Has Alan Shearer got Parkinson's?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

It's the classic "we can't send someone off this early in a cup final" decision. More interested in the spectacle than the fairness of the game.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

It should have been a red. But we really need to play better.

We move too slowly in the middle And Savio isn't up to standard when we play this slow.

I blame Biden.

 

[simon23]

Goalie literally slaps it that way ffs.

Why didnt we even get a free kick for it...regardless of whatever interpritation there is of the incident surely it should be a free kick?

 

[cookster]

Red all day long

It's literally going wide because Henderson pushes it wide, you fucking morons.

 

[citymad]

They were trying to scrutinize that penalty to find any excuse, not to give it. It was so obvious.

 

[Haaland94]

I think we have to all look in the mirror and realise we ain't that special anymore and ain't a quick fix


Just shy of 200 million spent in Jan and not a single player on the pitch of that spunked money

Marmoush is, but I agree, I would have at least Nico G and Khus on.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

sav having a stinker. Hojlund eat your heart out

Wrong

 

[heslops barnet]

I'm sick off the constant slow ,turgid side to side . It doesn't tire fucking anyone out .

Fukin tires me out watching week in, week out

 

[vmsuhail]

We need to sign a reliable penalty taker

Bring back Cold Palmer.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He didn’t even give a free kick????

Once they decided it wasn't DGSO they couldn't award a foul as the referee didn't give it in real time. It really is a shite system and wide open to being use nefariously.

 

[TFC]

Incredible that the BBC are making Haaland not taking the pen the story, and not the most obvious red card ever not being given and the keeper then saving a pen.

But….what was the big daft twat thinking?

 

[hertsblue]

If that penalty was planned that Marmoosh would take it, fair enough but if it was done on the pitch as he lost his bottle, take him off at half time.
Shocking going into this season with just 1 striker

 

[Norbert D]

Be great when we get an apology for the handball!

No chance.

 

[simon23]

Not really much choice in that decision.

it was a bit soft

 

[colorado blue]

It’s a joke the ref didn’t go have a look

The worst VAR decision I’ve ever seen, made worse by an incompetent explanation.

The players have to regroup now though. We surely cannot go back to back games without scoring.

 

[citysince88]

Usually I'd be positive and say if we get one palace might fold. Sadly we don't look like scoring and it wouldn't be a suprise to see us conceding another.

 

[meltonblue]

Say its not a red card which it 100% is. How's it not a free kick outside the area wtf

Because they didn’t spot it on the pitch. VAR can’t give a free kick.

 

[chris85mcfc]

An average player doesn’t get 40 g/a in a season

Can you point me to any season in his career where he's achieved that?
