BREAKING NEWS: live from Fabrizio Romano, HOW ON GOD’s GREEN EARTH HAS THAT PENALTY AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED JUST BEEN DENIED. PURE CORRUPTION. FIFA has just made public some extremely bad news for the referees and officials who officiated the Manchester United vs Chelsea game. They lost their employment as a result of the fraudulent denied penalty on Rashford against United, which led to their removal from their posts.
In a surprising move that has sent shockwaves through the football community, FIFA has announced the immediate dismissal of referees and officials responsible for overseeing the recent Premier League match between Manchester United and Chelsea. This decision follows intense criticism of a controversial call in which Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford was denied a penalty—a ruling that some, including prominent figures like Fabrizio Romano, have openly called “pure corruption.”
Football analyst Fabrizio Romano voiced his frustration in real-time, posting heated comments online. “HOW ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH HAS THAT PENALTY AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED JUST BEEN DENIED. PURE CORRUPTION,” he exclaimed, reflecting the anger of Manchester United fans and many football commentators worldwide. The incident has sparked a major debate across social media, with fans expressing disappointment and outrage over the decision, which they feel undermines the sport’s integrity.
In reaction to the public outcry, FIFA acted swiftly, removing the officials from their positions and terminating their contracts. In an official statement, FIFA acknowledged the contentious nature of the decision and addressed the growing concerns about fairness in officiating. FIFA’s action underscores the organization’s commitment to maintaining high standards in professional football and represents an unusual admission of what it described as a “failure in upholding the standards of integrity expected in the sport.” They stressed that such errors, especially in critical matches, cannot be tolerated given their significant impact on teams, players, and fans.
The incident occurred when Rashford was fouled in the penalty box by a Chelsea defender—a play many believed warranted a penalty and a yellow card. However, after reviewing VAR, the on-field referee chose not to award a penalty, leaving United fans and players frustrated. The backlash was swift, with calls for increased accountability and suspicions of potential officiating bias.
One passionate Manchester United supporter expressed relief at FIFA’s decision: “That was a clear penalty; it deserved a yellow card. For Manchester United, I’m fighting for justice. We’re glad that justice has finally been served, and hope this sets an example for other referees. Well done!” Fans celebrated FIFA’s decision, hoping it establishes a standard for handling similar situations in the future.
