    I’d be on suicide watch if I were a Wolves fan. They get fucked by the refs every single week it seems.

      We’d be fucking sixth in the league if all these decisions we’re getting apologies for had gone the correct way

    The refs getting payback for Wolves beating City earlier in the season /s

    Playing devils advocate here a bit.

    I actually thought all 3 penalty’s were penalties. First one Semedo touches the bar but does follow through on to Cairneys foot, it’s soft enough but I’ve seen worse given. Third one i thought Wilson got taken out

    Vinicius definitely should have been sent off. Other than that im not sure if the throwing the corruption word around is fully warranted.

      You’re not getting a red card for Vinicius there. You’re just not. The contact is negligible. It’s a yellow card and that’s it.

      If you’ve seen the replay of the first, you cannot believe it was a penalty.

        I forgot the rules say it’s okay to trip someone as long as get a toe on the ball yourself.

    This is what it looks like when the PGMOL decides that they’re going to make you lose your job.

    1st penalty given after that one angle conclusively shows that he touched the ball and didn’t step on or trip Cairney. Hilarious stuff

      Honest question, what is the relevance to him touching the ball? Romero clearly touched the ball and got sent off against Chelsea…

      Is it just the force of Romero’s kick? Because just touching the ball clearly didn’t cancel his foul

        Touching the ball is usually the biggest factor in a tackle being fair or foul. In this instance, he touched the ball and made little to no contact with the player. That’s just a clean tackle. Romero caught the player high on the follow-through with his other foot, if I remember correctly. Reckless and forceful is always asking for trouble. Getting a touch on the ball doesn’t give you licence to take everything anymore.

    I already said this weeks ago but there’s almost certainly something the officials have against Wolves. I’m not one for conspiracies but come on, this is outrageous.

    It’s good to see other clubs complaining about PGMOL. They’ve been piss poor on “the best league in the world “

    at this point wolves should just walk off the pitch and demand a replay due to incompetence of the refs

      Can someone share a link to a really good slow motion of the first penalty? I have watched it in real time (but not close up) over and over and it looks like it might be a penalty. I could not see conclusively that he got the ball first. I think I need a better replay to understand the controversy.
