Isn’t the rule anything hitting the arm leading to a goal means no goal?

Yeah Liverpool will win the league because of VAR and they'll proclaim this is the only title that counts because it's the only seasons every decision was correct etc
Lloris: “was goal”
Negative? I'm just saying it doesn't mean much 2 weeks into the season. I'm pretty sure under LvG we were leading the PL table in September into the season and then it all went south.Why not let the season play instead of being so negative on matchday 2
Ultimately, the quality between the different squads will show. I'm just being realistic.
You won't when Var will hopefully give you a couple of such decisions.
At least VAR will eliminate the embarrassing over celebrations from Klopp and Pep over time.
People are confusing VAR with the handball rule change for today’s outcome. VAR worked exactly as it should.
Pep you insufferable cnut
Exactly. The less interpretation by the refs, the better.
Ball touches your arm/hand inside the box? FOUL, no questions asked.
they should be more alert in the VAR room though, and get the decisions faster to the ref.
VAR will feck everyone at some point this season. It's just a matter of when it happens and how crucial it proves to be in terms of how many points are dropped because of decisions being overturned.
I don't get it. I don't want Liverpool to win the league.
ohhhh you mean City is the only one that can beat them to it? I don't care about that to be fair.
I just worry about us.
ps. have faith in VAR to feck Liverpool at some point.
Holy moaners Varman. A bunch of you need to have a night with a FIFA rule book and understand that VAR enforces rules. You’re upset a handball assist for City was disallowed? 
Fair is fair but please let go of your technology biases. If a few celebrations are cancelled out, so be it. It will happen to every team and will be something we have to learn to accept, like the development of round goalposts as opposed to square.

I know what the rules are, i just think they are incredibly harsh. He wasn't making his body bigger or anything like that. It just clipped his hand.
i don't care 'cause it's City. But it's ridiculous.
3 shots on goal is terrible, or superb if you think about it.
What?
city is 5-4-1 in their last 10 matches against spurs
United has only lost to liverpool twice in the last 10 matches 3-5-2 against livepool in the last 10
If anyone is bottling it against anyone, it's spurs bottling it against city
It's the second game of the season ffs. Jesus Christ...they will drop points themselves.
Or do you think they have now won the league because City can't make up 2 points in 36 games on Liverpool?
Don't cry for me Manchester Shitty.
The truth is VAR never left you
Since Champions League, now in Premier League.
You are screwed!

People seem to be doing that a lot
Lots of insecure caftards or closet City fans. Like you said, it is too early in the season not to enjoy thisIt's the second game of the season ffs. Jesus Christ...they will drop points themselves.

I know it's far from over, I was replying to someone earlier who said Liverpool will win.It's the second game of the season ffs. Jesus Christ...they will drop points themselves.

If they do, you bet it'll be the only title that ever counts.
Just checked the league table and we go top if we win.
So as it stands, we only need beat Wolves 1-0 on Monday to be top of the table
Michael Oliver is probably one of the best referees in the game and still some of today’s decisions created bad feelings and frustrated players. The handball isn’t his fault but I can’t come around that my final feelings about his performances is disappointment.
Today he favored Spurs in the majority of his decisions. It just felt wrong. I don’t like City or Tottenham but my God he makes supporters from all camps irritated.

You walk into a restaurant after a long and bad day. The waiters come up to your table with some special extra dishes. Your girlfriend/wife thinks you've arranged it all, and is so pleased with you. She gives you the "I'll repay you in bed" look, before taking a photograph for Instagram and uploading it. You've just dug your spoon into the appetizer, and are about to eat, when ... the waiters come back apologetically and take it all away. "Wrong table, sorry".
I'm just saying that the waiters should be called out by the manager way before your wife gives you the look or puts the food on Insta or starts eating.
Thing is, this wasn't intentional handball, think both of the players hit the ball with their hands somehow. That's why this new rule is.... stupid to say the least.Holy moaners Varman. A bunch of you need to have a night with a FIFA rule book and understand that VAR enforces rules. You’re upset a handball assist for City was disallowed?
VAR is fine, the rules and refs are the problem. I don't really mind that City lost the points but this is gonna happen to us at some point and it's gonna be megasad.
Being realistic isn't being negative, don't know why people confuse the two.Why not let the season play instead of being so negative on matchday 2
It seems like whenever we play Spurs these days we're basically playing a game of dice with VAR. The thing that I'm still struggling to get my head around though is Ederson's positioning for Lamela's goal. I genuinely cannot recall such horrendous positioning from a professional goalkeeper in any match ever.
The elbowed pass set up Jesus so correct decision. Laughing at Baldy and Aguero.
Pool and Spurs. The jammiest cnuts in the league
It was plain to see Llorente handled the ball from the correct angle. I have zero issue with the decision now and didn't at the time. I have no issue with today's either. The rules changed and we just happen to be the team who got screwed twice but both were correct decisions, well the Llorente one was 50/50 and the ref made a call, this season it would certainly be ruled out. The issue last season was consistency Llorente being allowed to stand while every other handball was punished Kimpembe, the pen Aguero missed (can't remember who gave it away), one vs Otamendi. This season has been consistent with Wolves and now today. I have zero issue with either goal, last seasons one was open to interpretation and the ref didn't get the proper angle and even if he did, he didn't have to call it a HB. It didn't go our way but it did seem to be against the way refs implemented the rules in the way the ref implemented the CL.
Like the Sterling offside earlier, this season at least the rules are clear and consistent now even if it pisses off the let the game flow crew. Taking out the interpretation and deeming everything a HB does that. As long as the FA keep up this level of consistency I'll be fine with it. First time some team knock a ball into our box, it hits an arm and they score unpunished is when I'll have issue.
Do you think you miss Kompany in a match like this ??
We've gotta be able to have a laugh at neighbours expense every once in a while. God knows they've been laughing at us over the last 5 or so years.
In any case, we'll be legit top of the table if we beat Wolves tomorrow.
Yeah. I don't get that weak mentality. There has been a caftard who kept mentioning Liverpool over and over again
It was funny to see cold water being poured over Pep's bald head.
Brilliant analogy and makes it all the better that City aren't getting there's tonight
You could turn it around. For us Utd fans it was a terrible night out ending with a long weekend in the Maldives Surely it's more like you went and sat at the wrong table with someone else's food on it and started stuffing your face in celebration.
That's pretty incredible in fairness. I don't think I have ever seen an xG as low as that.
Incredible luck for Liverpool, just cant wrap my head around it. They seem to have continued from where they left last season with almost everything going their way. Really annoying.
Good thing for City is that they can chalk this off as a bad day and just move on.
