This whole 'right decision, wrong decision' debate could be resolved overnight if they just changed the rules of the game so that every touch of the ball was judged to be breaking a rule until proven otherwise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A simple, short, cross-field pass could be breaking a rule but the ref hasn't spotted it. Better to stop play and make sure there was no infringement. And don't get me started on the return pass. One-two? Slow down guys let's check one pass at a time!

I didn't see the other 2 games but

the clear trip on Pogba late in the game was a pen and that wasn't even reviewed. I never thought a system designed for accuracy would also balance itself out in a game....

Honestly feels like they just need to clear out the old guard and get some new blood in.

I understand it's hard to see some things in real time, but with the addition of VAR it's just becoming embarrassing for English football.

Fernandes' was closer to being a red card for him than it was a penalty for Utd ffs. The Southampton one was a mess, then there's the inconsistency between the Nketiah/Vardy/Tarkowski incidents.

How embarrassing is it for the PL to have to come out after games and say they made mistakes? Mistakes that could be hugely costly for the clubs involved. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that, but it does make you wonder how they can be that bad, time and time again
