It was the same ref today who didn't send Pickford off against Liverpool. Was that a correct decision Adam? Does PGMOL's lack of public censure for Oliver afterwards mean it was the correct decision? Pickford should have at the very least got a booking for a reckless tackle, but most observers agreed that it should have been a red for a dangerous tackle with unnecessary force that put his opponent at risk.In any case, VAR is supposed to overturn clear and obvious errors. Whatever you think, the decision wasn't clearly and obviously wrong, so the penalty decision should have stood.
I'd change your 'get' to 'touch', Nev. He didn't get it, he missed the challenge he went for, it touched him as an attacker played it back past him.
I didn't watch the game live, all I've seen is the slow motion clip after the event but when I saw it I genuinely thought "fair enough". He barely, barely touches him. The dive is embarrassing. I get those have been given and this was in real time but I don't think we've been hard done to there.

It just hasn’t happened previously. Konsa on Fernandes come to mind, but I’m sure there are plenty of other examples. I’ll admit, I don’t know all the rule nowadays, but the fact you seem to be able to make a fairly decent argument for both outcomes makes it strange that the decision was changed.

Agreed it could have gone either way so probably not clear and obvious error but for me the outcome wasn't an injustice. The Man United penalty against us last year definitely is one that should have been overturned but the fact it wasn't doesn't make what happened yesterday wrong.
