Referee Michael Salisbury acknowledged he “got it wrong” when awarding Fulham’s first penalty during their 3-2 victory at Craven Cottage, according to Wolves manager Gary O’Neil. and maintains that the errors made by the officials have cost his team SEVEN points.

This season, Wolves have been the victim of several unfavorable referee rulings.

Gary O’Neil insisted that Wolves are seven points worse off this season as a result of incorrect calls made by the referees after Wolves lost to a Willian penalty in injury time at Craven Cottage in another match rife with controversy surrounding VAR.

In a protracted post-match meeting in the referee’s room, referee Michael Salisbury acknowledged that he had made a mistake for the first Fulham penalty, which was given after Nelson Semedo caught Tom Cairney on the edge of the box. O’Neil revealed that three penalties were awarded in the second half, with two going to Fulham.

Salisbury disagrees that the first goal was a penalty because, in his opinion, he should have been sent to the video assistant (VAR) screen and could have reversed the decision based on the pictures we saw together.

“He laments not being sent to the screen to reverse the Nelson penalty.”

O’Neil acknowledged that he felt resentful that more choices had been made against him, but he declined to confront the officials at full time.

Referee Michael Salisbury is said to have told O’Neil giving a penalty for Nelson Semedo’s foul on Tom Cairney (pictured) was the wrong decision at Craven Cottage on Monday evening

We’re probably seven points behind because of PGMOL reviews because I’ve been acting with respect and conducting myself in this way,’ said O’Neil.

There is a significant disparity between 22 and 15 points for the thousands of fans who follow the team across the nation.

When you’re trying to build at a big club, the difference between 22 and 15 on my reputation is irreversible.

“You may send flowers to me.” You can call me in the morning. You can do as you please, but we ought to be on 22 points rather than 15,’ he continued.

“The players are very frustrated, but we’re going to try and I will continue to conduct myself in the way that I think is right.”

“Yeah, should we make some noise about this?” the players ask one another. Are social media posts necessary?” As of right now, though, I would advise you to make sure that our team is strong enough to win the game regardless of the officials’ decisions before tonight.

Tim Ream and Carlos Vinicius, according to O’Neil, ought to have been dismissed for unrelated incidents.

When Ream fouled Hwang Hee-chan in the box, he was lucky to avoid a second booking, but Vinicius got away with a headbutt just minutes before Willian scored the winning goal.

“They sent someone out afterward to talk to one of my employees and told them that, according to the letter of the law, Tim Ream ought to have gotten a second yellow card,” O’Neil stated.

Salisbury and I had a brief discussion regarding the headbutt, during which he claimed that it was a gentle blow.

That’s crazy, I just said. It’s completely insane. So as long as the football field is judged to be soft or insufficiently hard, we are allowed to headbutt opponents? Therefore, we’re telling my son at home and the millions of other kids who are watching that you can headbutt people on a football field as long as it’s not too hard.

However, they have since come forward, sent a representative to speak with a member of our staff, and claimed that the other one was incorrect as well, according to the letter of the law. That was a red card, right?
