How did Leicester City finish yesterday’s game with up to 10 players on the pitch. Faes will probably feel hard done by for being sent off for 2 bookable offences after his teammates did the following:

1) Ricardo Pereira with an x-rated studs up stamp high on Joao Felix’s ankle (the ref did not even book Pereira let alone give him a deserved red card); and

2) Armatey went in on Havertz with a high and wild karate kick to Havertz’s chest. It was so fierce and reckless that it stripped skin off Havertz’s ribs and stomach. Again, the referee did not even award a FK, let alone a card.

VAR ignored these offences, yet recommended Casemiro’s red card today for a far more tame challenge.

The yellow card to Pellistri in the 29th minute of today’s Europa League match against Real Betis was tragi-comic. Pellestri was running with the ball ⚽️ but slipped and fell over. While he was on the ground, Betis’ midfielder Guido Rodriguez slid in and kicked Pellistri as he was on the floor.

So the ref booked…Pellistri. It was utterly mindless. 🤦🏽

…and another shocker from the 0-0 draw between Man Utd and Southampton at the weekend. VAR refused to tell the referee to review this blatant handball by Southampton’s Armel Bella-Kotchap in the area. Bella-Kotchap actually bent down on the ground and stopped the ball with his hand! Yet no penalty.

Bruno Fernandes is suspended for the 2nd leg of the Europa League QF against Sevilla after the referee Felix Zwayer booked him for this handball. This is such a harsh decision as the Sevilla player blasted the ball against Bruno from point blank range and it hit him on the elbow. What on earth is Bruno supposed to do with a shot like that blasted at him?

How on earth did Diogo Jota stay on the pitch after this dangerous kick to Oliver Skipp’s head? Skipp was bleeding from a head wound and had to be substituted as he was so badly hurt by Jota's kick.

Studs up knee high tackle by Bruno Guimares. Could have been red on another day.

Stonewall penalty yesterday not given (not even sent to a VAR review). Romero of Spurs had his hand in the air like he was waving to someone in the crowd. Hand away from the body, enlarging the body’s silhouette 👤- it ticked all the boxes for a penalty.

The real penalty was the Casimero, Mason Mount double pivot.

That was an absolutely appalling decision. The score was 1-1, Ake headed the ball ⚽️ and Akanji was standing in an offside position in front of GK Leno. Akanji actually jumped over the ball and made Leno hesitate as he went to dive for it. How on earth is Akanji deemed not to be interfering with play?

Even Haaland admitted it was offside. I do not blame Fulham and Marco Silva for fuming.

This was a turning point. From there I knew United will lose. Even the VAR image with the blue line was screaming no offside.
