Michael Carrick goes in on the officiating & VAR: “It's clear [Stuart Attwell]'s definitely got one of them wrong because he's given one penalty for us for the same thing that he's not given. There's a two arm grab. So Maguire's one he gives the second one on, Amad's he doesn't. Which is, I think it's almost identical really, if you two hands on someone in a box and they go over and they're in control of the ball. For me it's two penalties, but be interesting to see which one they acknowledge is wrong, whether the one we got or the one that we didn't get. And it's a huge moment and you don't give it. They go down the other end and score and then becomes all of a sudden, oh, it needs to be a bigger penalty penalty to overturn just because they scored, when actually it's a penalty and it should be a penalty if you already give one. So a bit baffling really to make sense of that. And because they score, then the game flips a little bit and changes. And then we ended up, I thought we defended with the 10 men after all that very well. And the boys coming off the bench and finishing the game really strong. So that was a big positive for us to take the point in the end because we've seen them win late here and so we take that. But the penalty one is just astonishing. I have to say, one of them must be wrong.. Once it's done, it's done. You know, I think you can have all, all the conversations in the world about could it have been this, could it have been that? I just think, you know, surely if they've already just given everyone and agree that was a penalty, surely the next one should be a straightforward one. As I say, one of them's got to be right or the wrong or whatever, do you know what I mean? But after it, it's no point [apologising] whatever comes. Whether they apologise or don't, it's done now.” [@BeanymanSports]
