# PGMOL ADMITS COSTLY BLUNDER – BUT WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US?

Right, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. PGMOL has come out and admitted they got it completely wrong – our second goal against Nottingham Forest should’ve been chalked off for handball. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Look, I’ll be the first to say it: if it was handball, it was handball. We don’t want to win like that. United should be above that, and honestly, it cheapens what Michael Carrick and the lads have built this season. Our Head Coach has turned this club around with proper football, not dodgy decisions going our way.

But here’s what really winds me up – where was VAR? What’s the point of having all this technology, these endless reviews that kill the atmosphere in stadiums, if they’re still going to miss blatant handballs? Forest have every right to be fuming. If the tables were turned and we’d been on the receiving end, Old Trafford would’ve erupted.

The frustrating part is we didn’t need the controversy. Carrick’s got this team playing with belief and structure again. We’ve got Champions League football secured for next season, finished third after inheriting an absolute shambles in January, and beaten all our major rivals along the way. We’re good enough to win these matches fairly.

An apology after the fact means nothing to Nottingham Forest – the three points are ours, the table doesn’t get rewritten. But it does fuel this narrative that United get favourable treatment, which is absolute nonsense when you look at some of the decisions that have gone against us over the years.

What we need now is consistency. Proper officiating. And for our boys to keep doing what they’re doing – playing football the right way under Carrick and letting our quality speak for itself.

Come on United! 🔴
