Saved

Ace2007

Joke of a ref- instead of Bruno getting a yellow and giving away a penalty - the ref inexplicable changes his mind, then untied go up get a penalty, saved, retake, and he scores.

As a Johnstone and Bruno (C), I have genuinely no idea how to feel about that.

Johnstone came a mile off his line in fairness

Came off it the 2nd pen too, rule is ridiculous

Tbf, Johnstone was a mile off his line, it wasn't marginal

What a rollercoaster of emotion

Emotions have no place in fantasy football

To be fair, the WBA one was a pen, but the Utd one and the retake were both stonewall and correct decisions.

It's not ridiculous, he didn't save it so it didn't need to be retaken again. Consider it advantage

It's even sicker when half the lads on here have Bruno captain! Raging

Mean the rule in general, should be able to come off the line like they used to

so what your saying is, WBA had a penalty overturned incorrectly by VAR, and Bruno escaped a yellow, but every other decision that happen was right and so it's ok?

I think we'd all be in favour of penalties being taken like they used to in the MLS.

What do you mean “it’s ok?”

We can say that two of the three decisions were correct, while also saying he got one wrong. The events aren’t related, it’s not some big balancing act.

Captain wise as OP, it's 22 now.

Callum Robinson off the bar almost a worldie, just after coming on

Good effort from Robinson

Sometime its better to see these things after they happen. BBC sport app told me Bruno had scored, the Fix app told me he was -2, so I just assumed it was a terrible temporary glitch!

If the first decision - the penalty is given it changes the game completely - and who knows what might have happened - there is also fair chance Bruno gets a yellow

In addition for those who have United defenders - it’s a huge let off.

Johnstone 2 save point

@Shanotheslayer, you should have stayed with us!

I deserve this punishment for not believing in him. It was a last minute change to McCarthy in and Wan B in for KWP

He’s lost his place in my team - but he’s on the bench waiting or his bench boost opportunity

Bruno will get the Penandes stuff as usual today, but he has been such a threat today. Could have had a haul of assists.

Half of bruno’s 14 premier league goals are penalties.

He is an fpl points magnet....and not in my team.

Had him for the first 4 gws then sold him on wildcard.. thankfully got him back this week and can’t see him moving off my team anytime soon

Lundstram

As a Ziyech captaining Bruno owner who supports United, my emotions are all over the place.

Ultimately I care more about FPL so I’m pretty sickened right now.

11 points for scoring a penalty at the second time of asking. Sick bucket please.
