Stuart Attwell - Bournemouth v Man Utd

Surely that’s a pen on amad before Christie goal.
I’ll need to watch it back but looked fairly clear cut on first
glance

If it’s not a pen on Amad then it can’t be a pen at the other
end, which has resulted in a red card. Either give them both or
don’t give either but don’t give 50% of them.

Yep it’s very harsh pen on maguire but it is dogso.
But giving that but then saying amads isn’t sufficient contact
for a foul is a joke.
Poor evening for atwell and Pawson overall

While it's a penalty according the law there is no way the
amount of contact by Maguire would make him fall over. Surly the
amount of contact should be taken Into consideration?

Overall a fair result , but sadly the penalty decisions were
wrong as a previous poster said either give them both or don’t
give either . I just don’t get it , there’s far more contact
from set pieces and Maguire hardly pulled or tugged him no
prolonged contact and certainly not enough to make him go to
ground I thought Attwell was good but let himself down with
penalty decisions Pawson as VAR had a couple of decisions to
make and got them wrong

I've never been totally convinced about Stuart Attwell and this
evening did nothing to dispel that view.
No doubt Webb will justify why Pawson didn't recommend an OFR
for the challenge on Amad but was ok with the Maguire penalty
and red card, and I suppose there is a case for VAR not
intervening in either case. But will Webb try and explain the
inconsistency by Attwell in those decisions?
Unless it was my imagination, VAR seemed to take an awful long
time looking at the Amad incident which does suggest Pawson and
his AVAR were unsure whether it met clear and obvious.

Or whether it was a foul in the first instance based on what
Attwell fed back.

They could clearly see on the screen that it was a foul. So if
he said no foul (perhaps he couldn't see the defender's clear
push) then it is a clear and obvious error and it should have
been a recommendation for an onfield review. Also what input did
the AR give given he was looking straight across the pitch?

This is what happens (and will continue to happen) when you use
VAR for opinion based decisions.

Dermott and Bothroyd in unison that Attwell was inconsistent
over the Amad / Maguire incidents. Both penalties or neither.
I don't think they mentioned another aspect of the Amad appeal
that meant United felt even more aggrieved. Didn't Bournemouth
go straight up the field and equalise?
Yes, I know United have got the benefit of controversial
decisions in the past but that doesn't excuse this poor
officiating.
The more I see the 'foul' on Amad, the more I'm coming round to
the view it was a C & O error and that VAR would have been right
under the protocol to intervene. The problem I guess was that
Attwell appeared to have such a good view it might have been
construed as re-refereeing, but surely VAR can question a
referee's judgement if they believe that
judgement/interpretation of an incident was clearly wrong.
A pity because I watched some excellent refereeing over the
weekend by Taylor, Oliver and Bankes.
