Anyone see yet another humongous cock up by VAR when the ball hits a Wolves player clearly in the ribcage while his arm is raised well above? But oh no, they're playing Manchester City, so VAR won't overrule the ref - supposedly as they "couldn't find a definitive angle to reverse the onfield decision".
Match of the day had no trouble finding one! <doh> <doh>

Diabolical decision by VAR.
The ref was in a ****e position and his lino did him no favours.
VAR is there to correct cockups, but the"refs union", who oversee VAR decisions 99% of the time go with on field decisions.
They are not cheats, but incompetent.
But having said that, the players are also cheats, claiming throw ins and corners, they know are incorrect, rolling around on the ground, after very little contact.
Having watched MOTD, I was surprised to not see the Hanley injury incident.
Oh, silly me, it was inflicted by Ronaldo, so no problem, Wonder what would have been said and shown if Hanley had put out Ronaldo. Major talking point without doubt.
Getting back to the Match, I think we were far the better team, and Smiffy has done wonders. All we need is a change of luck, and a ref who can overcome his desire to please the superstars.
Aston Villa is definitely a winnable game
 
So, a ball slammed into a ribcage is handball and a pen........and this isn't!!!! <doh> <doh>

I know it’s ridiculous isn’t it. You can’t see it from that still but the shot was goalbound too. And once again no mention of VAR even looking at this one, maybe they did or maybe they didn’t but the commentators said nothing.

Commentators were diabolical, but what do you expect with Gary "true Red Devil for life" Neville spouting his one sided opinion.
The pen was iffy, but most decisions went against us, and all 50/50 went to Manure
Any news on our CH injuries?

Newcastle losing to Leicester.
Another dodgy pen.
Maddisson buys it, with a dive imo

2 down now after 55min
4 down now

NBC highlights also showed the ball hitting the defender's ribs first. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but referees "protecting" their own is quite plausible. VAR doesn't work and should be scrapped.
 
If Leicester can score four on what s considered an "off day" then the next two could be of Man U v Binmen proportions.

While on the subject of Ipswich, the BBC coverage of tonight's game between Palace and Southampton brought up the question of which team holds the dubious honour of conceding most goals in the Premier League in a single calendar year. The answer -- you guessed it -- Ipswich Town.

"The overall Premier League record for most goals conceded in a calendar year is 79 by Ipswich Town in 1994."
