Brighton have gifted us two of the goals with comedy defending.
Premier League Gameweek 34-35
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
If any United player did that VAR 100% would have disallowed the goal.
Quick last minute huff of the inhaler from Grealish before he comes on…
Looked stonewall on first viewing.
Pen all day that!
VAR ref is a Palace fan "feck that".
That looked a stonewall pen in real time ffs
How the feck wasn't that a pen
Why do city keep getting all these decisions?! An absolute joke. They’d give that against us. Paying the refs now
Thats a stonewall pen.
Piss take, absolute piss take. That’s 2 maybe 3 clear pens not given in one game
They need to ask themselves if the ref would have give that would they have overturned it? If the answer is No then it’s a pen! Simple
"unlucky" says smiffy.
They analysed every frame of the derby, pulling back a random set piece 2 minutes later to punish Hojlund for feck all. Yet apparently var here is powerless to intervene…
Even when 4 goals up, can't be penalising City now can we?
Joke of a decision.
Joke of a decision.
It’s such a pointless technicality: we have to agree with the original on field decision. Why? It literally defeats the entire fecking object it was intended for.
We need a Forest style rant from the Brighton Twitter admin after the game.
that fecking Rodri/Hojlund penalty looks even more ridiculous
I'm not sure if this is a joke, but I'll say it anyway. Their owners literally are paying referees. This is a known fact.
I think it's a pen because of the little jump that Gvardiol makes into the legs. Don't think it's a pen if he doesn't do that. Don't like it when players get a pen for jumping in front of defenders and going down but this was more than that.
England's very own calciopoli.
I’m gonna sound paranoid as feck, but we’ve had some absolute shockers go against us this season. Both PL and Europe.
Clear trip on his legs. For me thats a pen. This place is a bit crazy with the 2-3 pens but that one is stonewall. Clearly runs into him from the wrong side and takes his footing. Stonewall.
It has to come out one day. Doping, backhanders…there’s some shady shit going on other than all the shit we do know about.
There’s just no competing against a bunch of cheats.
They need to add an extra charge. Should be 116. Bribing referees!
This whole not overruling the ref thing is ridiculous for something brought to fix refs mistakes. Now you just have mates judging their mates work.
Its ridiculous what City players get away with, I remember John Stones dragging Rasmus Hojlund back when he was through one on one with the keeper and nothing was given.
VAR is close to pointless right now, at least in England. Just have goal line and offside technology and bin the rest. If this is how they use it.
It's stuff like this that makes me believe that the 115 charges will just end up with a fine and a slap on the wrist for this corrupted and cheating club...
Despise them, the owners and that bald twat.

Come on Citeh, Come on Citeh. Referres are just shockingly incompetent.
VAR continues to baffle me. Why can they disallow goals due to fouls and offsides in the build up but not one scored from a free kick that wasnt a free kick?
City are so boring! Cant stand them and there 1 thousand passes
Can only hear there fans now all Brightons have left 
City's remaining games: Forest (A), Wolves (H), Fulham (A), Spurs (A), West Ham (H).
Spurs away looks the toughest one. And Spurs may still be in 4th place race (though they could drop lots of points over next few games) then. So could help their biggest rivals to win the title

They can rule goals out due to the tiniest of pixels, but won’t look at obvious shit. I get they don’t want to re-ref the game in its entirety, but there’s got to be a way that’s better than this
Are the Premier league afraid of using the actual rules of the game when Man City are in action?
Alvarez taking a dive on 94 mins when they're 4-0 up against Brighton is absolutely pathetic
They used to say ‘the big teams get all the decisions’. Well the big teams get all the VAR decisions now instead. They still get tonnes wrong with VAR as well - it just needs to be binned off into room 101. Why cant VAR say to the ref ‘no one touched Foden and you’ve awarded them a free kick in a goalscoring position for a slip’
It's completely arbitrary what they will and won't over-rule. Getting to the correct decision is not in their rationale.
