exactly, and these stolen two points are going to come into play at the end I think

You best believe this is only the start, many many more on the way. I find it baffling how people saw udt being pushed for a CL place with BS after BS decisions in their favour yet all is still well. I might be crazy but im not dumb, clearly epl is dodgy. BS rules set in, you cant question the refs, you cant raise your voice, fa and pigmol beyond approach, say one bad word and your punished.

But are you sure you won't be celebrating the rule if we win something because of it? 

No because its a bullshit rule,  I don't lower my opinions for the sake of 3 points lol

On the bright side, as long as VAR and corrupted refs are keeping OGS in the job and Utd in a somewhat respectable league position they will never be truly good agan just whereabouts. It looks like the glazers will not splash the cash, sell their dregs or hire a decent manager as long as they consistently reach top 4 with the help of the refs.

ESPN being an American site, hence they are picking a set of rules and not the FA rules. Section 8 of the Fa Rules not mentioning any of what he quoted. Instead the FA Rules - page 140-150 talk about VAR. Read that - and it indicates the decision can not be overturned - VAR Principle 1.10 “if play has stopped and been restarted , the referee may not undertake a review except for a case of mistaken identity or for a potential sending off...”. They would argue play hadn’t “restarted” but that is logically impossible at the end of the game so the “stop” takes precedent

James looks amazing

What does ESPN being an American site have to do with this? Dale Johnson knows the rules but whatever, carry on with your crusade...
