Just watched the Manure highlights on motd. Female pundit said definitely a penalty because the shirt pull continued into the penalty area. Both her and the referee should look at the laws of the game. The initial shirt pull and foul started outside the box so should be a free kick. It’s like saying a player was fouled outside the area initially but, as he actually fell in the penalty area, a penalty should be awarded!!

Just watching it on MOTD now.  Highly dubious decision to rule out Fulham's goal as well.

That one was the biggest issue for me. Ridiculous decision.

No, they're spot on, the rule for shirt pulling is that it's a penalty if it carries on into the box.

Yeah. It's not the same at all. Hopefully they're consistent with it now...

I agree, absolutely awful, soft and stupid decision.

Except for when it's Morgan Rogers shirt being tugged by a Forest player in the box.

Same ref aswell, as it was for our game at Man U on the last day.

That was shocking. Terrible refereeing.

Isn’t that what Bruno F did to Konsa and he won the penalty?

Did the shirt tug even continue in the box? It looked at first glance that he just threw himself to the floor once he was on the line of the area. ManUre scum homer decision. That and the Chelsea debacle shows us the intention of VAR this season.

Amad Diver definitely has form for throwing himself down in the box as soon as possible. He "conned" the ref for the first one as well which VAR overturned. Funny how he was being tugged back but stayed on his feet, but then fell forward at a very specific point.

"Rangers" deservedly ahead. Celtic haven't turned up.

Wasn't it his arm that was being pulled back not his shirt?

Once again VAR proving to the world just how clueless they are. The referee should be ashamed of his oart in that. For him to announce on the tannoy "careless challenge" is laughable. The Fulham player wasn't making a challenge. The Chelsea player was. He had the chance to watch it on the screen and still managed to get it completely arse about face.
