Yes. It's like when a player is punished retrospectively for a violent incident the referee misses. Doesn't help us at the time but the player is then missing games against our rivals. There should be some quid pro quo, such as rescinding one of our players yellow cards. |  |

We don't but some consequence to them making significant errors would encourage them to make sure they are getting the big decisions right and ensure those that don't do so are not refereeing at the higher levels. I would suggest him being demoted to League 1 matches until he has gone a significant period of time without repeating those errors would be quite reasonable. The same would happen to players who made repeated mistakes wouldn't it? |  |

| Presser on 09:09 - Mar 9 by PhilTWTD | Martyn Pert spoke to Kevin Friend, refereeing overseer, confirmation we should have had two penalties on Saturday. Even out? We're going to need some good evidence for that over the next however many games. If you're not in VAR camp, can sound hypocritical, but sometimes so obvious, so was more disappointing than most. Can't afford that decision to drag on, about shofting mindset. |
Shofting mindsets can be a delicate procedure |  | |  |

| Presser on 10:22 - Mar 9 by _CliveBaker_ | I really reject this notion that the only alternative to diabolical referees is VAR. It seems to me that's all we hear now, 'well if you want the referee to get blindingly obvious decisions right we must need VAR'. Balls to that, we should be able to expect referees to get big calls right without VAR. |
I've no idea why the linesman didn't see it and therefore communicate with the ref...for them BOTH not to see the obvious is unforgivable really.. |  | |  |

The lino had a load of players between him and the incident to be fair, but the ref was completely sighted. He was looking right at it when the ball was played over, I don't know how or why he didn't see it. Absolutely disgraceful from that man yet again. |  | |  |

The problem with VAR is that you get the same poor referees making the decisions. We need more accountability for referees, promote and relegate them based on their performance, not just for one game. |  | |  |

Overall yes. However, everyone is human and makes mistakes. Players do and so will referees. My bigger gripe is that VAR doesn't improve decision-making. |  |

They will make mistakes, and we have to accept that. The standard of the officiating is nowhere near good enough though. They make far, far too many. |  | |  |

What has been really frustrating this season is the inconsistency within matches, similar decisions are a foul within one part of the match but fine at other times. The bloke at Derby was particularly bad for that, not making a decision for one five minute spell in the first half but there was plenty of that on Saturday too. The foul we conceded from was a case in point, some contact so Busby is justified in giving the decision but there were plenty of others that were similar that weren't given, even before the penalty at the end. |  |

It's his third MCL injury in three years I said a few weeks back I wondered if he was out for the season I really hope he isn't but they only mentioned MCL a few weeks ago, before that they didn't even mention what his injury was. |  |

| “A few issues”….. on 10:07 - Mar 9 by GlasgowBlue | Nunez was limping in the first half but played on. |
He looked really uncomfortable at one point, really holding his leg/groin area. I seemed to be the only one around where we sit who noticed. I'm glad someone else saw it. I was surprised to see he carried on at one stage |  | |  |

| Presser on 09:43 - Mar 9 by _CliveBaker_ | Wonder who he's referring to. Davis is an obvious one, he was obviously left out of the last midweek and doesn't look 100% to me. Hopefully the rest of the back four and Matty Sewer are OK to go again. Taylor in for Neil would bring some fresh legs in the middle. I'm expecting changes across the forward areas as we often see. Doubt Burns will start, so KM or SWE in. Clarke in from the start I presume, maybe Akpom in the 10 if its too much for Nunez or Mehmeti to go again. Hirst to start I think, he's probably due it.

Id assume Davies too, as he look knackered at one stage Saturday but then burst into life again about 10mins later. But I think Nunez picked up an injury was doing alot of stretching off the ball, abit like Morsy used to when you knew he had an issue but kept playing through it. Tbh I think they're all carrying some niggles at this stage of the season with this run of games its whether they can manage it enough off the field to carry on |  | |  |

We the MCL inner fibres are attached to the meniscus, so its likely both structures affected which is why its probably taking so long. As long as he hasn't done the dreaded "Triage" meniscus, McL and ACL then hopefully back b4 end of season. But 3 injuries of that structure isnt good as itll likely mean scar tissue ( which weakens area) ...fingers crossed eh. |  |

The person operating VAR didn't think Fatuwu spearing Chaplin out of his boots was a foul, let alone a penalty. VAR i trust the people using it... not so much |  | |  |
