Mmmmmm......

We had a couple of free kicks given against us that were probably not. Otherwise, excruciatingly disappointing but nobody to blame but ourselves.

The whistle had gone - surely that signals the end of the game.

Prob a pen but it depends what you call ‘close’. But **** me we’re good to watch now. How we didn’t WIN that let alone draw, I’ll never know.

I've got to be honest I'm ****ing fuming after that. I hope the boys heads stay up as the performance was probably one of our best in the Prem, despite losing.

Maupay's had the ball headed at him from 1 yard, it is probably a pen and why is he raising his arm like that, but firstly, why is the game still playing, and secondly, how has our pen been disallowed early in the half - granted it was soft but once it's given it's not a clear and obvious error.

Can’t believe I have witnessed arguably one of the finest Albion performances to be denied by JOKE refereeing.:shrug:

Refereeing was fine. the odd error, as there always is. We would have had a penalty that wasn't prior to VAR.

As frustrating at this is, I think we only have ourselves to blame.

We dominated the game and should have put it to bed, but kept hitting the post.

Each time we scored, we lost focus and conceded again shortly after.

We dominated play, had more shots on target.

The match was in our hands and it is frustrating we could not win it against a very ordinary Man Utd side.

March scored with 30 seconds remaining. The ref added an extra two minutes. Why?????

Because they’re Man U. Simple.

You can’t hit the post / bar that much - incidentally the most in any PL game since OPTA began, and expect to get something out of a top 6 side. With that and lack of concentration after we score then we only have ourselves to blame

So my understanding is that the referee blew for full time and therefore couldn't go to VAR?

What I have read is that it should have been a single whistle to indicate VAR.

Whatever though it was bloody stupid by Neal and by us to twice just let them cut through us straight after scoring

Fergie time. Why we were playing in the 98th minute is beyond me.
