City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

[remember arthur mann]

Did a handful of lunchtimes in the Gardeners but we spent more time a bit further afield in the Mucky Duck, or one of the pubs at the other end of Greengate, near the Lees brewery. Can't recall the name but The Vine rings a bit of a bell.

Railway and Linnet. JWL. Rocket fuel.

Odd that he's not picked up that City's winner was given offside by the referee and VAR got it allowed.

This misunderstanding seems be everywhere

Tolmie had a right go at the guy on VAR on X when in fact he ruled in our favour.

That's gone over few peoples heads!!! But I like it.

Aircraft are like that unless in a hanger.

Var are always there on Comms. They would have been in the refs ear about a "possible offside - keepers line of sight blocked" as he stood like a statue on the edge of the box.

Ref had a great view and keeper lay flat on his back and didn't appeal. It felt to me like they made a "decision" 30 seconds later so that it had to be obvious enough to overrule the *on field decision*.

Thank God Bernardo bent the knee because that might have made the last bit of difference for it to be subjective enough to have to send the ref to the monitor.

As ex-BAe, based at Chadderton, I also make the same association whenever I see APT.

As a retired railwayman, the letters APT bring to mind the Advanced Passenger Train.....

VAR has to check every goal as a matter of course, don't they? Usually that means a ten minute wait to see if they can find a technicality or loophole in the rules which will allow them to disallow it, but this time they seem to have got a shock when the linesman raised his flag, timidly and hesitantly, to give offside. But this time VAR did its job and called the ref over because they couldn't see anything wrong. The ref didn't take more than a cursory look, which seemed to support his view, and gave the goal. A simple and correct decision made complicated by a linesman who wilted under pressure.

Any details of what that battle might be?
