Both penalties were stonewall, crazy that anyone could even think otherwise to be honest.

For those who dont know the rules

A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

• charges
• jumps at
• kicks or attempts to kick
• pushes
• strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt)
• tackles or challenges
• trips or attempts to trip

If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.

• Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed
• Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
• Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off

A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences:

• a handball offence (except for the goalkeeper within their penalty area)
• holds an opponent
• impedes an opponent with contact

Thanks ref

You know what I nearly added that to my post, but I thought there will have been other games against other teams where he royally shafted us, but I can't think of any

1st pen.
I thought Cancelo made a decision and it was wrong. There is a way of challenging to put the player off and he didn't do it correctly.
On the flip side of that I watch games every week where defenders make that same challenge but nearer the dead ball line, knocking a player into the 3rd row and it is called out strengthening.
Haaland offside. It was offside so no argument.
City Pen. " Didn't see it" can't comment. But the referee thought it was and that is all that matters.

Week in and week out refs are spoiling matches by letting time wasting go completely unpunished, it’s utterly pathetic

Liverpool 0-0 February 2010. Denied us a penalty, and opted not to send Gerrard and Mascherano off for two disgusting challenges.
