Martinez is an outstanding keeper but he is one of the worst cheats in the league.  Check ou the reaction of Konsa here to his antics.

Hands up anyone who hasn’t put on a few pounds over Christmas!!

If the offence had been committed outside the area with Bentacur ignoring the ball and grabbing Burn would it have been a free kick?  Of course it would.

With regard to the Pope/Gykores “penalty, could VAR have been influenced by the way the Arsenal player threw himself to the ground like a newly born giraffe on monkey dust??

Bramhall has reffed 11 games in the prem this year and a similar number in the championship. One of those games was Villa’s visit to Southampton when Emery made no complaint about his lack of experience. In fact the ref gave Villa 2 penalties, both of which they missed! 

In the 2019/20 season Villa escaped relegation by one point - thanks in part to the failure of the goal line technology denying Sheffield United a goal which meant Villa drew the game. I don’t recall the club expressing any desire to have Sheffield awarded a goal!

For one of the early posters to say the ref’s decision on Sunday WILL cost Villa millions is, with respect, daft. Bearing in mind that Villa had one shot on target in the game to Man United’s 10, there is absolutely no guarantee Villa would have held out for the rest of the game.

You win some and you lose some Villa. Accept the result with a bit of dignity rather than whingeing.

That’s not what I said. ARs would have to check where head/foot or however else a goal was scored were. Unless you think we have a different offside law now for those without VAR??

It wasn’t obvious because it took a while to decide by the  new technology and I’m not sure how his shoulder was gaining an advantage. Just a suggestion though.

Why did the VAR seemingly spend so long checking for handball?  Surely the offside should have been checked first then handball becomes irrelevant??
