All 3 were pens. I agree the first one is soft, but it’s still a trip from stepping on his foot and is a foul anywhere else on the pitch. He brought the player down and didn’t win the ball, idk how there’s so much debate about it just bc Wolves largely played well and Fulham largely played poorly so the result seems skewed.
It’s a contact sport mate, people get tripped up all the time and it’s not considered a foul.
In this instance he gets a toe to the ball, then slithers his pinky onto Cairney’s toe nail. It’s not a pen. By giving a pen you’re saying that the Wolves player can never challenge for what is a pretty contentious ball, because any follow through will trip up the Fulham player.
Did you actually watch the replays. He clearly gets a nick on the ball before making the slightest of contact with the attackers foot, he also is trying to pull out his peg at this point. The attacker caused the contact just as much as the defender. This isn’t a foul anywhere on the pitch and shouldn’t be a foul ever. He wins the ball clean and only makes slight contact with the forward causing him no harm or danger whatsoever.
First one was soft but I can understand VAR not intervening as it wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake.
The second one was even softer so I don’t understand why VAR decided to intervene in that one if they didn’t want to intervene in the first one.
If the ref doesn’t give a very soft penalty then why is VAR sending him to the monitor to look at a slow motion replay from one specific angle? It’s like they forgot the “clear and obvious” line after the first penalty or just decided not to apply it in the second instance.

Fulham did The same tackle legit 10 seconds before, and it was not a freekick
