Here are some memorable ones

  • Matteo Kovacic somehow not getting sent over against us on Sunday
  • Christian Norgaard being offside during the buildup during Brentford’s equaliser against us at home last season somehow not being taken into account
  • Martinelli’s disallowed goal at Old Trafford away last season (even PGMOL admits Odegaard did not foul Eriksen in the buildup)
  • Dan Burn’s foul on Gabriel denying us a penalty (Newcastle at home last season)
  • Son somehow avoiding a booking for elbowing Rob Holding during our 3-0 to Sp*rs in the 21/22 season
  • Several penalty shouts not given

    I agree that you don’t have to put in a challenge to foul someone, but if that’s foul contact, how do you differentiate between what Luiz did and the scenario I described, where an attacker just runs into a defender and wins a pen? Intent? If you must imply intent in that situation, why not here? Neither player intends to make contact, it’s incidental

      I’d have to see a specific scenario to say. I mean you can do hypotheticals the other way and say if these aren’t deemed a foul then what’s to stop defenders running directly behind attackers that are through in goal and hope the attackers foot catches their leg causing them to trip?
