I’m not sure why they are saying on BBC , ‘you can’t blame the referee’ for missing the red card , surely that is his job?

It's the bbc what do our expect, other side if the pitch it's a red

 

[Norbert D]

Blatant red but tough shit. Let’s get this done.

 

[lonestay]

City have definitely upset someone high up in football and the establishment are getting their own back .

 

[deano ou812]

Who gives a fuck about "ruining the game"??? A red card is a red fucking card!!!

This,sick of it apply the rules laws correctly like a game 2-3 minutes in oh can’t give that it’s too early in the game,who gives a fuck apply the laws correctly ..

It’s sad when we have to argue about Var to sweep that shit performance under the carpet.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Absolutely awful on both wings and the big donkey in the middle.

Savinho and Doku shouldn't get anywhere near the first team. So average abd predictable.

Haaland isn't half the player he was at the start of the season.

Sort this shit out Pep.

I think Doku has been ok, but Savinho very poor.

Just not true, Henderson prevented us scoring with a red card offence, we've had a penalty, Henderson has then made three brilliant saves. We've had 8 shots already. We should be about 2-0 up but somehow are 0-1 down.

1 shot 1 goal, typical City.

 

[glyntowen]

shame that Kova is injured, missed him in the middle

 

[samuelyeboah]

Still amazed that goalkeepers sometimes save penalties

 

[RiversideBlue]

You be the ref? Ffs

 

[theholysmurf]

The worst decision of VAR, is having VAR. Which now gives officials two opportunities to fuck teams in blue over

To be fair the ref did piss all about it in the first place.

 

[TinFoilHat]

He literally gave us a penalty!

Took his fucking time and was begging VAR changed it.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Even Rooney saying it was a blatant red card incident for Henderson

Comes to something when Scouser who used to play down the road calls it for what it is!
Wasn't sure initially, then saw that HT replay - beyond a doubt

 

[GornikDaze]

Crystal Palace legend Ian Wright said that was a red card too.

He’d say the opposite if he’d been sent off

 

[1961_vintage]

Right. Bollocks aside. Why’s he not been sent off?

The purpose of VAR is to directly influence the outcome of games.

As demonstrated by a decision that is universally being panned by all sides, it is clear and obvious that the people behind VAR do not want City to win the FA Cup.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He literally gave us a penalty!

Not really much choice in that decision.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Even if it wasnt a red card then surely it was a free kick just outside the box

That’s the bit I couldn’t understand.

 

[normskih]

I'm watching a different game to most here, it seems. We've been the better team and created several chances. We've lost one goal to their first time over the half-way-line. It's hard to know what to say when so many here are willing to utterly castigate the players at half time when the game is clearly there to be won. Get a grip.

Course we’re the better side, however, I do think that Savinho doesn’t use the ball well considering how much he’s seen of it, so I would make the one change at half time.

 

[BossHog]

Even palace fan wright admitting it’s a red


It’s corruption in plain sight

 

[Sky Blue]

It’s sad when we have to argue about Var the sweep that shit performance under the carpet.

It wasn’t shit you absolute balloon.
