       Not saying you are wrong but we have seen less so called clear
       and obvious errors referred 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 first sighting, 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.

       A very good post claretman. I disagree with you but what I will
       say is that Oliver thinks it is a penalty on his first viewing
       and instinct and who is to argue with that?

       Couldnt agree with you more on olivers decision on first viewing
       and instinct.
       I disagree on this occasion with the var, whom i would say didnt
       review thoroughly.

       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.

       In the first half he deemed a similar pull back by Shaw on
       Traore outside the box to be a foul (although he should then
       have booked Traore for his dive in the area).

       Pogba's fall seemed to be caused by him catching the back of his
       own leg; whether this was self inflicted, caused by Luiz or the
       result of a simple coming together is difficult to say from the
       clip I've seen.  In general however, my comment on what I have
       seen this season is that the Laws no longer give an adequate
       definition of a foul and it becomes, effectively, "if the
       referee thinks it's a foul then it's a foul".  VAR seems more
       like a toss of a coin as to whether to intervene or not but with
       some referees they seem to lose the coin.

       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.

       A former international referee, not averse to criticising
       current officials has a different opinion to you.  I think
       readers may take your posts more seriously if you were not so
       dogmatic with your views.  It is allowed to differ you know.
       @RefereeHalsey gives his view on Manchester United’s penalty
       against Aston Villa...
       Sorry, can't copy link but headline is "Ref right, Luiz was
       wrong"
       Irishref1985, as Matic came on as a sub. I'd be surprised if it
       was his tenth foul.  It was at least his third however and he
       could have been carded for a previous foul in its own right.
       McTominay could have had a YC first half for 4 fouls but he was
       wisely substituted as he was playing badly anyway.
       I thought Grealish was superb for Villa, and frankly must be a
       nightmare for referees.  You could argue he is unfairly targeted
       and referees should take
       appropriate action sooner.  On the other hand, he is in
       possession so much and is such a tricky player he is going to be
       fouled a lot. Then again, referees may be thinking to what
       extent is Grealish initiating or exaggerating contact to win
       free kicks from which Villa can be so dangerous.
       That said, I'm disappointed my team conceded 22 fouls to Villa's
       10 and had 4 YCs and Villa none.  That's not a criticism of
       Oliver whose foul detection was fine I thought, although I agree
       one or two cards might have been produced earlier.  Some of the
       fouls were tactical or even cynical, but others frankly were
       just very poor attempts to challenge and tackle properly. And
       it's something United need to do something about.  Clocking up
       YCs can come back to bite if key players start to get
       suspensions.

       Referee in the middle was Paul Tierney, who if he couldn't spot

       Shambolic is a better word.  This is what VAR was supposed to

       I wonder if you’ll be commenting on a “shambolic” decision by
       Coote to award a pen for Spurs. Or maybe not because it’s gone
       in your favour?

       Might he have done so if it had happened at the other end? Just
       asking what I am sure some of us may be feeling.
       The gods are certainly favouring Utd this season - penalty after
       time v Brighton, 98th min winner v Wolves and a few other 50/50
       decisions.
