The goal would have overruled any preceding infringement except for the fact that Haaland made one as well. That resets it.

Surely it can only 'reset' it to that point though, not to an eariler action.

 

[the blue panther]

Because it’s City. As we all know, despite all the success and making all our wildest dreams come true for the last decade or so, we have had a penchant for idiotic cock-ups since the dawn of time. You could virtually guarantee it would be hit short, and Ekitike or Salah would run on to it and score.

Booting it as far as possible behind their goal and as far as possible from ours was the correct option, assuming they knew the ref would blow up at the next restart.

Clearly, you're the one who gives a fuck.

Clearly, you're the one who gives a fuck.

At the time I definitely did. My heart rate had only just reduced very slightly after realising the VAR check was only against the Szoboszlai/Haaland fouls and not Salah going down in our box beforehand.

Do I give one now? Absolutely not!

 

[Eccles Blue]

last one ;)

I’m getting very sentimental this evening!! I miss standing there singing the ‘songs/slogans’. “Tearing scousers apart again “.
What times. Ace.

 

[TheBlueCat]

It absolutely isn’t fine in principle- it’s a fucking abomination that has taken away the absolute joy of going ballistic when you score. The game got along perfectly for 150 years without it. Some decisions you get some you don’t. Go and watch rugby if you want to have everything decided by a video .,

Absolutely bang on!
Fans would live with the odd inconsistency or incorrect decision as we always did. We are still getting that now!
VAR has sucked the joy out of football and that is unforgivable.

Ive watched again and again but still cant see the foul against them for the free kick for their goal.

 

[cleavers]

I've had to re-check the score tonight, and make sure I hadn't dreamed it all, especially as a "win" has managed 90 pages, and wins are usually less than 30.

 

[alexmcity]

Rodri stopping Chiesa seconds before the "3rd" goal: one of the best defensive actions in the whole game.

 

[Barcon]

Ive watched again and again but still cant see the foul against them for the free kick for their goal.

I thought it was just me. I don't think they even showed a replay on my telly.

 

[Lee won pen]

Here's a thought...

Cherki blasted that free kick over the bar, game restarts with a goal kick and Alison hoofs it up field, one bounce and Salah latches on to it and buries it in the top corner... There would have been a fucking riot.

Think it’s safe to say everyone knew the ref was blowing up pretty soon after the free kick…

 

[jimharri]

Anyone see themselves on there? Fair play to the old dear on the front row. She was drinking it in!

We need to thank this man. In both the COVID win, and yesterday his contribution to the team has to be recognised.

Can still remember the alternative commentary on that win.

“He’s called Alisson because he’s a 45 year old single mum from Birkenhead”.

If we’re struggling for room outside the Etihad, this would look great next to the Shankly Gates.

What a photo.

It beats me that there are people on here who profess to hate Arsenal more than Liverpool. If we're simply looking at the fans, Arsenal fans are full of themselves, and like to give it the big ’un. You could almost laugh at them.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, about a certain proportion of the LFC fan base that makes me want to laugh. And the entire country, up and down the land, knows it. They are vicious scum (not all, but a certain proportion of them), who have been associated with violence ever since I've been following football, and that's well over half-a-century. Even when I used to go there in the sixties and seventies, it was easily the “heaviest” ground to go to, along with Elland Rd.
I have said over and over on here that I do not have a prejudice against the city of Liverpool as such (probably because I'm not a manc by birth — perhaps by adoption, if you'll have me!). At one time I used to go over there for reasons other than football. There's a scouse sense of humour, especially of the gallows sort, that I like very much. But red dippers seem to have a fanatical viciousness to them that is rare. When — at which ground? — have you seen a team coach effectively trashed? Personally, I've never seen it. Even at grounds like the Boleyn where, at one time, you certainly had to watch your back.
That's my considered opinion, and it's based on experience — not prejudice. But postjudice, if you like.

I hate liverpool more then I hate utd, I hate them with a passion that I don't give to utd, sure I hate utd but if utd is 98% liverpool is 200% fucking scouse gits, there fucking voice is like screeching, they even trashed there own city when they won the league in 2020 horrible fucking rats

who is that?

I actually like VAR in principle, but it's the implementation that is so poor.

It takes me 10 seconds to rewind SkyQ to watch it again. They obviously have to check more camera angles, so why not give VAR, say, 60 seconds maximum to come up with a firm decision. If they are undecided after that time, the on-field decision stands.

I agree with the decision over the 3-1 goal yesterday, rule-wise, but they'd have a right to complain had they lost both a goal and a player for the same incident.

In spirit, it was obviously bollocks, though.

But why did he have to go over to the monitor and waste the time, anyway? It wasn't as though he'd missed anything. He should just have pulled it back once Erl complicated matters by fouling Szobozlai. The 'suggestion' to check the monitor is surely when VAR feel that there's something he needs to see?

I haven't researched it but I'm sure that VAR delays grow longer every season.

The haunted pencil that is dermot gallagher, said on ref watch that NOR was blocking the refs view, therefore didn’t see Haaland pull slobbygob.

 

[chaddblue]

Did anybody in the away end spot the blue at the front of the tier above us giving sneaky fist pumps to the city fans below at full time

 

[Gray]

Cherkis free kick at the end.... Knowing there was only 15 seconds left, did he intentionally just hoof it in to the crowd so we could reset and avoid risk of a counter if it came off their wall or Alison saved it? Or was it just a shit shot?
Surprised we didnt play it short but then theres a risk of turn over?

Of cause he did.

 

[Gray]

I was lucky enough to be there and I didn't have a clue what they were looking at and was still none the wiser when the ref spoke as you couldn't tell a word he was saying

Didn’t help that a huge lump of chewing gum was wobbling about in his gob.
