I just hope they're consistent with it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Nope, breaking rules will.
The way some keepers get off their line is ridiculous too.. hopefully the var will change that too.
I'm all for enforcing this rule against the goal keepers. Specifically happy because Dave never leaves his line
They win the domestic treble and still spend over 100m+ on players. And we've reached such a fecked up point that this is considered a quieter than usual window for them and nothing really of note, despite them being one of the biggest spenders again.
Pretty bold from that linesman to go out into the public with a haircut like that.
Five extra minutes really doesn't seem right.
Like feck it has.
Yea?
What we do know is he'll give himself an extra yard and actually follow the rules. Stubbornness shouldn't be an excuse.
They made a big deal about it coming in after Pogba pen v Everton last year but obviously haven't followed through with it.
Sterling hattrick.
Sterling with a hattrick. 0-5.
That has to be a foul in the build up and disallowed surely?
Sterling hattrick.
It is supposed to.
Phenomenal game from Sterling.
How is that not a free-kick beforehand?
Ran straight into him.
Ran straight into him.
Diop
Looked a foul building up to that.
wow City and Liverpool really are in a league of their own.
How is that not a foul?
Foul not given.
So had Aguero scored, but VAR had seen that Aguero had in fact stopped during his run up, but just looked like a slow stagger on first viewing, you would not welcome VAR disallowing that goal due to the rule break?
It’s not daft in the slightest. You just don’t like it for some bizarre reason. In fact, I’m pretty sure there’d be no complaints had this been one of ours.
City are amazing.
Well this season is going to be another tough one watching City and Liverpool batter everyone for 9 months.
Mike dishing out the cards now that City are 5-0 up. Well done prick.
Ruthless.
Diop has had a mare.
We've only had two games.
Sterling is quality. Also always seems to have great starts to the season.
They are, but goalkeepers would close the angle down so much and be a couple of feet off of their lines, it was ridiculous. Same with other players encroaching and being level with the penalty taker by the time they actually kick the ball. It's going to look incredibly daft and especially as it only comes into effect once the penalty is missed initially, but it won't be long til the players stop doing that and VAR just gets less involved.
Don't get me wrong I have zero issue with it, personally I love it. I'm all for it just didn't think it was going to be quite so strict.
The game was fecking dire up until the VAR decision. You could have been excused for thinking it was being played behind closed doors. The disallowed goal was the first time we actually heard any emotion from the crowd whatsoever.
Glad I put Sterling in my team.
I think he’ll be in the running for POTY.
I think he’ll be in the running for POTY.
Head not in the right place.
Guess even VAR can't stop City cheats.
I just knew they would get 5 today after us last night. Same shit as last season, anything we do before they do better after. Setting the pace for GD already.
Man City will be top of the league for the entire season.
That's a clear foul on Haller no ?
Interesting tactic from the keeper
