Premier League Fixtures 16th - 23rd

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Always trouble when this fat cnut refs a game.

I can't stand him but if his linesman and VAR are that shite, he's going to have a hard time.

VAR is such a piss easy job. They either use lines or say "have another look".

In that instance, they can only have thought some garbage about phases of play. When they should say "ref, have a look at this".

 

[2 man midfield]

Feel for Villa here. They’ve been fecked hard.

 

[Carl]

Which was after MIngs touched the ball

He literally tackles him from an offside position mate. I understand what you're trying to say, but Rodri makes the tackle from an actual offside position. If thats not gaining an advantage from an offside position I'm not sure what is.

 

[FrankDrebin]

They're going to win the PL.

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Feeling sorry for Villa here. Getting mugged after a brilliant performance.

 

[Wumminator]

I think this is actually the worst refereeing performance I’ve ever seen.

 

[edcunited1878]

City rode their luck but persevered. Villa as valiant their effort, didn't get anything out of it.

 

[Flamingo Purple]

Not been watching the game but just seen a video of that decision got to be the worst VAR decision I've seen this season. Had been getting slightly better recently too

 

[Heinzesight]

Bloo twats

 

[GifLord]

Pen Incident - 2:0 Gundogan

 

[big rons sovereign]

They had no problem with different phases last week at Burnley.
Absolute jokers.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Just quit VAR. So fecking useless.

This is literally an example of why it's needed.

The fat cnut didn't use it.

 

[Godfather]

Yeah nothing dodgy about the way City have won this

Don't you know it's always only us that gets the dodgy penalties the media feels the need to talk about for fecking weeks. This is outrageous.

 

[Guy Incognito]

I thought Var was brought in for moments like today. First goal should not have stood!

 

[SirAnderson]

Such a predictable outcome. Really hope we paste Fulham, to wash down the garbage I just witnessed.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Feel for Villa here. They’ve been fecked hard.

First Covid and now this. I guess they just like being fecked.

 

[cyberman]

They're going to win the PL.

They might do but they do like grinding out a game these days. It will catch up with them when the fixture congestion comes in

 

[Deery]

Rodri shouldn’t get involved in the play if he’s offside

 

[James35]

What? Are you serious? What about us!?

I don't believe for one second that we will win it.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

I think this is actually the worst refereeing performance I’ve ever seen.

John Moss who loves City? Never

 

[Compton22]

I hope they talk about this for weeks like they would had that benefited United.

 

[Berbaclass]

Rodri shouldn’t get involved in the play if he’s offside

Becomes onside as soon as Mings touches the ball.

 

[Shane88]

The linesman, the ref, the VAR official. They all conspired on that.

 

[always_hoping]

Hard luck to Villa, turning point was the opener and should not have stood IMO, their effort deserved a draw out of that match.

City will stroll to victory in their next 3 league games against West Brom, Sheffield United and Burnley.

 

[Berbaclass]

Lets hope De Bruyne is out for the season.

Classy

 

[Godfather]

This is literally an example of why it's needed.

The fat cnut didn't use it.

Seems I have zero idea about how it works. Does it not interfere automatically for goals? fecking hell...

 

[Offside]

City’s next 3:

West Brom (A)
Sheffield Utd (H)
Burnley (A)

 

[GledTheRed]

John Moss is too much of a fat cnut to be a referee.

 

[Powderfinger]

Because he’s taking advantage of his position on Mings’ blind side. I understand why some say as soon as Mings touches it then it becomes a new phase of play, but you can’t just ignore everything around that. For me it reeks of this new freeze framing VAR refereeing. Looking at sections in isolation instead of the larger picture.

He clearly gains an advantage from being in an offside position. That should be all there is to it when asking the question.

I can see that argument. But I don't think its black and white. Mings takes two touches (a chest then a foot) before Rodri swipes it from him. At some point he has possession and its his responsibility not to lose the ball, even if Rodri is coming back from an offside position and therefore gaining some kind of advantage from that. I'm not sure where exactly you draw that line but its at least a pretty close call here and not some kind of massive injustice.

To be honest our current campaign feels like abit of a grind. Hopefully we put on a show and win in style tonight.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Lets hope De Bruyne is out for the season.

 

[Feed Me]

City’s next 3:

West Brom (A)
Sheffield Utd (H)
Burnley (A)

They have a tough trio of games straight after this.

At the same time, our next two are Fulham and Sheff U.

He's a knob anyway. Just head the fecking ball away!

 

[Bulldog United]

You can't blame the ref for the offside.

VAR looked at it and decided it wasn't offside. How they can allow a miles offside player to run towards a defender, challenge him, win the ball, and create a goal, and deem a new phase to have started at the point of winning the ball - absolutely insane officiating.

 

[adexkola]

I don't understand the offside rule fully

 

[Slevs]

I'm happy their manager didn't let that one slide. Incredibly incompetent refereeing.

 

[Pep's Suit]

Wonderful, wonderful game! Had everything! Dias MOTM!

 

[SER19]

Sinful officiating. Could decide a title.

 

[Tarrou]

If that offside goal happened to the Scousers they’d be marching on Downing street by now
