    That ends the debate that VAR is biased in favour of big clubs once and for all at least.

    You could argue that it goes to show how many penalties are wrongly given for handball. Because the commentators are right, if that was a defender you would completely expect a penalty - because that's what we've become accustomed to. But at the same time, it was a total accident in my opinion. As so many handballs are.

    United are missing sitter after sitter. Please can it come back to bite them.

    Can't agree with that statement Tom, VAR has just confirmed the ref's decision was correct. It's decisions open to interpretation that are quite obviously biased. <ok>
    Not that I think it's right but if it annoys Utd, their fans and the commentators then it's a good rule.

    United’s finishing was woeful in that 90 minutes. Hopefully it will be that bad in 8 days time.

    I love how Middlesbrough are trolling United by playing with Joanna Lumley in goal.

    Reading this morning that a London club (unnamed) were allowed to break the rules for the safety of a new young player they were signing.
    Owing to it becoming public knowledge that they were signing him, and owing to him living on an estate where it was felt he would be at risk, the club were allowed to rehouse his family in another part of London.
    Good to see the lad’s safety put first.

    The fans behind the dugouts won’t be able to see the goal, with everyone lined up on the touch line.

    Maguire is a good penalty taker TBF.

    Have to feel a bit for Elanga though. He should never have been put in that situation - Ronaldo and Bruno are to blame for missing sitters.
