    You're right, but thats whats **** though. Its a contact sport. Just because you make contact with someone, doesnt make it a foul as far as I'm concerned. Id hate to be a defender nowadays, I woudnt even bother tackling in the box. Even if I had a fart building up I would wait till full time to release it.

    I completely agree that it shouldn't be a pen and that he dived. However, under current rules it is a pen if he makes contact. It's a joke, just like the handball interpretations. That is down to the stupid rules in place at the moment though more than the refs. The inconsistency however is down to the refs and needs looking at sharpish.

    I’m not saying Perez was right and not Wilson either. Cheating is cheating.

    You have that dive. Then you have the elbow. Ones a pen. The other isn’t. It’s not fair.

    well there you have it
    as seen over the weekend it wasn't just us with the selective VAR issue
    Sheffield UTD had a cast iron pen turned away and not looked at by VAR
    Fulham goalkeeper wiped out the player in added time, caught him above the shins - no pen, no sending off and no VAR

    the contact if any was on his right foot he then placed his left foot down, planted it firmly then he flicked his left foot up to fall over -- dived

    I’ve just watched that one aswell. Clear pen again. If the pens had gone the way they should have we potentially could have been 6 points better off than 3.

    No it isn't, though. This is why the takeover has been such a ****ing farce - NUFC fans are pretty much the worst when it comes to feeling hard done by. We've been ****ed by Mike Ashley, repeatedly, yet will constantly find others who also want to **** on us from a great height. Newsflash - there is no-one else killing us, just Mike. The league/ref's have ALWAYS been biased, but Mike's the reason everything else has failed.

    Every club except one or two (definitely Man U, possible Liverpool) feels hard done by. Some clubs had to buy their way in, but those two are OLD money.

    Man Utd were feeling hard done by last week against West Brom, Maguire was whinging about not getting a pen for a dive when he was offside

    You are right, it was a pen and card - the on field ref and VAR came to the same conclusion not to award either - yet here's the thing, back in December when we played you we were the victims of an error by the on field ref and VAR. A penalty was awarded for a foul that was outside and Anderson was incorrectly shown a red card [rescinded on appeal ] - an incident that you correctly called I remember. The two events have balanced themselves out so the 3 point difference is right

    We didn't win

    I get what you're saying though.

    I think the its balances itself out argument is one of the most moronic arguments ever though.

    It's not based on anything calculated... I'd love to get some actual research on that though, but I'm fairly certain that it doesn't balance out at all.. It'll be inconsistent for every club in every season since the game began.

    Why??

    You'd look at the results and then, regardless of what they said, you'd decide you were right anyway <laugh>

    Actually that's not the case... I just know I'm right about this... It's a ridiculous theory

    Right again, but not without being verbally abused
