YELLOW CARD​

Everton 0-1 Man City
Dele Alli booked for hurtling into Ederson, who was asking for trouble when waiting and waiting for the ball.

Is waiting for the ball an offence now?

Not yet, but wearing the sponsors name on the shirt is what's asking for trouble.

 

[Gazza]

I bet Edersen is the most booked PL goalkeeper for time-wasting. Other teams do it for 90 minutes at the Etihad without punishment.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

What's he saying?

Pretty much that the officials were cheating because City are a big team and get all the decisions, you know- all the usual bullshit from deluded angry fans.
He was a bit out of control.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Fuck em

Only with a freshly sharpened bargepole.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

I couldnt believe that when i read it.

Apparently JFK committed suicide by deliberately putting his head in the way of a bullet.

There will be a poll on Sky and in the media over the next few days , the penalty that got away , this is brilliant winning a game with a dodgy decision , it doesnt normally happen for us , so i am going to have a few drinks on this.Enjoying the inquests , we just need Dermot and all the other retired refs to weigh in with their disbelief and it will complete a well deserved victory

And the shooter was a blue on the Grassy Knoll outside Ewood Park

Shove it right up your arse, "neutrals"...

Shove it right up your arse, "neutrals"...

Hit his sleeve .

 

[Heath Park]

I’m pretty sure the club have given him plenty of support & will continue to do so

What exactly are you expecting them to do & why?

I have already said that.
Showing support to a player who's country has just been invaded.
That's fine, we disagree.

I’m pretty sure the club have given him plenty of support & will continue to do so

What exactly are you expecting them to do & why?

Thank you City for the support today.
Great to see that.

 

[Heath Park]

‘He is worried,’ Guardiola said. ‘What would we feel if in our country where we were born and have family and friends innocent people are being killed? How will you feel? I guess that's what he feels. Of course, the team and the club is close to him, unconditionally of course.

Great that they showed their support to the world today.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Just wondering if this has been mentioned in any of the media outlets today, or is it just another attack on City's owners? Thought as much. Rats.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

If that was spit on Sky as a pundit and the Dippers got that decision he would argue until the cows come home that it wasnt a penalty , so its refreshing that Micah despite his allegiance called it , it was a pen and we got away with one.
No dount PGMOL and VAR will get plenty of opportunites to even things up between now and May , so let's enjoy the moment.

 

[Mraitch]

Glad I have cancelled my Sky. Only 2 weeks of it left. Making a song and dance about the penalty that nobody can really say it is a penalty with absolute certainty.
They kept freezing it and zooming in on a point after it had left the upper arm. You can clearly see his sleeve move before the point at which it is frozen.
It could have been given and VAR wouldn’t have overturned it, but Tierney would have been guessing from his position. Maybe we got lucky, but it is not the most outlandish decision. Anyone stating with absolute certainty that it was handball are not being truthful.

Ronay will be on the gravy train in Qatar later this year. Expect another book extolling their virtues just like he did with Russia.

I take it he will be handing back any profit he made from said book? Or donating it to the 'Ukraine Crisis Appeal'.

Ederson was a bit of a knob as he could have had a bad injury. He either takes the all much earlier or let's it go out for a goal kick. He picked it up really late and Alli kneed him

I'd be shocked he sold a copy never mind returned a profit.

Think you've summed it up well. We did get a bit lucky but it wasn't crime of the century

A real low. No empathy for a young man whose emotions must be all over the place.
No just a chance to use this emotional turmoil to have a dig at City.
Well done Tom. You are one hell of a journalist.
