Some baffling second half decisions, although I'm not sure Makkelie was behind them.  First was the Stones foul and caution, but I'm sure the AAR gave that as there was a very long delay be the referee.

Last minute disallowed goal, again I think the AAR has got involved.  If it is for a foul on De Gea that is ridiculous as there is no way that was a foul.  If it was for Welbeck pushing the defender I'd be more supportive, but I'm struggling to see how the AAR could have seen that and Makkelie showed no indication initially that he wasn't happy with the goal.

Think that's looking at excuses for the referee that is a bad error from a FIFA ref and was a clear goal. Mistake by the GK

Sunday Times suggests that Welbeck deliberately stepped into De Gea's path as he went for the ball and De Gea then spilled the ball after colliding with Welbeck. Soft but correct decision in their view. Hmmm, not sure I agree, and at that level, De Gea should not be spilling the ball for any reason. Either way, I agree the ref seemed totally unsure what to do next and relied on the AAR for help. A poor end to the game on his part.
