this evenings shambles, he was rapidly 'excused' and then demoted at seasons end.
After covering himself in glory in the lower leagues,he was re-promoted, virtually unheard of in refereeing, principally because if the 'next big thing' wasn't good enough, then Riley and Ellery couldn't tell their arse from their elbow.
In short he has a less than glorious past, supported by the 'great and not so good', has underperformed at prem level through two spells but is still PAID to submit a performance like tonight. I am absolutely embarrassed to have been a referee when that means I am guilty of association with people who can create a situation like this in one of the foremost leagues in the world.
Thank goodness it wasn't an important result.

Just watched a rerun and the ineptness of the commentary sums up what were up against. Straight away it’s ‘plucky’ Brighton playing the right way. Then the sending off Cancelo got it all wrong and deservedly sent off with a little ‘Welbeck hooked his arm over Cancelo’ comment which was then ignored and the segment finished with Townsend ignoring what he’s actually seeing clear as day and saying “I think that’s the right decision”.
I got as far as the Gundoghan assault and straight away Darke muses “Gundoghan goes down theatrically” then silence while the replay is shown then Townsend chips in “oh that’s above the knee studs showing, VAR will be taking a look “ followed by darke “mmmmm” then Townsend finishes that segment with” Yeah I don’t think it’ll change , right decision “.
One ex player and one very experienced commentator totally ignoring such farcical refereeing decisions and actually agreeing with them even with full on replays. And they say there’s no agenda?

The penalty Chelsea got was probably the softest of the 3 they could/should have had tonight. With that and the United goal being given then we weren't the only ones on the end of some shocking officiating tonight.

You didn't.Can someone put a gif of the Gundogan tackle in the first half
How the fuck was that not a red?!?
Maybe I imagined it....

Yet it's the reason he had to go off injured according to Pep, no force....You must have missed Peter Walton's clear explanation of why it wasn't a red. Basically, the guys leg was bent and there was no force.
