My ERO and myself both agreed on 'the pen' at The Swamp last night. However, we both thought that as Wolves had spurned a good few chances there was a Rag pen loitering in the next ten mins, but it turned out to be on the 'other hand' - blatant denial of a blatant pen. How many more times has PiGMOL got to apologise about decisions that VAR was supposed to eradicate. I came to a conclusion some time ago that the whistling wankers and partially-sighted in the VAR shed just do not want to apply the LotG. They know it's a pen, the world and his pet chinchilla know it's a pen, but they are gonna brazen it out till FT and then offer a mealy-mouthed totally dishonest apology to the team robbed of a point whilst their opposition waltz off with the whole three. Matchday One and we are still being force-fed the same old, same old!

By 'control', I meant in the sense he played the ball.

He didn't play the ball either. It was the Wolves player behind him who headed the ball.

Didn't the ball come in and landed on the one Onana fouled? Granted I only caught the highlights, so if that wasn't the case I stand corrected.

Claiming the Wolves player had control of the ball is stretching the truth, even by this forum's standards.

Perhaps you need to put your blue tinted specs back on, as the Wolves player was balancing the ball on his nose when he got clattered

That’s definitely having the ball under control. No idea what game you were watching mate

After that Onana challenge I saw the ref running over to the touch line me thinking it’s a var check only for it to be a booking for the wolves manager.

What they’ve basically done here is nobody will be allowed to contest querie or confront
Blatant incompetence and cheating bias.

Every single fan other than the rags can see the obvious bias decisions they are going to get this season, according to the caf they’ve seen em given, apart from a few proper utd fans and I know a few they will say and do anything to absolve their team.

They have actually gone backwards based on that shite last night.

Garnacho will have a few good games but other than that he’s shite.

Casimero looked fucked after 20 mins a big problem for them.

Mason fucking mount is average at best chavs have pulled the keks down with this pretender, runs around a lot doing fuckall.

Antony 90m? he’s dogshit made one run all night then turned and passed it back to midfield. Spent most of the game falling over and frowning.

Splinter did fuckall seeing as he’s not allowed to wave imaginary cards or complain about everything infact I actually asked a Newcastle fan if he’s was playing after 30 mins.

Fish fingers did fuckall as usual lazy **** walking around barely any pressing.

Onana prob a decent Keeper but instructed to hoof it to a none existent midfield.

ten bobs a total fraud they have not changed their style of play at all.

400m spent under him and they rely on their pgmol mates to bail em out.

In all fairness keepers get away with stuff like that all the time. It should be a penalty but for whatever reason they never are.

Generally if the keeper is nowhere near the ball it's given, where the keeper has barged into the player. If it's the other way around, or a 50/50 clash it's not given. If the keeper gets a touch on the ball it's not given but he wasn't even close to getting there. It's the fact that VAR didn't even look at it, or looked but made a decision in 0.03 seconds that's suspicious. They'll spend 5 minutes looking at an offside that's clear even without a specialist equipment but not at a clash like that. It's time that we at least had access to what is said by the refs and the video ref at Stockley Park. They do in other sports.

Yeah, they only have to drop the ball, and often it will be their own defenders who cause them to drop it, but if it's not a clean catch then it must be a foul! The Fulham keeper at Goodison on Saturday got away with a pen award and was presented with a free kick when he'd fouled the attacker. It's just risible.

Blatant penalty..........VAR is sometimes blind it seems. (at the swamp)
