That is never a penalty as long as I have a hole in my arse, once again a United player has dived and been gifted a penalty kick, just one of many. Football is corrupt / broken / full of shiet biased officials / driven by biased media agendas. Everything is set up for clubs like United and Pool to succeed.

United players are cheats, as are Pool`s, but they'll never get called out on it by their hoards of former players that infest the media, instead they are gifted penalty kicks and regarded as `clever players` like what we saw tonight. These two clubs are the best supported. they are a sponsors and competition owners dream, they will generate so much money with these two clubs doing well. In times of recession, if you had to pick two clubs to be successful, you would pick these two. What a load of facking bollocks 'football' is these days.

Yep, we own the world mate, English refs, European refs the lot. The UK are thinking of putting us in the next world cup, we would win it easily with the refs help <ok>

LOL what a comedian you are - If that's a penalty in last nights match then I (i am an FA qualified ref) will be giving 10 penalties in every match, because that is a coming together in the box the defender does not foul Martial. No one is saying that every penalty that you get is not one, but you do get a lot of 'soft' ones of which tonights is a good example. One would have thought that VAR should have reduced the chances of this happening but no its been almost completely useless in the field with of course one exception the 2nd one that Moss couldn't wait to give at our place but even VAR couldn't support that one, though it did allow the one at Villa awarded in almost identical circumstances (IE Fernandes falls over and ref points to the spot), they even admitted VAR got it wrong on the same evening that they also admitted VAR was wrong not to award us one when our CF was pushed over in the box, but hey we are just all paranoid that we don't get decisions and you do but the facts state that you get more penalties in one season than we do in 3.

And don't throw that old chestnut that you attack more than we do, that may have held water in the Fergie era when you were a much better side than us, but since his departure that is no longer the case so the law of averages would suggest that as the gap in quality has closed so would this disparity in penalties awarded but strangely enough it hasn't.

You put it very well - I am guessing Diego will either ignore or pass off with a lame joke.
The interesting thing to me is why. None of us really believe they are paying off refs - even though it really, really looks like it sometimes - so there must be an inbuilt, involuntary deference to Utd and I would suggest Liverpool. Possibly to any team in the premier league that wears red. The sooner this is more widely discussed, the sooner referees can hopefully start to address it. I am in the unintentional camp, I hope that is the case.

Something is very fishy and has been for years, these referees are making incorrect decisions that a 5 year old could get right, even after reviewing the incidents several times on a video, I refuse to believe these comical decisions are purely down to incompetence. It is not just penalty decisions either, just see all the other decisions etc the likes of Pool and United are let off with, red cards, second yellows, handballs, professional fouls etc etc, it all adds up to a myriad of influenced results. Unfortunately, because it benefits the media`s two darling clubs, it will never be questioned and disappear down the big black hole of media bias.
