How did the ref not give that straight away?
VAR getting it right for once |  |

Because there is VAR. |  |

A bit like the ref last week for the Maeda non penalty award, he bottled it and left it for VAR.
Refs have a habit of failing to make decisions in the Premier League for that reason. |  |

Awful refereeing, don’t give a decision and let VAR save him.
Too scared to give decisions against a currently top four club…. There were several instances of a City player fouling ours and they got the free kick! |  |

Not sure we can credit VAR. Stevie Wonder would've seen that was a penalty. |  |

The ref was simply not up to it yesterday. You could see both VAR decisions in real time as clear as day. Then on the replay screens of the “goal” etc.
I get the big clubs often get the 50:50s but it wasn’t even that simple he ignored or missed so many things from blatant foul throws to the keeper holding onto the ball too long etc.
The city fans looked like pricks with their bananas too. Just a modern day yellow and green scarf from across the city. |  |

For a moment it looked like City would get the ball in the net before the ref was called to the monitor. Coming soon after another disallowed goal, that would have created an interesting atmosphere... |  |

I was in the home end and City fans around me were moaning about the ref, they all agreed it was a pen in live play, as well as their disbelief that they had a freekick when Leif was fouled. Although it was right in front of us so we had a good view. I would not have been able to hold myself back if we got a last minute equaliser. |  | | |

Didn’t Semenyo pull up injured during that spell too? |  |

I don’t think he did us over, but he reffed our first win last season against Sheffield United, and generally received plaudits for a good display in that game. |  | | |

He refused to give a penalty when recommended to by VAR last season in his 1st game as a PL ref. Maybe that's where you recognise him from. Watching him yesterday, I also thought he'd done us over in the past, but checked his previous Town games. One was Pompey 2-0 Town last season. That was just a frustrating game in general, and he probably gave a decision against us which didn't help the mood. | |

I suspect that the answer is because he really didn’t want to. | | | |

He refereed our first match of the season against Sunderland. Didn’t get much wrong in that game. Seems to be paired with Simon Long this season so that’s two games where we’ve had a locally born assistant. [Post edited 18 Oct 15:36]
