Well done Juan!Clear pen. Never in doubt, just a bit in disbelief it took var to get to that decisionGreat penalty.
Thank feck for VAR.
He's got it
And we're off...Good decision.The right call there. Well slotted away from Mata.YESSSGood pen JuanMatasM fall looks hilarious, proper faceplant
People complain about referee decisions, then when the technology comes along to help, they complain about that
Did I say they got it wrong?Yasssss.
Var Nistelrooy with the penalty.Now that we’ve broken the deadlock I hope the performance improves.VAR didn't give the pen. VAR gave the offside. Ref already thought it was a foul before Fred scored.
The ref didnt go to the monitor to check..
So united scored. Lino gave offisde. VAR was checking if the offside call was right.. If it was, the ref already thought it was a foul.. VAR double checks and makes sure that isnt a "clear error".
Ref gives pen.Correct decision, should not have taken that long really.
I presume as everyone gets more and more used to it, the time will come down.
Getting up at 7:30am on a Saturday is wrong.Good decision but 2 mins was way too long.It took a good minute and a half for BT commentators to notice there might have been a foul.Get in.. they do need to speed up the decision making process though.Took far too long in my opinion, but a good decision in the end.Fair play claiming the pen considering Lukaku is shit at them. Probably wanting to make a stake for his own spot too.Reading pass the ball very wellEasy VAR decision. Mata didn’t even try to pass the ball and was just fouled, so Fred offside doesn’t matter.
The ref didn't signal a pen though or did I miss it?God bless VAR
Kind of agree, that decision could have been made in 5 seconds, it wasn't that difficult.Get McTominay off at half time, stick Mata in the midfield three and get someone on that offers pace on that right hand side!Still fecking hate VARIt was so obvious. Maybe they can employ me as a human VAR.
WTF25 min
Big appeals for another penalty as Sanchez crosses on the edge of the box and the ball hits Yiadom's arm. Stuart Attwell says no. No VAR check this time.Penalty was very much the right call. Have I ever seen Mata miss a penalty? He's just brilliant with set pieces.I think VAR needs to have some discussion to it to get over the delay. So we know what’s being queried just like rugby etc.
Right? Was that linesman sleeping?What a ridiculous decision after two minutes of VAR deliberation. United should be a goal up without the pen. The foul for the pen happened before the goal, so an advantage has to come into play.
There was no offside as Lukaku, who was the only person possibly offside, was not interfering with play.Chants of VAR by the crowd- Status
