    Oh dear. All going wrong for West Brom now. Bilic will fume after the match, and for once I can't blame him.

    Why the **** did West brom even show up.

    Just give united all the points rather than waste 90 minutes on this ****ing farce. Corrupt as ****

    TBF Johnstone was clearly off his line so that had to be retaken. But I would be feeling sick if I was a WBA fan. It's not corrupt, it's just a **** law (handball that is).

    He looked off his line for the second one too. Didn't learn his lesson. Not that it obviously mattered.

    I'm just glad that the introduction of VAR has removed bias from the game as well as meant that we're discussing the football rather than refereeing decisions.

    Oh come on! Luck really isn't on West Brom's side. What a strike that was.

    When the small clubs get decisions, VAR look for reasons NOT to give it.

    When the big clubs get decisions, VAR looks for reasons to ensure they get them.

    If that exact foul happens to a United player, the ref would have given it. 1000000%

    The monitors really shouldn't be needed if we're going by clear and obvious. As if you've got to say 'Oh I dunno, you might wanna take another look at that' then it's evidently not clear and obvious.

    If it's clear and obvious then it should just be an immediate "you've got that one wrong".

    Didn’t see all of the game.
    Anything to fear from United next week?

    We will beat them if they play like that. It was an awful performance

    Exactly. It makes it a circus. Just have the VAR person rewind it and have a quick 5-10 second check. If he’s unsure the. It isn’t clear and obvious and stick with the referees decision.

    This shouldn’t be about get every deceiving correct but about about removing as many of the big obvious gaffs as possible.

    it isn’t rocket science

    To be fair, I think we should have given VAR a run of 6 games to see if it would work...

    Highly underrated comment this. Lots of graft, skill and end product. I’d give it more than a like.
