You didn't answer my questions though.

First, you say you have no idea whether Liverpool have had more favourable decisions than City. Then you give examples from the games yesterday when the title was already decided. Give me an example for a decision in City's favour from the start of the season to the Wolves game. Just one. I can give you at least 5 decisions in Liverpool's favour. That's easy as just the games with City and Everton provide a sufficient basis. Even a Liverpool fan on here admitted the Leicester pen was a mistake. If you can't give any examples for decisions benefitting City, stop pretending to be objective, obviously you are not.

Second, you don't say a word about the Christmas schedule. Why? Can you make sense of it?

Can I try to answer your questions? I'm not a fan of us calling this conspiracy theory and would like us to talk about us rather than liverpool. So here we go...

You say from start of the season we didnt have any decisions for us, as a matter of fact, we had a brilliant early schedule compared to liverpool. Imagine this, by the time we played liverpool, our first competitive game of the season, liverpool already played Chelsea twice, Napoli, Arsenal, Spurs and MU. We should have taken the lead, but we drew againts Spurs, the only competitive game before liverpool. We didnt capitalise with this, Liverpool was sweeping teams away apart from MU game, which I will talk about later.

Our CL groupstage, was EL level. Could not have picked a easier group, should have helped our bpl as it was less competitive games, but again, we didnt capitalise. Liverpool had a tricky opponents, Napoli who did beat them twice and RBS. Tougher run of games for Liverpool.

Liverpool played MK Don, Arsenal and Aston villa in league cup. We got Preston, Southampton, and Oxford. Again considerably easier opposition and remember, FA refused to push the game away while liverpool travelled to Dubai for CWC and played 2 games againts respected opposition who was showing themself to the world and had to travel back to play Leicester. We again, didnt capitalise since liverpool played one bpl game less.

So we had easier schedule all over the beginning of the season, bpl, league cups and CL,except for christmas. But that seem to be your only focus. We just didnt capitalise while we had the chance.

Let's talk about VAR. Liverpool had a clear as day light penalty not given vs Newcastle, goal disallowed againts Watford, MU, us , Aston villa and that MU goal that was given eventhough VAR clearly was showing a fault. I can't remember if there was more. They were affected by VAR as much as us.

That TAA handball, looks like handball to me, il agree. Can you tell me right before it hits his hand, did it hit silvas hand or not? And why our own players didnt play to the damn whistle. Was that the winning goal, no, we lost 3-1.

You must be thinking why I am talking about CL, group stages and league cup. It's because it looks like a great setup for us to succeed. We just didnt take our chance. We played againts liverpool only once, they had no say in other games. Last season they only lost once and lost the title by 1 point. Third highest ever points tally without VAR. They look like they going on the same run this season as last season. So its no fluke.

Now, don't resort to abuse please, I just want us to stop talking about liverpool and conspiracy theories and focus in ourself. Please. Let's be constructive. Apologise if I offended anyone.

Are you sure you can get a ticket , every plastic remote control wielding Dipper i know can never get a ticket and there's also a 50 year waiting list for a season ticket ,but in reality i can get a ticket for ANY Dipper home game if you pay the price .
Along with the Rags you have the most irrelevant plastic fans in the world ,and i would wager i have been to Anfield more times than you , watching City repeatedly robbed by officials.
Real match going Dippers wouldnt contemplate joining an opposing clubs forum , what is the point ?

I get Bournemouth Home every season plus a Lucky Dip. But yes, that’s my lot. Don’t go every week.

I’m on here and Brighton. I like talking football and respect different points of view. Interests me (when sensible).

Gets boring when you close yourself off to one point of view. Speaking to just fans that support the same team. Being tied to just a particular group, with hatred or respect towards something with the same opinion is cult like. A popular term in this thread.

The relevance of it hitting Bernardo's hand accidentally? The only time its an offence and a free kick is if it leads to a goal. So we move onto the next phase of play-and thats the clear handball by Alexander Arnold. And not the winning goal? Its a 2 goal swing in all likelihood-only people who have no clue about the impact of goals in football would include later events to support their argument.

not even then. Bernardo would need to either score with his hand or take control for it to be an offence.

it was a penalty

Hmmmm I think you have just been selective with the law and only quoted what suits your agenda
 
updated the Laws of the Game for the 2019/20 season.

Handballs
Any goal scored or created with the use of the hand or arm will be disallowed this season even if it is accidental.

The handball rule now has extra clarity because it does not consider intent by a player.

Another big change is to do with the position of a player's hand/arm.

If the ball hits a player who has made their body "unnaturally bigger" then a foul will be awarded.

IFAB says that having the hand/arm above shoulder height is rarely a "natural" position and a player is "taking a risk" by having the hand/arm in that position, including when sliding.

It is, however, considered natural for a player to put their arm between their body and the ground for support when falling, so long as the arm is not extended to make the body bigger.

Deflections
Premier League players will be allowed extra leeway when it comes to ricocheted handballs.

It is often impossible to avoid contact with the ball if it has deflected off the body of an opponent, team-mate, or even another part of the own player.

So a handball will not be awarded if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/nearby.
