Professional Game Match Officials Limited,(ππ†πŒπŽπ‹) have reportedly SUSPENDED Stuart Attwell for TWO games and issued a €17,000 fine following controversial decisions in a recent match

Manchester United’s last outing was a 2-2 stalemate with AFC Bournemouth on Friday 20 March, and they won’t return to action until Monday 13 April, when they host Leeds United at Old Trafford. That lengthy gap has given supporters plenty of time to reflect β€” and stew β€” over a match that left the club feeling hard done by.
The Controversy
United believed several key decisions went against them during the Bournemouth fixture. Although they were awarded a penalty following a foul on Matheus Cunha, they felt a second spot-kick was unjustly denied moments later when Amad appeared to be brought down inside the box. Adding to their frustration, Bournemouth immediately broke upfield from that moment and levelled through Ryan Christie. Later in the game, Bournemouth were handed a penalty of their own, and Harry Maguire was sent off in circumstances that many felt were unduly harsh.
Former United striker Andy Cole was among the pundits who criticised the officiating, arguing that inconsistent standards had been applied throughout the match. Manager Michael Carrick shared that dissatisfaction, and the club subsequently submitted a formal complaint to the governing body.
The Response
According to The Sun, United are still waiting to receive any reply from PGMOL regarding their grievance over the penalty decisions. The core of their complaint centres on what they see as a contradiction: the contact that led to Bournemouth’s penalty β€” involving Evanilson β€” was, in United’s view, no different from the challenge on Amad by Adrien Truffert, in which the Frenchman placed both hands on the winger inside the area.
