The Official 2023/24 Premier League Thread

I said to the wife yesterday that the penalty awarded against us would not get awarded v .United...no surprises tonight then. Corruption at its best

I fully expect them to get awarded one on saturday night at our place
 
Saying it wasn't clear and obvious but Sons was? Game is a joke, refs should be paid based on performances.
 
Wolves boss Gary O'Neil says elite referees manager Jon Moss told him he "could not believe" his side was not given a penalty at Manchester United.

The home side won 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to Raphael Varane's header.

O'Neil was furious his team did not get a late penalty when United keeper Andre Onana crashed into Sasa Kalajdzic and failed to make contact with the ball.

"Jon Moss said it was a blatant penalty and should have been given - fair play to him, he apologised," said O'Neil.

"I have spent a lot of time with him today to understand the new guidelines, trying not to get myself booked in the first game, which I have failed in.

"But fair play to Jon for coming out and saying it was a clear and obvious error - he couldn't believe the on-field referee didn't give it and can't believe VAR [video assistant referee] didn't intervene.

"It probably made me feel worse, actually, because you know you are right. I feel worse about leaving with nothing. Live, I was told they didn't think it was a clear and obvious error."

Moss, who was appointed general manager of England's elite referees within Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) in April, sought out O'Neil between his broadcast and written media obligations.

It is understood PGMOL chief Howard Webb also contacted Wolves officials after the game to apologise for the mistake.
 
Based on what though. Legally he's done nothing wrong. He wasn't even not found guilty, all charges were dropped. Unless they sell him, anything else is verging dangerously close to discrimination.

I'm not defending him, I'm just stating things purely from a legal perspective.

I'm a staunch innocent till guilty man and can only hope the audio of him forcing his GF to have sex because he had already "asked politely", were faked.
 
So those VAR guys from last night have been dropped for this weekend. That will make things right hey!

They'll be reffing Spurs after that, looking to make things right, which will of course go in favour of our opponents.

Well that makes it all right, till the next time. Wouldn't in be a lot easier to just change the rule that teams in red must be given favourable decisions.

Laughable eh

Three Premier League officials at the centre of a decision not to award a penalty to Wolves at Manchester United have been overlooked for this weekend's matches
