Must agree...VAR inconsistent....if DeBruyne's pen for City v. Fulham (he went down theatrically after a pause after being tapped on the ankle) is given then Forest should have been given at least one, if not two, of their own.

KDB its a dive.
After that today no dought in my mind.
Contact wasn’t enough to bring him down so he decided to dive.
I would be fuming if I was a Fulham or Forest fan.

Not a fan then? ?I've got a real issue with Gary Neville and his double standards.
First off as player he was a world class right back for almost two decades and criminally underrated. Defensively solid, a real leader and was one of the first full backs to overlap and be able to cross. His trophies and caps as a player say it all.
As a manager he's been a total failure. Got a job through nepotism at Valencia and failed badly. His time as Hodgson's assistant was a joke and oversaw two of the most embarrassing major tournaments in England's history. He's smartly realised he was useless and packed it in.
As owner of Salford City (backed by the guy who gave him the Valencia job) he's bought promotions and titles by vastly outspending all rivals, exactly what he accuses clubs like Chelsea and City of doing. He's sacked numerous managers, exactly what he preaches against on Sky Sports.
His hotel venture with the disgraced Ryan Giggs has been a failure and is millions in the red, yet he preaches about football clubs getting their finances right and avoiding debt. He's suddenly become some sort of self proclaimed moral compass for working class people yet admits to being a 'champagne socialist' and wears Stone Island shorts and jumpers worth £500 like some 50 year old going through a middle aged crisis.
As a pundit he's gone stale and is getting outwitted by Jamie Carragher on a regular basis and even occasionaly by Jamie Redknapp. He's gone away from the tactical side of it and is deluded to think he's the man to change the way football is run
The stuff about Qatar is just more nonense and icing on the cake. His mate Becks is more dodgy than the Tories and picking up half a billion to be the face of it, yet he doesn't say a word. He's going out there picking up a fortune and cares about nothing workers deaths or rights, just about Gary Neville. The blokes nothing more than a rodent.
At least he hasn’t spat at a young girl tho ?

Exactly this. The push on Yates wasn’t a pen but their penalty is soft as he’s already going to ground when Hendo’s flappy arm appears. But no issue with it being given if he’d been consistent and given the Dennis and MGW ones.

The comments regarding the City penalty in here amaze me, sometimes I wonder what people were watching. I expected a controversial dive by KDB having read some comments in here. It was nothing of the sort. It was a clear penalty, and there were barely any complaints by Fulham players, manager, commentators or pundits. Usually a clear sign there is nothing controversial about it. He was kicked in the back of the leg, penalty.
The Cancelo one was also a penalty, and would then need to be a red. But, I do feel it is exactly the sort of challenge referees let go anywhere else on the pitch these days, saying it is a physical game and allowing play to flow.

He wasn’t kicked in the back of the leg. He was barely touched yet the swan dive came out.
I guarantee anywhere else on the pitch KDB stays on his feet and carries on

Nobody knows what a foul is these days after watching games this season. But that 100% wasnt.
Im sure Darren England is a tad embarrassed after seeing how he was conned.

Is that different to earning the right to go down or the same thing?

VAR is video, VAR assessment should be based upon actual speed video replay…stills especially should not be part of any VAR assessment as a still picture captures a millisecond in time and can tell a thousand lies.

And Emmanuel Dennis dived….for almost exactly the same thing. ?

That’s ok then.
That’s what’s wrong with football , to much money involved.
If that was a Liverpool player you would be up in arms.
Double standards you and Gary Neville.

So they can go through the back of Saka time after time with no punishment, first time he does he gets booked
Cucurella been pinged twice, ref played on once and got away with 2 more so far....

Maybe it was because Sake's was a petulant retaliatory kick out with no attempt to win the ball?
In other news, VAR adds another contender for the most blatant penalty to be ignored...
