The matchday thread is a specific experience and it probably reflects people's internal dialog being expressed publicly. Its the same on all clubs matchdays. Frustration, elation, emotional outbursts... its part of the game. Yes, some folks criticise our own players heavily and often but that is the way some folks are. I think we all need to view that thread in context of live events and things said in the heat of the momentKnobheads like that are all over the match day thread then come in here early on and meet the real fans who don’t go on there. We’ve just done the double over the scousers for the first time since 1937 and that’s their comment. Either a non city fan or fans we don’t need.
Szobozlai & Haaland performing the Cha Cha should have no bearing whatsoever on Cherkis goal imo.I'll be honest, I still don’t fully understand the technicalities of that decision.
He sounded like he was blowing out of his arse to be fair.Pawson was a nervous wreck announcing his decision. Wonder why.........................................
That’s what I said.He’s talking about the penalty, which was awarded onfield by Pawson.
It's fucking bollock mate.It just turns it into pantomime farce. I assumed he had played the advantage. You've played the advantage, the goal is scored, so why then pull it back after the event? If he hadn't played the advantage and stopped it for the foul then why didn't he blow for the foul straight away?
Mark Pougatch summed it up, how can a player get a red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity when the ball ends up in the back of the net? It's just stupid.
What angered me is what if they had gone up the other end and scored? And it still might be significant at the end of the season.
Have to say though there were two or three occasions when Cherki should have passed to Haaland.
He sounded like he was blowing out of his arse to be fair.
Correct - a bollocks decision.It's fucking bollock mate.
They score that and it stands.
Unbelievably there are Blues on here defending it, "it's the rules"
So the other week at Newcastle we had a good goal chalked off because Haaland apparently stopped their defender from having a chance of blocking the goal.
Today, Haaland is pulled back from getting to the ball but it didn't matter as the ball was going in anyway!
Both ruled out!.
Yes. I know.The disallowed goal, Pawson was advised to go to the screen by VAR.
One game ban.Haaland just summed up the nonsense of that third goal. He says the ref may have been applying the rules but ut cost us a goal and szoboszlai (?) a three game ban. Sometimes common sense has to prevail.
No because whilst fucking annoying, it was the correct implementation of the laws as they stand. The silly **** just shouldn’t have pulled Haaland back.Could City appeal and have that goal rescinded as it could cost them the league?
About time we won a crazy game like that. We fight 'til the end!!
1 goal can be the difference between winning the league and not winning the league.
It's of no help at all to City, the goal might have been.
True but then they come on this thread and ‘celebrate’ with a criticism. They can sod off.The matchday thread is a specific experience and it probably reflects people's internal dialog being expressed publicly. Its the same on all clubs matchdays. Frustration, elation, emotional outbursts... its part of the game. Yes, some folks criticise our own players heavily and often but that is the way some folks are.

Why can’t they award the goal as contuation and still red card his ass??
As stupid as it seems, he prevented a goal for us, and against them, it may prove important somewhere.The silly **** just shouldn’t have pulled Haaland back.
