Regardless of the error from the referee, Haaland was in his face which is not allowed. I suspect he may well get fined for that. And had he been booked at the time he couldn’t complain
Top level players set the standard that filters down the leagues. I hate it when Fernandes at the rags berates the officials and he is the captain who is allowed to speak to the referee. Or Arsenal or Chelsea or an Arsenal who surround the referee. So for me it’s no different when one of ours does it.
Doesn’t excuse the poor decision of course. But football has lots of 50/50s and much bigger errors go against you and you have to take it. It’s in the post match presser that the time for calling it out. A referee will extremely rarely change his mind without VAR intervention anyway
We’ve had two howlers go against us in the last two games. Maybe we’ll get one in our favour at Villa?

I’ve never played professional football so I can’t imagine the high emotions that run when something massive is on the line. It’s their livelihood. Haaland didn’t run over the ref, he was stood right there. Imagine him just shrugging his shoulders and just going “ahh well” and walking off.
Your point about Fernandes I could understand, if Haaland did this every week. But for it to happen once, because of cheating, I can totally understand and don’t blame him at all.

I saw a comment on BBC saying that if Haaland was in a normal job he’d be dismissed for shouting at someone. If a referee was in a “normal” job they’d be sacked every week for making mistakes and general incompetence.

I'd recommend everyone watch the clip. 6 mins odd long and in it they mention on multiple occasions how they feel sorry for the referee and how "technically he did nothing wrong".
Truly bizarre footage.
So, based on watching that clip, I think the only fair thing to do is formally apologise to the referee for putting him in this situation ?

Then you have Ally Mccoiat on talk sport saying “it’s refreshing to see the ref make a mistake and VAR not getting involved “
I kid you not !
