It’s not the point though.Be interesting if somebody put together all the shirt pulls in the match that went unpunished
And that’s the problem, he’s addressed both teams pre match to instruct them as to how he was gonna ref the game, and the only time he failed to show that consistency is when we scored, I was shouting at the tv for every two handed push that they got away with, just like I would if they’d of scored from a similar situation as our disallowed goal, that’s me wearing my blue tinted specs, I’m a fan, kick every ball. But we normally see inconsistencies like this from game to game and they’ll be highlighted on motd etc, this was in the same game and heavily influenced by var, Taylor bottled it imo because he changed the way he was reffing the game for that 1 incidentRight, but I thought he let a fair few go he shouldn’t have with the rest of the game too. I just go back to flip that around and if it was against us, I’d be shouting for a foul.
He never had control of it.It’s not the point though.
They would only have been checked if a goal had been scored, like it did with our goal.
MOTD2 have said it was confirmed to them that the goal would have been ruled out for Haaland’s challenge on their keeper anyway.
Fair point about VAR intervention, which therefore means he had a shocker and his philosophy for the day of let it go is at odds with how PGMOL or whatever they’re called feel matches should be reffed. Not a good look for our supposed top ref making up reffing policy on the hoof.They’re both relevant, in that it’s only instances like that where VAR can intervene and like I said, it’s only him that can say whether he saw it fully and bottled it or didn’t and changed his mind having seen the video.
On the rest of the game, I agree with you. I also said there was good reason both coaches were annoyed with him.
I think pep could be a bit braver at times. Gundy was not at it today. Maybe move Kev more central & put Phil & Jack out-wide & let them run at them specially Milner who got off easy today. I’m sure my plan can be pulled apart but I just felt they were for the taking & we didn’t change anythingThe benefits of Jack are twofold. You get his ball retention and progression, as well as Foden on his better RHS. Not sure at all why he was left off, he’s clearly one of our better players at the moment.
Not really interested what you think, and I didn't call anybody any names. I'll call people who act dumb and think Pep should go "idiots" all days long if that's how they want to act, and I don't have a problem with it. Reading some of the comments is embarrassing, sometimes I have to wonder if they're talking about some team at the bottom of the conference with the comments that come out.I don’t think you have much perspective. And name-calling is not appreciated.

Yes, if it stops that player winning the ball.Do you think if that shirt pull is at a corner var step in and give a penalty?
