    It has settled down a little after that confusion.

    The "modern" day penalty, as Jose Mourinho called it.

    Was Craig Dawson touched by a nose or a fingernail?

    Seeing a replay of the penalty decision again, Craig Dawson was caught offside but did VAR look at the right frame?

    Had the ball been released by Declan Rice?

    West Ham 0-0 Sheffield United

    Jesse Lingard has really found his form again since joining West Ham on loan.

    The dangerous Manuel Lanzini picks out the Manchester United man on the edge of the box, but Lingard's low strike is parried out by Aaron Ramsdale on his 100th league appearance.

    Kyle: Correct decision with the offside. It was so obvious and clear cut. Why when it's so obvious and an easy decision to make does it take them so long to make the decision. On the positive at least they made the right call.

    I thought I knew the laws of the game... Once the keeper saves it, isn't that the next phase of play?

    I still can't see why the penalty was awarded?

    HoG is going to have to be an iPlayer job.

    12 minutes in and it has been a very entertaining opening to this game.

    Plenty to talk about.

    What am I watching? If that's a penalty, then it can't be football.

    The visitors have brushed off that early non-penalty concession and are exerting some pressure at the other end.

    They earn a corner which Lukasz Fabianski flaps at and Craig Dawson comes to his rescue to head wide.

    Sheffield United go to the other end and David McGoldrick stretches at the back post onto a well-aimed cross but cannot divert his effort on target.

  10. PENALTY OVERTURNEDpublished at 7 mins

    West Ham 0-0 Sheffield United

    And Craig Dawson is adjudged to be offside so the penalty decision is overturned.

    Play on.

    Can someone send me the rules?

    Craig Dawson is offside, like Harry Maguire yesterday.

    But when is offside not offside after the referee awards penalty?

    Simon Hooper is the man with the whistle, btw.

    It's on the edge of the box, the ball was going out towards the corner flag. As it comes out here there's a challenge, I think it was Craig Dawson. Simon Hooper pointed straight to the spot - he has spotted that from about 25-yards away. This will go to VAR for sure.

  13. PENALTY TO WEST HAMpublished at 5 mins

    West Ham 0-0 Sheffield United

    West Ham have a free-kick in the fifth minute, which turns into a penalty!

    Not even sure why it has been given, it looks like home defender Craig Dawson was shoved at the back post.

    Well struck.

    Declan Rice runs up and smashes a drive which Aaron Ramsdale pushes away.

    But wait!

    West Ham already showing their attacking intent.

    Jarrod Bowen shows nifty feet and is tripped on the edge of the box by Ben Osborn and the Hammers have a free-kick in a very good position.

    Tell you what, if the opening half an hour of this game isn't great, we'll have a House of Games watchalong.

    I went early with the kick-off button, the players had a false start and had to kick-off again.

    Now we are properly under way.
