It would be good if you could get a ban for diving afterwards. Garnacho fell like he was shot and without contact at least ten times. He even had the nerve to roll and cry in pain. The referee was either an idiot or corrupt.

I know this sounds like sour grapes but refereeing was so freaking biased.
 
Onana would still be down now with that challenge Pickford had on him
With 20 utd players, subs and staff still in the refs face.
Jordan just kindly points out his wounds to the ref and carries on.
Maguire twice was fairly out muscled and bullied off the ball by Tarks and Beto. You'd think he'd been the victim of a murder attempt the grief he gave the ref.
We are such a nice and unmoaning team😅👌

VAR is a complete and utter joke. Good system destroyed by grossly incompetent jerks and not helped by an incompetent referee who will overrule his own decision which he had a clear and obvious view of just to stick up for his mates in the VAR room.

Needs binning altogether because there simply are no competent people in English football to run it properly.

I'm totally convinced it's not incompetence, but motivated and driven by sheer corruption. They don't even try to hide that anymore.

It's part of the reason we continually get screwed by VAR and officaldom. We take it willingly and pliantly.

Correct. Slot, Klopp, Alex Ferguson, Mourinho etc etc would have been demanding a reply, calling them out, suggesting integrity, putting pressure on them... and then benefiting in future games

I don't know why a dive is needed for a shirt pull. It's a weird one. Did the ref give it because of the shirt pull or the dive?

The Ref gave it because he thought Maguire had pulled Young down, after reviewing footage from a couple of angles VAR saw Maguire didn’t pull his jersey. So they called the Ref over who reversed the decision.

What they did miss was the reverse angles which showed very clearly it was de Ligt who pull his shirt twice and dragged him down. The overdramatic leap by Young, and his past history of falling over in the box probably didn’t help him I assume

Out of interest was it a handball for that Fernandes freekick?

Yes it was. As soon as Doucoure lost the ball I knew he was going to do something silly. He chased back and committed a stupid foul when another player had it covered. Then he stuck his arm up to block the free kick when it was going way over the bar. Then Pickford lined his wall up badly with gaps in it, and then tried to cover the space behind his wall instead of just covering his own side which would have been a straightforward save. A catalogue of errors .

In a situation where two freakin players are tugging your shirt and impeding your progress wouldn't you want the officials to see the damned contact? Either way he was unfairly held back. The way he went down should have absolutely no bearing on the call. The contact was clear and even if you wanted to argue against the original call there wasn't nearly enough evidence to suggest it should have been overturned. It's a clownshow.
