I was at the Northern Echo Local Heroes sports awards many years ago. Woodgate was giving out 1 of the awards. When he got up no one could understand a word he was saying as he was that intoxicated. At the end of the night he was fast asleep at his table and had to be carried into his awaiting taxi. Great behaviour from a then representative of Middlesbrough FC. Just the type who is well suited for the rags.

He's a **** - when he was at Real and came back home to the Boro he was always drinking and in the Voyager near me caused a near riot as he was lighting cigars with £50 notes which went down well the the locals. Obviously big mate of contemporary Stewart Downing who was shipped out of Boro for certain habits ..... sniff sniff if you get my drift

Absurd offside law cannot disguise shifting of sands in Manchester | Jonathan Wilson

United’s controversial equaliser exposed a major flaw in the rules but also gave them a platform to close the gap on City

Have you forgotten the non penalty by Rodri against Everton for Handball that effectively handed us the league?

We are both just cherry picking and could play all night but what's the point?

That's not an explanation by the Guardian !!!!!
The linesman flagged for offside. He knew straight away but the rule states he has to wait. He waited and then flagged.
Var invented a reason to disallow it (just like tonight) It affected the whole team they knew they couldn't beat blatant corruption.
And for the 1,000th time. An Everton player was offside so whether Rodri handled it or not, doesn't matter.

So now they are applying the rules of the game and it's not corrupt? Make your mind up!
Because that's the point isn't it, the rules are irrelevant so ignore that an Everton player was offside, ignore that it hits the top of of Rodri's arm and then give the pen and screw City over.
In one example your saying how they didn't follow the rules and then in the next you say it's fine they followed the rules You honestly make no sense!

The referee didn’t give a handball.
This was looked at forensically at the time by VAR and after viewing evert available angle, no footage could conclusively show it was handball, so for you to state conclusively that a penalty could have been given for handball as the ball hit Rodri's arm isn't correct.
The fact that an Everton player (Richardson IIRC) was also offside is a moot point anyway as it didn’t get as far as needing to even look at this.

You are once again missing the point, you claim it's corrupt against us so the facts are ignored and decisions given to halt us and yet here you are forensically examining all the facts and concluding they got the correct decision. Read slowly.... you are convinced that that the game is corrupt against us so they ignore facts and just give decisions that screw us over.

So everything you said about the Everton penalty is irrelevant-ignore the facts, give the penalty, stop City winning the league-job done-no?
Recently I have seen claims that footage is edited to show what they want to show, was this not an option then?

You're banging on about the so-called "Rodri Handball" and trying to say that this incident is the sole reason we won the league im 2022 so I'm calling you out on your bullshit.

Where did I say in my post that I was claiming that the game was corrupt against us?

I made a mistake, everyone does from time to time. I immediately admitted mine, apologised for it and took steps to rectify it. I'm not sure what else you want me to do.

I deleted my post after seeing you had acknowledged you thought you were replying to another poster.
No harm done.
 
It's comedy that they'll want Carrick to get off to a morale boosting start and his 1st 2 games are City and Arsenal! They'll lose both and the crisis cycle resets. Lovely.
