There were milliseconds between Friend supposedly blowing the whistle and Villa putting the ball in the net. Surely commonsense should have relented and the goal allowed to stand. Friend had a shocking match and the cunts in the refs association unsurprisingly backed him up. What I want to know is why didn't Friend go to VAR? Hoping that things even themselves out and we get a favour back at a later match.
To disallow the goal was a travesty, there was no prior infringement. There was no VAR intervention because Friend gave a free kick against Villa. Moreover, I don't think Friend blew the whistle until after the ball went in the net if at all. Complete balls up.
I have no idea on what grounds Friend was backed up, Grealish did not commit a foul, nor did he feign one.
