VAR is a match fixing tool
These sh!t refs are walking contradictions, they cost teams points without punishment but when a player does something not nearly as bad where no one got hurt, these refs are quick to pipe up
This one dey smoke . The same refs that didn’t see anything wrong with Bruno’s push
If Mitrovic was English and a Manchester Utd player l really wonder if such heavy handed penalty suggestions and discussions would be talked about. Football is an emotional sport that involves physical contact. To make referees untouchable and almost gods of the sport, will come back to haunt those that are penalizing him now. He will definitely have the last laugh. No one has the right to end a player's career with suggestions of six months or more except the player himself. All this exaggerated talk about Mitrovic's offence needs to stop. He must get his 4 match ban and we move on with life.
As united fan, if FA gonna punish Mitrovic for a long time ban, They should also punish Bruno fernandes too, for pushing the linesman. That's what we call fair. As a captain losing against a rival with 7-0 is a shameful, his behavior toward the linesman is also ridiculous.
FA turning in to NFL LMAO SMH
What about Bruno Fernández? He did the same but of course united pay the officals
half a season ban is complete ludicrous…8 game ban total at worst!
Nothing was saying about Bruno Fernandez
They're really trying to take the attention away of how shite these referees have been
Bottom line, William handles the ball on the line Preventing a certain goal Red cad and a penalty, so why did mitrovic and Silva get upset
ok chief ref , huge penalty for Mitro and in order to save and prevents ref from scenes like this refs should be checked and investigated before and after each game and probably they need to go into quaranteen 7 days piro the game to avoid influence and contacts
I'm not sure what YouTube allows or doesn't so I'll be polite. This is nonsense, players are pple too,, he myt not have done wat u wanted but its really not that bad compared to decisions made by referees that mess up a teams season. Why should this be given special treatment. Wats the objective of the game (protection referees) just bcoz it was against man-u doesn't mean its special
Fernandes should be getting a ban as well for pushing the lines man……
You guys can punish or discipline the players every time something happens but the referees and officials can mess up without any consequences or repercussions or punishment. Double standards everywhere!!!
He wouldn't say that if Mitrovic was British or United player. Double standard!
This Ref support don't say anything when referees make Errors that cost teams points, affect their title aspirations, get them closer to relegation etc. Also, if touching an official is a crime and players should be banned for 186 days, where is Bruno Fernandez ban? He touched an official… Inconsistency will not kill you people….
Some Refs are idiots by making harsh decision. Why the player only need to suffer. More and more errors are made by Refs. Is there no punishment for Refs
Refs have destroyed games too and no one talks about it. They don't get any punishment. This guy was wrong… 6 game ban should be Okay and not half a season. You guys are always UNJUST.. Don't know why
Too harsh seriously. Outside of the mitrovic incident, refs don’t protect players at all. Then they’re forced to take things into their own hands and it gets ugly.
This is absolutely nonsense calling for half a season if they already don't have punishments in place for smthn like this then u can't just make punishments because it suits you. I'm not even a Fulham but I can't help but think if someone more likeable like maybe KDB or Mo Salah did this the punishment wouldn't be severe. Try and hide it as they like but officials and their leaders alike inflict punishment based on who done it remember how Son broke Gomez ankle but someone got his red card rescinded because "he is not that kind of player"
Mitorvic did nothing in that game Manchester United players have did all season in face of ref hands on ref/lineman ref,s need to sort it out can't be rules for one different for so called smaller clubs if you look back over this season United are in ref face more than every club put together one player more than most the kid looks like Rowland rat captain teeth it's a joke punishment for all Fulham should look back at Uniteds games and put it the ifa
You've lost your mind. Half a season for nudging a Ref 😂
Conversation between ref and var should be broadcasted.
FA trying to make refs look like victims. Mitrovic should be punished but half a season is overkill.
I hope the ref recovers. 🙏The therapy sessions will be long and deep And the hospital bills will hopefully be covered by the king of Serbia. I pray for his speedy recovery ♥️
Can we get lifetime bans for referees not explaining on field decisions after games ?
😂
Soonest or later the premier league will become less attractive to watch if these people keep protecting these corrupted referees
181 days!If a player should be banned that long for pushing an official,then the same ban should be given to these referees that are so inconsistent.I'm a united fan and people are going to say bruno should of been sent off against Liverpool.Thats exactly the point I'm trying to make,these referees are wrapped in bubble wrap the way they protected.Half a season is way to excessive.

Bs. Mic the referees up so we hear the conversation between them and the players.
Do your refrees got those strong msgs also when they made poor decisions in matches
Every time a ref is stinking up the place they should get banned half a season
Nah, if you’re coming down that hard there has to be some recourse for referee mishaps that unduly influence the game. Because you can’t tell me these type of escalations aren’t influenced by the belief that ref’s are taking the piss in general with their decisions these last few seasons.
It's really annoying how this game has changed a simple tap a player gets a straight red and when one confronts a ref and the world is all like he should be banned for half a season 😏 that's the problem with the football world being gay😂
They are proving to forget Bruno Fernandes’ push on linesman at anifield 😂😂
thats crazy you cant give refs that much power it wont end well
if he gets banned for that long I'm boycotting. Villa fan
10 match ban is enough, it’s his first offense. Half a season is too harsh I think
Ref interviews will open a lot of cans of worms.
I am sure these Ex Refrees will be singing a different tune if the player in question was English or from one of the Top 5 Clubs
Fine, let’s punish him half a season to make the game better. But at the same time, let’s have referees explaining the decisions they make after the games…it’s all about making the game better.
football cannot accept recent refereeing mistakes with no punishment for their incompetence.
Utd players suffered two near season ending tackles with no red cards for either. but revieved two red cards for incidents which left no injury for anyone.
It the blokes own fault not only did he grab the ref he postured as if he was going to deck him.
