GARY O\u2019NEIL claims that the referee Michael Salisbury admitted that he got a crucial decision wrong during Wolves\u2019 defeat at Fulham.<\/strong><\/p>\n And the frustrated boss has called for change in how VAR is used after his team were on the wrong end of another controversial decision.<\/p>\n Wolves dramatically lost 3-2 at Craven Cottage after three penalties were awarded during the game, two of which went to their opponents.<\/p>\n But the key one came deep into additional time when Fulham\u2019s Harry Wilson was fouled in the box by Joao Gomes.<\/p>\n It was not initially given, but VAR eventually stepped in and then Salisbury, after viewing the pitchside screen, pointed to the spot.<\/p>\n Although the ref insisted that decision was correct, O\u2019Neil claimed afterwards that the official admitted to him that a mistake was made for the first Fulham penalty when Nelson Semedo was adjudged to have fouled Tom Cairney.<\/p>\n That left the Wolves manager fuming – but it was not the only decision that annoyed him.<\/p>\n After speaking with Salisbury after the match, O\u2019Neil then told Sky Sports: \u201cWe discussed a lot of decisions.<\/p>\n \u201cVinicius should have been sent off for headbutting Max [Kilman]. Clear, he headbutts him on the nose. Isn\u2019t sent off, is given a yellow.<\/p>\n \u201cTim Ream should have been sent off for a second bookable offence on the penalty. They\u2019re both my opinions on those, obviously everyone can have their own.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe penalties that went against us, Nelson plays the ball, doesn\u2019t touch Tom Cairney. I watched that back with the referee and, to be fair to him, he says he thinks they\u2019ve got that wrong and he should have been sent to the monitor.<\/p>\n \u201cDoesn\u2019t help me, doesn\u2019t help all the fans that have travelled all this way to watch the team, doesn\u2019t help the players who are feeling frustrated again.<\/p>\n \u201cSo the Nelson one has pretty much been admitted by the referee that they made a mistake.<\/p>\n \u201cThe one on Harry Wilson we disagree on a little bit. He thinks there\u2019s enough contact there to give a penalty. I think it\u2019s really soft.<\/p>\n \u201cSo you could argue two of them could go against us, but for all four of them to go against us is a tough one for the lads, the supporters and myself to take because we\u2019ve been here a lot of times this season. It\u2019s tough because we didn\u2019t deserve that.\u201d<\/p>\n O\u2019Neil received an apology in August from the PGMOL after not getting a penalty in their 1-0 defeat at Manchester United<\/p>\n There have also been several other debatable calls that have gone against his team this term.<\/p>\n Now O\u2019Neil says he has had enough and believes the string of bad decisions are having a huge impact on everyone at the club.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cBad luck that it keeps going against us, but there are bad refereeing decisions in there.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve had a real grown-up conversation with him in there, I\u2019m trying to remain calm and I\u2019m not angry with anybody, I\u2019m not in there abusing people.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a conversation around, \u201ccome on guys it\u2019s six or seven points now that have gone against us. I\u2019m managing a big football club here.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe difference that you\u2019re making to my reputation, the club\u2019s progression up the league, to people\u2019s livelihoods is huge.<\/p>\n \u201cIt can\u2019t be with all the technology, all the time, the biggest league in the world that we\u2019re getting so many wrong. It can\u2019t be okay.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat can I do? I have two options really now. I keep behaving the way that I should and I make my players behave in the way that we should, we respect everybody and the decision making. Or we go, that\u2019s not working, we\u2019re going to have to make some noise.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d rather be a decent human being, answer things honestly and have honest chats with people but things need to get better because I can\u2019t accept us being on the wrong end of decisions as often as we are.\u201d<\/p>\n O\u2019Neil added that he had been a fan of VAR, however he has now changed his mind and thinks it could be time to step back from using it.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI\u2019ve always been for VAR but I think it\u2019s causing a big problem at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact that the first one\u2019s not deemed a clear and obvious error but the second one is, I just think VAR has cost us there.<\/p>\n \u201cIf it was just a normal referee maybe we concede one penalty from a mistake, the fact that we\u2019ve conceded two\u2026for me, VAR is not helping much with subjective decisions.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe tonight has finally turned me against VAR when I thought it would help but it doesn\u2019t seem to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
