Why are we even discussing this when the game was pulled back because an Everton players was off side. It doesn't matter what Rodri did with the ball lol it was off side

I believe the game was stopped for an offside after the Rodri incident. I don't think they had conclusive images to quickly make a decision on Rodri, as they have to be sure that it hit further down his arm, so I think VAR got it right anyway.

This is the pass just before he calls offside, and he signals on offside before VAR looks at the Rodri decision, so it's not come from VAR. The player on the touchline is the one who receives the pass, and he is the one given offside. It's also on that line that Ederson takes the freekick. The ref even tells him to move it back towards City's goal as he tries to take it on the edge of the area.

The Richarlison through ball was very close, and potentially would also have been offside if it was checked. But it was maybe 15 yards further from the goal, so it definitely wasn't that one that the ref called.

Just accept it that the integrity of the game is at question here. It was a definite penalty. Frank Lampards interview about his 3 year old kid would have whistled for that penalty.
I am definitely a doubter now. Chris K was in the VAR panel. Doubts galore.
If Everton scored that penalty, then both Liverpool and Man City were tied on 63 points each after 27 games. Liverpool lost that league by a single point.
OFF FUCKING SIDE IN THE BUILDUP. Stop crying.

You have put a fair bit of work into that post but let's be honest.....
Only a stupid fucking scouser still cares. The referee made a decision. The world outside dipperville knows that once he has given the decision and Var has agreed (or not got involved) the decision is final. No matter how many times scousers bleat, it is going to change, and certainly not 2 years later.
I could moan about all the dubious (cough) decisions they have been given but I realise, a) I'm not a sad sack of shit and b) there is fuck all I can do about it.
Even rag fans don't go on about decisions that are occasionally given against them.

Well, about 2 minutes to get a screenshot, and as I said, I don't think it was an obvious handball for VAR to overturn anyway.

I had however, seen the offside mentioned about a dozen times in this thread alone, so plenty of City fans appear to care. Just thought they'd like to know it might not be a hill worth dying on.
