VAR, Refs and Linesmen | General Discussion

The fact that every opposing player and coach sees how bad Onana is in the air and that he is incapable of catching or anticipating the trajectory of the ball is not the ref's fault. At this level if you have a weakness everyone will expose it.
That was not a foul and Bruno's yellow was deserved.
We lost because we were bad, not because of the ref.

It’s not an either/ or, though. The team made some mistakes but these were certainly exacerbated by ABU refereeing, and it wasn’t just today. There is a marked and clear tendency to feck utd over when it comes to 50/50 events, which are consistently given in favour of our opposition. That’s the only consistent thing, I would add, as the rules are applied to utd and our opponents quite differently.

No offence but I think you're the first person to read the rulebook in years. The refs don't, the players don't, the fans don't and the pundits dont.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm getting at. What's the point in having rules if they aren't followed and people don't even know they exist?

Not really they just stood their ground.

As a keeper you should be getting players in there to protect you. Focusing more on any potential contact with a player than the ball is what leads to goals like this.

He needs to be stronger, get players around him and give himself space to attack the ball. He does none of these things.

How would it help to have more players in front of the keeper? 6 yard box used to be keepers zone where you cant really touch keeper. Im most annoyed that we havent realized it and use it on rare times we get corners, maybe because we dont have anyone to deliver the ball there

Second yellow no?

I can understand the moaning if Fernandes had been given a straight red but there's enough there for a second yellow for sure.

Didn't see much wrong with the goal either, Onana isn't getting that even if there's no one behind him.

The first yellow card should never happen because there was a clear foul by a Wolves player about 10 seconds before. The ref doesn’t give it and Cunha goes on a counter run. Bruno does what all players do and breaks the counter with a foul. His second looks soft as well but it is high. He should know better being on a yellow card.

That Duran decision is awful. How do they not understand what’s happened there?

I was actually o.k with it. He was getting frustrated with some of our passes so a tussle with a CB and one of those things where he wanted to vent some anger. Problem is the visuals on looking like he was raking his studs down the back of Schar at real speed and not making it like he was trying everything to get his foot out of the way.

Seems we're appealing it anyway so see what comes of that.

His left foot quite clearly slips and not only that but he then clearly turns his ankle. This causes his balance to go and he has no control whatsoever on where his right foot then goes. No chance it’s deliberate. You will get that one rescinded.

Because they are your players who are their to protect you as the keeper and create space for you to come and attack the ball. It's something you do on corners at all levels of the game. I swear it's like some people have never actually played football on here at times.

Onana did what Bayindir did last Thursday, no protection around him, initial positon is poor, he stepped towards the direction the ball was coming, in this case he also pushed the Wolves player and because of it he's trying to jump backwards to claim the ball and it goes over his head. Then he tries to claim a foul because he knows he fcuked up. It's rubbish goalkeeping.
