One offside goal
Take a look at it again and look at the defender's arm which is outstretched thus playing Aguero onside

Yes admitted very borderline, but as far as i understand hands and arms are not included in the rule so he is offside.One offside goal

They may have been, that is not the point. If you book Sterling for dissent then you have to book their player who, minutes after Sterlings booking, unload a gobfull of abuse at the linesman for an alleged hand ball. All most City fans want is an even contect, we are sick of refs booking ours when the other team are treated leniantly.
And in my opinion, Sterlings moan was not worthy of a booking, hell no one would be left on the field if they were all booked for that kind of dissent.
Do you know who the ref is for Palace?

Nah we'd have got a red for that. Studs showing and all.
Think we would've got a yellow for that?

It's happening too often that a side can kick lumps out of us and our players get no protection.
Last season the Chelsea match ended in a brawl because Taylor allowed Chelsea to foul and hurt our players with impunity, Arsenal did it at Wembley, the rags got away with swinging elbows at the swamp, Palace did it in Selhurst Park, WBA did it last night.
Last night, time and again they got away with niggly fouls, the bigger fouls produced frees but no cards and the worst of the lot produced a yellow card. I seem to recall the FA were to clamp down on out of control tackles and tackles from behind, Yacob's was both. Jones is a pathetic, weak willed worm who can't control a match. He is also a symptom of so much that is short sighted and wrong in English football
One of the reasons the English national side performs poorly, why the numbers of English players in the premier league is dropping is because the thuggery last night is accepted and sometimes embraced. "Jonny Foreigner doesn't like it up 'em", "reducers", "let them know you're there"- all versions of the same cliche that sees bad and dangerous tackles as acceptable if it works for your team.
There is a huge difference between knowing how to tackle and using physicality to hurt the opposition. Too often reckless and dangerous fouls are accepted despite the risk to players because "it's a man's game". What's the point in developing skillful footballers capable of beating a man with skill or a wonderful pass, or players with good technique and control if you're going to applaud the team hard man going in late or high or from behind and hurt the same players as some act of impressive physicality.
If the premier league is ever going to fully get beyond stone age coaching then the sneaking admiration for the talent less brute has to stop. The guy who goes in hard and late should be sent off every time and be the pariah not the cult hero.
