that’s that cleared up then :-)

See, again this is where surely the refs know the fucking rules? Doesn’t bastard matter if he gets a touch if he then fouls Phil.

BBC now claiming VAR think MCCarthy touches the ball. He does not. Atkinson has history as a cheat.

 

[homerdog]

"The on-field referee felt that Alex McCarthy got a slight touch on the ball, and VAR couldn't see anything to disprove that."

Well, we've all seen that he didn't; Martin Atkinson proving that he's as corrupt as Moss. But we already knew that, didn't we?!

I can't make up my mind who is worse, Hinchcliffe or Moss?

At least Moss has the excuse of not playing for City.

Bizarre.

Great stuff from Mahrez.

Hinchcliffe, I'm afraid.

As angry as I am about that decision, I can’t believe Phil didn’t go down, fucking ridiculous.

well I guess he played on thinking var would be involved and give a pen. Shocking

Doing what any decent pro would do, get up, fight for it and get on with it. Pity really but got to respect him for it.

Your kidding. I can't think of another player who tries to play on after a foul like that.

I bet Pep will be setting him straight

Atkinson on VAR. Remember he was the ref who didn't give a penalty to Aguero when Ashley Young wiped him out in the Derby a couple of seasons ago

if nothing else it woke us up. First 15 mins we were very sloppy.

We've spoke to the VAR match centre and this is why Phil Foden didn't get a penalty...
"The on-field referee felt that Alex McCarthy got a slight touch on the ball, and VAR couldn't see anything to disprove that."

It's two reds, BTW - professional foul and dangerous tackle. Reckon Moss couldn't figure out which he was going to give it for, so just bottled it.
