said before theres no chip in the ball so still use best frame for off or on side
adidas wouldnt sell technology
Exactly
The SAOT suggests a kick point which is checked by VAR who can over rule the suggestion, this is what they did for the Newcastle one a few weeks ago and they were caught out when the £D image generated from the chosen kick point was released and it showed Dias jumping which he was when the ball was passed They dismissed this by contradicting their published exaplaintion by saying its only a representation and pointing out the tolerance Bent
 
Yes I agree but there was one moment in the first half when NOR, Savinho and a couple of other blues used some intricate footwork when hemmed in to beat the Brentford press and the commentator did marvel at how it was done.
I actually didn't think Hinchcliffe was too bad!
Hinchcliffe was horrendous as usual, you are the exception if you look at the match day thread
How many times did they mention that Kush should have had a red, the commentators finished his commentary with it.

I missed most of the 1st half he summarised "Man city end the half with JUST 0.2 XG and only lead through a moment of brilliance from Cherki ".....as Im watching the ht highlights I thought wtf he going on about Ive just seen 4 shots on target
 
Why we allow the BBC inside the grounds if baffling. They run the Trafford story often after he plays for us and that headline inc a red, what a laugh. Dont recall should we have had a penalty in the headline when ee got robbed at Newcastle. Even after a win with so many academy players on the pitch, the BBC has to run with negatives.
I know. Also, no mention of a 19-yr old academy player getting a cameo appearance being the 5th first team debutant for City this season from our academy.

both of them spent the 2nd half full of what ifs , no other side gets so much negative commentary like we do

I'd be interested to know why Hinchcliffe, as an ex blue, seems to go out of his way to be totally the opposite of biased towards us. It's not just last night, it's a theme with him. He rarely has a good word to say about the players, team or club. I wonder if he had issues with the club, feels he missed out on some of our success since he left, or actively tries not to be accused of just being an ex biased city player.

It's not just city who he's negative about, every game he co comms on he's a right whining negative fucker.
And to think when I first started going in 1988 he was the first player I wanted to be being a left back myself for the local u10s.
 
When the commentator mentioned the 5 academy starters last night there was tumbleweed from Hinchcliffe. It even a peep.
You would think Hinchcliffe would trot out the number of City FA Youth Cup youngsters who he played with, when stuffing the Trafford Tramps.
Think 8/9 of that group played for the first team ?
He does seem a bitter bunny ?

Well his negativity on most city games seems to be focused on us.

His attack on Bernie should never be forgiven.
 
It was worth going to the game, just to avoid the commentary....very enjoyable evening despite the cold and wet . Should Have Done Better Hinchliffe is always negative but sounds like he excelled last night . And it really annoys me when commentators ignore the technical finesse of City in possession and tell us some irrelevant stat or overgeneralization All they want is route one and a goal in the counter so they can turn up the volume and exist on a clip on tic toc for generations .
Said to the missus last night, these commentators really dig a dark hole for themselves these days.
They are wounded when city take the lead in a game and sound pathetically desperate willing for an equaliser until we get a second.
Then when the result is not in any doubt they try to sprinkle a little accolade on us around about the 88th minute mark.
It doesn't matter which two are commentating they all do it.
It seems to be an accepted part of the modern game now in England to dog and disrespect Manchester City FC permanently.
I'm just gutted the club doesn't seem arsed about it but then again they're not paying subscription fees to listen to it.
Why the f@ck should city fans who can't get to the game have to listen to this bile while trying to watch their team?
Again I just think it's become part of the fabric of football now and we will never be treated the same as other clubs by the media., but it's so annoying while you are trying to watch a game.
 
What annoys me is that at the moment City fans are very weak i.e., incapable of mounting a response.

I take it as a given that our club would receive a hostile press but it wouldn't matter so much if we had a fantastically supportive fanbase but we don't. We are now very soft. Once League Cup quarter finals were a big deal at City, now it's nothing. It is a response to success but we are human so we should be conscious of it, and do something about it.

We can start by being loud in support of City on Saturday.
 
Words need to be had with the BBC's Shamoon Hafez. He makes a series of minor digs game after game, which individually don't amount to much, but over time become irritating.

Our supporters are not capable at the moment of responding. Rich milk has lest then fat and comfortable.
 
What attack was this? Must have missed it

He made a big point of condemning Bernardo on live tv for his posting the cartoon to Mendy who found it funny. Without the pile on Bernardo wouldn’t have been banned, fined & required to attend education sessions.

He was fucking silent when Garnacho posted a gorilla to Onana.

Compare and contrast with the handball decision against Bournemouth on Monday. It was even more of a howler and changed the game. The commentators were so swept away with their love of all things Red that they barely mentioned it.

Once a Rag always a Rag (although Sky would never dream of putting him on one of their games)
