Garnacho getting ball there with Rashford free on other side. 100% scoring chance gone. Wierd call.

Just tuned in what have I missed?
Referee motm.
You can be sure that after the wrestling masterclass offered by Chelsea, first booking will be against United.
Colwill could have gotten several yellows so far

I reckon he was off and a trick of the camera made him look on, but yes, everyone knows they're supposed to wait and then suddenly, the dont?
Baffling.
That pundit just said ‘I don’t think VAR could get the right replay’ 
what the actual feck?!
what the actual feck?!They zoom in Martinez touch on Chelsea player and dont show any extra replay on Rashford being taken out with studs. And people think media is equal towards teams. Club needs to ban people.

Was baffled by the comment. It was never a penalty, barely touched the player.
Honestly Martinez one was so nothing.
Mike Dean even said it’s a natural coming together and if anything Martinez was the one who was kicked.Honestly Martinez one was so nothing.
Colwills a girls blouseHonestly Martinez one was so nothing.
Think yous are over reacting. They showed the replay to show it was nothing.
My commentator was much better. Mentioned Martinez barely touched him and he goes down in a second motion, and not even sure why it’s being shown.
Obvious pen denied, Rashford got clearly fouled
Funny, yet no discussion on the challenge on rashford in their box…neither are a pen…but why just show one
Not much to get worked up about in first half but can anybody explain why colwill wasn't booked for blocking onana. Looked the most routine yellow of the day
Same thing that happened to Ref’s Call on the field and not over reffing the match…like last week
That, Caicedo yellow on Bruno, and offside call against Garanacho that could have been a good opportunity
There was a huge push on Casemiro from behind on the initial header anyway. How is that not a clear and obvious foul?
Ahahah Chelsea with only one yellow is comical
Stonewall penalty again. Was expecting it to be taken away.
Honestly comical stonewall.
No Evans rule on that goal or was that even checked? Offside or not?
4 yellows for United to 1 for Chelsea, who has been wrestling players for 90 minutes
Probably the worst refereeing performance I've seen this season.
Every week is a new low
We've had this guy a few times and every time he gives me the impression he's referring a football match for the first time having studied a rule book.
Just seems to be absolutely zero awareness of what actually happens in a football match.

So dirty, should be a red for the intent and because the ball had gone. No need for VAR, ref sees it. In other leagues he'd be off.
The number of times United were fouled and he blew the whistle and gave Chelsea a free kick was unbelievable
He slips. The intent is to stop him going past him, the high contact is accidental.
You're a weapon if you think he's trying to do him.
Sunday league standard referee.
Regardless of if he's trying to "do him" or whatever, It's pretty reckless, and with the studs up I don't think he could have had many complaints if he got a red
He barely touched him. I'm not even sure he made contact.
Doesn't matter. Reds have been given for less. Licha going over to apologise after tells you it wasn't nothing.
Ref was fine. Ugarte was lucky to stay on after committing 5 or 6 fouls post-booking but whatever.
Knee high studs up with the ball 10 yards away, only minimum contact shouldn't save when that kind of tackle can cause a bad injury, endangering safety, reckless.
No need for crap VAR, ref is right there and should show the red, easy call. In Spain or Italy that's what would happen.
It was minimum/no contact. What are you on about?
Why did Martinez make a point to go back and apologise then? What are you on about?
Exactly, it's reckless which is a yellow card. It's not excessive force so it doesn't meet the criteria for a red. There is, as we saw with Bruno, significant mitigation if the contact that occurs is not a result of your own action, and the fact he very obviously slips is that mitigation. If he doesn't then he's in trouble, but that should never be a red.
It tells you he slipped and caught him high accidentally, which you can see in the replay anyway.
Red and penalty for studs up in first half when Rashford went down?
Personally I think it's a textbook orange card. Don't mind VAR not intervening but if the on field ref had called it a red I don't think there could have been any complaints. You can't stud someone that high on the knee; there's a distinction between being reckless vs being high and reckless and this was the latter.
