Deliberately yes as I understand.

No it’s a yellow same as any player who deliberately handles it unless it DOGSO which is a separate offence
Today was a DOGSO but VAR decide the ball was going wide the fact it was going wide was because he palmed it away seems to have been ignored

I presume you didn't watch the pre-season matches or you would understand. But then you're clearly another one of those who doesn't understand that if you can't play your best XI for most of the season then you're not going to have your best season. If you did then it would mean that when they were fit, the likes of Rodri, Stones and the rest would be on the bench every week.

What I get frustrated with if it's not even that difficult to work out yet most of you on here still can't manage it.

What a load of Bollox. how many points were at stake during those pre-season matches?

If he got a yellow then there would be no time wasting later on. He did get booked for this too.
 
I think the players are feeding off pep’s attitude and ability to keep motivating them, they all look downbeat with this side to side bullshit, how often are we seeing players in attacking to turn and pass back. Opposing teams are finding it a piece of piss to play against now

As long as they add the time on properly I don’t see a problem with it.

As someone that had a head injury whilst playing sport, I can say that even what looks like the most trivial thing might not be.

That’s not to say some players try and take advantage of it though. Just make sure the times added on so it’s minimised as much as possible.

The problem with it is it breaks up the plan, the momentum which can make a huge difference. You might get a couple of minutes added on but you can't necessarily get that momentum back.

I accept that head injuries are a serious issue but it's exploited far too much and for me the only answer is to insist that the "injured" player goes off for 5-10 minutes or is substituted immediately if the club prefer, which should cut out the fake injuries.

Apart from that they don't always add all the time on, today was an exception rather than the norm.
 
Alavrez wouldn't have been the silver bullet either. He would have struggled to break Palace down as well

Gutted.

Congratulations to Crystal Palace, their 1st ever major trophy, can't begrudge them that.

I actually don't think we were that bad, probably the better side but horrendous finishing cost us again. A better side from previous years probably would have created more chances though.

Now for the big one, VAR. It won't help but PGMOL owe the club a massive apology. As far as I'm concerned VAR should no longer exist after that game. It should have been 70mins against 10 men.
The decision to not send Henderson off has cost us a trophy today.

It's the worst decision in the history of VAR and Jared Gillett should be sacked.

City should start by demanding that the VAR discussion is made public.

Sat in the hotel at Wembley central and just feel flat. I was going to stay at home for this one and now I obviously wished I had.
The outcome was as many of us predicted. Loads of possession, they'd score from a break then we'd face a massed defence and never really look like scoring. What can you do against that?? You need a bit of luck to fall your way but nothing did. I'm pissed off with our players shitting their pants everytime we get a penalty. Surely, surely one player is capable of hitting the net from twelve yards with a free shot??? It appears not. Fucking Haaland has turned into Robbie Fowler, the one we got at the end of his career. What a bottle merchant. He's been found out and needs to work on his game, not least penalties!
As for the ref and var, again we knew somehow they'd screw us over but nobody expected just how badly. Mind you fucking Attwell himself could have gone into the Palace goal and we probably still wouldn't have scored.
Inside the ground was a nightmare. The sun was so strong I spent most of the game watching it on the big screen behind me. Then the sun even obscured that. Also the usual bunch of pissed up selfish bellends we get at every final. All with tickets apart but deciding they're all just going to say fuck everybody else and cram themselves into a row they're not supposed to be in. Wembley might as well scrap seat numbers and just make the whole end behind the goal standing anywhere you want.
As for the Palace fans they were probably the loudest opposition fans I've heard at Wembley. They're a weird bunch though. As I was stood on Wembley high road waiting for my pizza to be sorted they trudged past looking like they'd lost. I've never seen a more subdued fanbase considering they'd just won their first ever major trophy. Also there was some weird fat cow and her mates standing near that retail outlet. She must have been late thirties/early forties, waving a Palace scarf and winding up.every City fan that went past. She'd obviously not been at the game because the trophy presentation was still going on. There's some strange cunts in this world and she was a prize one. I'm sorry the City woman's bloke pulled her away because if anybody deserved a belt that fat bitchtt certainly did. Scum.
Anyway I'm in my room now. I'll watch some shit telly and try and sleep so I can get the fuck out of here and home tomorrow at the earliest available opportunity. I think this might be my last Wembley final but then I said that after the rag one last year. It's probably a laugh if you're with a gang of mates but on your own it's not a lot of fun. Winning makes it bearable but losing makes you question why you do it. I'm probably too old and tired now to carry on which is often an expensive chore. We'll see, let's hope we get that champions league spot but sadly I fear we might miss out to compound a miserable season. Fuck it, CTID!

As the seasons dragged to its painful conclusion, gotta say its probably not been the worst time for me to get banned ;)

Your last few lines made me laugh although they really shouldn't have.
I too said last year it was my last, I even bought my ticket this year saying it was going to be my last before the game kicked off. I do feel it might be the case now. Like our midfield time and tide waits for no one and I'm shattered, it's a long, long day. When you lose all you want to do is be home.
 
We have a Mancunian Palace on my coach!
Mouthing off how they were the better team
He's literally wanking to his rag friends in his mobile
We weren't great but they just parked the bus and wasted time and fouled
He hasn't got round to saying that yet,
Tosser!!
 
We have had lots of great days at Wembley so let’s just move on. Fortunately can’t dwell on this too long with Bournemouth on Tuesday. In a way it’s more important. I don’t begrudge Palace either. They have got their major trophy and their fans seem sound apart that wanker Simon Jordan.

To top off a shit day we are sat at a standstill as the M1 is shut due to an incident. We have been sat in the same place for an hour. Fuck knows what time the road will open back up and when we will get home.

I'm in exactly the same traffic. Been here around 90mins already, no sign of what's happened or when we're likely to be moving again.

Just keep telling myself that no matter how bad my day has been, it's likely someone up ahead has had a worse day. Seen multiple police cars and ambulances go past us on the hard shoulder to whatever has happened up ahead.
 
The best team in our history was 18/19 , we are a million miles away from that now

Ederson

Walker ( Danilo ) Stones (Kompany ) Laporte ( Otamendi ) zimchenko ( mendy )

Fernandinho

Bernardo (KDB) David (Gundogan)

Mahrez Aguero (Jesus) sterling (sane)

I’ve always been of the opinion that you need four world class players or players playing at a world class level to win the league

Do we even have even one now ?

Back then we had a team full

That team should have won the lot

This team needs a serious rebuild , we need four players to come in and be the lynchpin of the side , no fucking around with clever buys or future stars , absolute stone cold killers that are ready to win.

If not we are just part of the pack , hoping rather than expecting
