Interview with him in the Mail. He said: "It’s a bloody disaster. I watched the Leeds versus Burnley game the other week - Burnley had a goal disallowed when their own player was fouled by the goalkeeper. Unbelievable."

Unbelievable is one word for it.

I was trying to imagine if he was still managing and VAR turned a decision against him

there's so much knowledge and experience to be gained from ex managers and players and yet seemingly it's left to Mike Riley (who was always crap) to figure it out

His post match interviews would’ve been entertaining!

He wouldn’t have reacted well if Giggs was given offside when Viera gave him the ball

Thought he was in charge of it, the amount of soft penalties Utd get.

We can rule out Devils Advocate being Alex Ferguson then.

And bog eyed klopps been kickin off too
Theyve had more pens than united in the stats

Mike Riley is from Leeds.

I once saw him singing along with 'Marching all Together' before kick off.

United have had twice as many penalties awarded as Liverpool in the league since the start of 2019 season up to now.

Perhaps, VAR was still reviewing it?

What ive posted is factually correct and followed on from the original post

Nice of you to pop by though HMV47

What I posted was factually correct too.
Your statistic was completely irrelevant to a subject which is about penalties being awarded whilst VAR has been in operation.

Phelan that

I think we all agree that SIr Alex was correct. What annoyed me was that Michael Oliver whom ive aways felt to be a fair and reasonable referee didn't correct Jones, unfortunately a case of sticking with the boys. Needless to say my estimation of him has reduced considerably.
