Here are some memorable ones
- Matteo Kovacic somehow not getting sent over against us on Sunday
- Christian Norgaard being offside during the buildup during Brentford’s equaliser against us at home last season somehow not being taken into account
- Martinelli’s disallowed goal at Old Trafford away last season (even PGMOL admits Odegaard did not foul Eriksen in the buildup)
- Dan Burn’s foul on Gabriel denying us a penalty (Newcastle at home last season)
- Son somehow avoiding a booking for elbowing Rob Holding during our 3-0 to Sp*rs in the 21/22 season
- Several penalty shouts not given
The one where sokratis scored the late winner but it was disallowed for a foul by chambers.
I hope I have the right players there. But it would have given us a late winner.
tbf we’ve had some dodgy decisions made in our favour too
-Our opening goal vs Liverpool at home last season (Saka was potentially offside but lines were never drawn due to some technical error)
-Same game, we could’ve (and probably should’ve) had a penalty given against us from that Gabriel handball
There’s probably some more, but those are two that stand out to me. VAR badly needs reform
I know this has been rehashed a thousand times on this sub, but the fact that Luiz didn’t make contact with the runner, the exact opposite, baffles me. Just how much space is a defender supposed to allow an opposing player in possession? I’ve tried making sense of it but I just can’t.
Objectively it’s when they forgot to check offside, but subjectively David Luiz vs wolves
Luiz’s was ridiculous.
First off completely accidental the two players were running.
Secondly if you want to give a penalty for that then fine sure - I guess Luiz did by law trip him when he was in the box (although completely non intentionally)… But to send him off for that is crazy. The only justification is that he’s the last defender… But there’s no common sense at all. It was two players tripping each other up running towards the ball without meaning to touch the other.
Crazy decision
Ederson foul vs Odegaard 21/22
Pre VAR, but the Rooney dive in Game 50 still makes me mad nearly 20 years later
Brentford offside… Like the others are subjective calls… This one was just a complete failure to even perform the steps required to make a call
