[East Level 2]

I don't suppose you are far from the truth there EL2

Well they haven't kicked up a fuss to have the game replayed as they know it would never happen. This is pressurising officials and straight out the GPC's tactics book.

Amazing how this scouse nonsense is reinvigorating the anti VAR lobby, other teams get fucked over by it (And they weren't) and they are told to just deal with it.

If he had let the ball hit him rather than avoid it he could have claimed he did not obstruct the view of the balls original flight path.

Otherwise why duck out of the balls path other than to delay a ball sighting by our long named goalie?

If the ball hit him then it probably doesn't go in as it was straight at him.

If it did go in after hitting him then it's called Off Side anway as he was, by a fucking mile.

He stood where he did to impede and obstruct our goalie.

Stupid tactic if the defending team doesn't have someone on the posts.

Amazing how many "neutrals" are moaning about it being the wrong decision. If we scored it no one would care less.

When we scored a similar but actually, quite different goal v Wolves, everyone said it should have been dissallowed, now they say this should have stood!

It was ever thus.
About 20 or so years ago, we went out of the Cup (on live telly v Sunderland, if I remember rightly*) due in no small measure to a goal-bound shot hitting a balloon and being kept out... cue hilarity in the media about poor hapless City.
Maybe a year or so later, the same thing happened to the Red Scouse and the same people backed the Anfield Road mob as they went into their usual batshit banshee mode.

Mind you, it seems to work for the tiresome cunts. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.

* or maybe their would-be goal was v Sunderland... I'm sure someone will be kind enough to put me right.

Let's not forget the Mane - Ederson incident ! Probably the only time Fungusbum's comment " he could have been killed " would have been appropriate ; and yet the confected outrage at Mane's sending-off from the dippers and their lackies in the Lickspittle Media ( remember dear old Gary Ratface ) was far greater than even their reaction to the Robertson "offside". Strange that every referee has patiently pointed that he was interfering with play and therefore offside but the Scousers ( forever the victims ) still send an official complaint to PIGMOL.

Oh .. and don't mention Heysel ( oh shit..I just have )

I had one on Facebook who wanted me to explain what i meant by victims FC - so I laid it out in detail - he went mental!

It was Sheffield United. Sorry to burst..

 

[pride in battle]

Be interesting to know if that has ever happened before in a single passage of play ? Probably in Spain (Barca), Germany (Bayern) or maybe Brazil somewhere like that but has it been done in this country at this level ?

Yes v the Rags

 

[eastmanc]

Love it.

 

[Kush45]

They have changed the gates at Anfield

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Haven’t enjoyed a game as much as that at the Etihad since we beat the rags in March 2024.

Smashed ‘em!

Lol.

Pretty sure that's one of those made-up quotes that gets posted on social media, and then spread around and taken as gospel. I'd be amazed if he actually said that.

 

[M18CTID]

It seemed all of their plan was to make salah one vs one against Nicp O reiley. Salah did get 4/5 good one vs one chances against Nico but Nico bossed salah. One moment nico was bypassed when schobozlia was involved.

Saw a compilation video of all the times Nico got the better of him. Very impressive. Although I was at the game and felt he had a great game, where I am (behind the goal in SS1) you sometimes don't get to see and appreciate these moments as well as those in other areas of the ground and watching on TV.

100%, this was my arguement, a player is deemed offside if he interferes with play. zit wss going straight at him and would have hit him if he didnt duck. Therefore his action means he must interfere with play.
They go on about the Wolves goal but Berny was nowhere near the flight of the ball.

That's actually a great point. My initial reading was that The Don isn't getting to it whether Robertson is there or not but now I've read some of the other views I've come to the conclusion that there was fuck-all controversial about disallowing it.

Comparisons with our goal at Wolves last season are desperate because the situations weren't alike at all

 

[Marvin.]

Copied from Law 11

a player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball

Freeze the action at the moment Van Dijk heads the ball, and Robertson is standing immediately to the left of Donnarumma. I think that Robertson's position at the moment Van Dijk heads the ball affects the ability of Donnarumma to challenge for the ball.

also just his presence in that area is interfering with the play, due to the flight of the ball donna doesnt know whether he is going to divert it or not so cant fully commit to the dive.

I have to say, it is this reason why i am unsure why more goals aren't chalked off where a player is hanging about near the keeper. and i include goals given for us as well. Surely, in an instinctive and close range situation such as a save, just someone's presence is enough to be interfering.

i'm not going to be popular for this but i think, e.g., Silva's interference at Wolves was enough to chalk off Stones' late goal.
