So much for the G14 clubs looking out for the little person with FFP, seems like they’ve all got huge skeletons yet don’t even get a cursory glance from the powers that be.

Fucking farcical.

They are "the powers that be".

SSN in funeral mode as Sheik withdraws his bid for the scum.

I did note that their news website is using a picture of him in traditional headdress whereas previously he was always in western business garb, coincidence?

One thing I've notice in the media is that, since Fernandinho left, I haven't heard the words "tactical foul."

Hmmm.....

Not even for Casemiro...

Surprised it mention dippers threw the pint pot. Surprised it mention over 50 reports of objects thrown from the away end.

Not surprised reading the comments the dippers playing the victims again. They are truly a fucking horrible self titled group of fans. Trying to make out this is all the help City because the dippers are making a title challenge. Completely missing the point that it's their behaviour is the reason.

I have never met one fan from another club that doesnt hate the dippers. Fans of all clubs fucking hate them but they think they are loved by all.

The press/media and governing bodies, the police are to blame for the dippers increase in poor behaviour. Everyone is to fucking scared to call them out.

The feral victims control the media.
Look what happened to Colin Mafham.

I rarely respond on X/Twitter, but I commented that if there have been no attacks, how does he know it's not been addressed yet?

He's not blocked me, but he's not replied either.

The statement below is the exact wording of the current offside law. There is nothing subjective about it so Howard Webb is speaking bullshit. This law has been in place for decades. Rashford ran 30 yards shielding the ball. He prevented Akanji from playing the ball and obstructed his line of vision. I know what I saw in the stadium. Attwell told his linesman to put his flag down. He overuled the linesman and overuled the VAR team. He didn't even look at the monitor. Only a small number of United fans cheered initially because they knew it was offside. I will never change my view that this was a dishonest (possibly corrupt) decision by Attwell. The worst decision I have seen at any City match in 57 years.

"A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

• interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
• interfering with an opponent by preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision"

It was one of the worst decisions from a referee ever, and the responsibility falls squarely on Attwell.

Dermot Gallagher made a rare valid point that is wasn't appropriate to use VAR because VAR should be used for determining fact (offside position or not in this case). All VAR could have done was confirm Rashford was in an offside position.

The goal was given because Attwell decided Rashford was not interfering with play - subjective opinion. So either someone has been interfering with Attwell's career or bank balance or mind, or Attwell is indeed one of the worst referees in the PL.
