       VARce - Man Utd vs. Villa

       An absolute farce, first PL game I've properly watched since
       Boxing Day, and I refuse to watch any more.  That penalty award
       is just pure rank all round.  Good old Tierney & Oliver involved
       yet again in one of the worst decisions I have ever, ever seen.
       Shambolic is a better word.  This is what VAR was supposed to
       eliminate.... shambles.

       What are you on about?? Luiz trips Pogba's left leg. Yes it
       might be soft, but Oliver couldn't be better placed to see it!

       Luiz actually doesn't touch him, your eyesight must be awful!
       Pogba actually kicks his own calf!!  This is a shambles of a
       decision, an absolute shambles.

       This is why our officials have no clue whatsoever.  A player
       actively encouraging diving and they are rewarded moments later.
       Our game is in ruin, it is now insufferable.  A perfectly good
       game spoiled by Michael Oliver and in particular Paul Tierney.
       Last sentence removed - think about language choice

       I felt that this was an okay performance at best overall from
       Michael Oliver.. His decision making on yellow cards was
       appalling. The penalty was very soft. Matic cautioned after his
       tenth foul, Bruno Fernandez committed six and wasn't cautioned..

       Yep, fed up to the back teeth of everyone turning a blind eye to
       such incompetence game-in, game-out and officials destroying the
       game.  That penalty decision tonight is the ultimate disgrace,
       it is a farce and an injustice against Aston Villa.  Did Tierney
       even bother checking it or just decide to go with Oliver's
       incorrect call?  Oh, do you know what, who cares anymore.
       Nobody's brave enough to call it for what is it, a shambles.  I
       am so livid about another shambolic, pathetic decision.

       I thought it was soft but not wrong - there was definitely
       contact between Luiz and Pogba.  It is definitely not a clear
       and obvious error, so Tierney should not be referring it to the
       screen.

       It wasnt the farce that another posted has stated, but on close
       examination i beg to differ, pogba appears to clip his right leg
       With his left clue yellow boot not white. Whether the arm was
       enough of a pull back from luiz i am not sure, very soft. Oliver
       was in a great position and i dont blame him at all but the var
       seemed to complete his check very quickly. As dean smith said it
       looked a penalty all day long on initially, but one of the
       latter replays from the stand looking down the penalty area
       appeared to show otherwise. Perhaps the var didnt have That
       angle available at the time.
       I maybe looking at this through claret tinted eyes, but i am
       usually the first to back the referee when in the crowd.
       Good game, thought oliver carded a few of the utd players ie
       matic and shaw a foul too late but otherwise was
       Always in control as you would expect from one of our top refs.
       Think man utd just about deserved their victory over the 90 mins
       but villa have come a long way in a short time.
