       Was it a penalty, wasn’t it? Another controversial penalty
       decision against Wolves, they must be feeling slightly annoyed
       as that’s at least 4 I can think of this season.

       Player steps across ball, was already falling
       Not a penalty but falls into the "seen them given" so was never
       going to get reversed by VAR

       Similar to last week not sure how much contact there was. Could
       Mr Jones have given himself another second or two thinking time?

       please include this in the subject heading for future reference,
       thanks.

       It’s never a penalty in a million years. I genuinely feel sorry
       for Wolves, it’s bizarre how much is going against them.
       Anyone who knows football can tell you on first viewing that is
       not a foul. It’s a dive, the attacker knows exactly what he’s
       doing.
       So why is Rob Jones giving it? I’ve got a theory that won’t be
       popular on here, but I’ll say it how I see it. I’ve thought on
       more than one occasion over the past few seasons, that if
       there’s one referee who can occasionally get caught up in the
       fervent, baying atmosphere of a home crowd, then it’s Rob. And I
       genuinely believe this is what happened yesterday. The whole
       crowd scream for a pen, and Rob momentarily loses his cool, gets
       a bit carried away and gives it. I honestly don’t believe that
       gets given at the other end. Not because Rob is biased or
       anything like that, but purely for the reasons I’ve stated.
       As I said, on a refereeing site that is full of qualified refs,
       that opinion won’t go down well, but it’s genuinely how I see it
       with Rob.

       I think Gary O'Neil jokingly said in the week that you don't
       want to referee Wolves as you end up in the Championship the
       week after. I think Mr Jones will be the latest referee to join
       this club.
       It's quite incredible how all these decisions seem to be going
       against Wolves. The Sheff Utd player actually played on, no
       appeal from him, bizaare decision. Surely that is a clear and
       obvious error ?

       O'Neil needs to sort the arrogance of his teams defending out.
       The Newcastle situation came about following a woeful corner,
       ironically cleared at the near post by a Newcastle player. His
       defender stalls on the ball for no reason whatsoever and
       concedes the foul when a challenge didn't need to be made.
       This incident is similar. Defend properly and take the decision
       away from the officials.

       That has no relevance on the decisions given. We can't award
       penalties for poor defending.

       The penalty is on the soft side, but we (Sheffield United) had
       two other strong penalty claims in the few minutes prior to the
       one given that fit into the same category of “whatever the
       referee gives will be backed by VAR”. Two decisions went the way
       of wolves and one went the way of SU.
       If Gary Oniel wants to complain about soft fouls then he needs
       to have a word with himself and sort out his own teams antics
       first. Wolves spent the entire game attempting to (and often
       successfully) deceiving the referee. Rob Jones’s performance and
       foul detection unfortunately left a lot to be desired on this
       occasion.

       Jones doesn't half love a penalty, 23 in 57 Premier League games
       is a lot of penalties. Paul Tierney for contrast has given 36 in
       164 matches which is a lot less per game
