I am on the side of the locals, if that fucker is so outraged, sportswashing blah de blah, don’t fucking go. Wanker.

Agreed. He's taking the piss there. If he was a City fan doing that in the Kop or the Stretford End, he'd be "persuaded" to leave, sharpish.

The Red Devils?

I never said I'd put in a shift.

We haven't had the evidence just a CGI image with all the other players taken off, which was out of kilter with the real time pictures.

The pics leading up were very far away so impossible to tell.

It took seven minutes to be able to show why, and even the pic they showed the keepers bum still played him on, and that is their delayed freeze frame below. You can't see the right leg of the number 11. View attachment 61395

They also removed the ball as he looked behind it. The keeper, the number `19 and the ball not included on the CGI they show. 100% not convinced.

yes we have, watch the bbc half time report and see my post about the best camera angle

Beware the Qatari headhunters

MIW ;)

No jimharri’s

Ah, he's only a twat. No one takes any notice of him.

I've done it in the Stretford End and I deserved a good kicking. 1993 Cantona Debut.

Did you have life insurance?

One of my pet hates is players disrespecting the referees. It happened a few minutes ago when a Qatar player knew he was being cautioned. He turned his back on the referee and walked off, leaving the referee to brandish the card to the back of the retreating player.

Disrespectful from the player, and the referee loses face too, for letting him get away with that nonsense.

Think I saw the ref reprimanded the player couple seconds later, while he was lining up for the freekick wall.

The Ecuadorian number 10 reminds me of Charley Williams (for us older ones).

Yes, but his jokes are terrible. Oh, so we’re Charley’s. As you were.

 

[WestGorton]

Did you have life insurance?

Not then. They left me alone because I am good at imitation of a psycho. Age now tells me I deserved a smack in the mouth.

I'm talking about this angle, shows the keeper punching the ball onto the head of the Ecuadorean

What happened next?

 

[Stephen230]

The offside goal looked baffling at the time but it was the correct decision in the end. I think the main issue is that in a lot of the stills that people are posting, the player who heads the ball to the player who’s offside is completely obscured by the goalkeeper. People moan about the lack of information if you’re in the ground but you’d think they’d have a bit better set up to get it across to those watching on TV at least. Doesn’t help when you can see the words “off side” clearly on the screen and you’ve got Dion fucking Dublin banging on about it was probably for a high kick.

Same pic used at half time as on 13 mins.

 

[KS55]

That CGI is the automated offside system which is accurate to two thousandths of a second and is based on a sensor in the ball. The referee no longer determines the point at which the ball is kicked, it’s way more accurate than any camera will be.

Didn’t know that. Thanks.

Looking forward to Southgate‘s post match interview tomorrow

“so Gareth, Qatar was awarded the World Cup in the same year Abu Dhabi paid Mancini a consultancy fee, do you agree Man City are ruining football?”

 

[KS55]

I'll tell you who the biggest winner is today.

Dion Dublins agent. How the Rag **** gets work I've no idea.

Because he knows that all stairs lead to bedrooms.

@Alan Harper's Tash and @BlueMoonday

Either put each other on ignore, or take your "discussion" to pms. Thanks.

 

[Norbert D]

Got no issue with him, apart from his spelling.

He seems to believe that makes me a child molester.

All seems fine in love and war.

Maybe it’s your tash :-)

That's fine. But please take note of what it says in the rules.....

There's a few posters on here that need to calm down. I'll unlock the thread a bit later; hopefully, people will have taken a deep breath by then.
