But why are they even asking him to look? Even the act of asking him to review the decision implies to him that he’s made a mistake. Why can’t they just look at the video and say it’s clearly not a pen?

That’s a lovely story but it wasn’t a pen so it’s fairly irrelevant.

I’m so angry like, can’t believe it. Should not be allowed to happen.

It’s not just VAR, it’s the perfect storm of VAR replays combined with a terrible handball rule. It’s ruined the game.

Makes no sense at all, ruins the game. Crazy way to manage it.

It’s the penalty decision that cost us.

Albeit it was because he was tired.

I don’t get how there’s no solidarity between players on opposing teams either. They run to the ref appealing for a pen, when it happens to them they’ll be raging. Surely it’s better for everyone if these ridiculous decisions aren’t in the game. Nobody should even be appealing for that.

Can’t believe it. Makes you want to stop watching football completely.

No it's not, the point of a second yellow is that you have accumulated two offences which are the same severity, but which add up to a worse offence. Each one should be identical. To answer your questions, we care because we're mistakenly obsessed with the outcome and not the correct application of the rules. There should be no difference between the first and second yellows, unless there's something in the laws I don't know.

There's also no absolute standard for what is a yellow card and what isn't, is there? What could VAR use to decide?

People vastly underestimate the fixture list. The wheels will come off Man Utd before the end of the season for sure.

Whatever the situation those PSG players must have a bit of nervousness based on what happened last time. Of course it's not at SJP, but I still believe we'll give everything and we can trouble them.

There's no logic in using it for second yellows and not first yellows. Every yellow card should be the same, regardless of whether the person is already booked.

If you'd gone from 'ou est la discotheque' to asking for a date it would've been legendary. Missed opportunity TBH.

Quite a few clubs seem to have sold perfectly good keepers and spent loads on getting someone in who was basically no better. Guess clubs are struggling with the requirements for the modern GK and what they actually want. And what makes someone a good buy.

Not sure we even have the squad spaces for them.

Ah cheers, didn't see it on Instagram.

Have we stopped doing the victory photos? Maybe don't have enough people for it at the moment

People have been saying we should change to a DM almost since Howe arrived, I'm not sure he will ever do it. It's the high press that leaves the gaps, you couldn't press and leave a DM back. In the short-term it might be done I suppose, if the right loan player was available. But I don't see it as something Howe wants to do.

Usually get there about 30 minutes before KO, haven't really had any problems.

I’ve still never queued to get in for more than about 2 minutes. It’s worth remembering that (I think) your ticket opens any turnstile and you can freely walk around the whole ground once you’re in. Guess it’s the top tier that has queues since you can’t walk up when inside?

Just surprised he shot so quickly.

Shooting early is underrated.

Ooo-doggy.
