Rules of the game are a pen for a foul in the box trumps an offside decision
So offside only came into effect after they confirmed no foul

How about the rags being awarded a penalty against City this season only for VAR to overrule it because there was an offside?

Thinking about it Louise Minchin has gone downhill fast.

I don't get why "shinning" it is seen as bad, like criticising someone for a glancing header because they didn't make full contact with their forehead.

Because it's dependent on luck, you've little to no control of direction when it comes off your shin.

The irony of Captain Bear Hug whinging about 'contact' in the penalty area..... The f*cking state of it.

You missed the Great out of Capt. Great Bear Hug (or Capt. GBH for short).

Correct.

Somehow, and baffling to me, but several rags and a couple of dippers I (sadly) know claim Sterling is a diver. Like the Emptyhad bolleux, its one of those things that they seem to think if they say it often enough it becomes fact.

This gets on my tits as well. Sterling, and City in general, has more nailed on penalties turned down than given. It's been like that for several seasons while the diving rag and dipper cheats are given dodgy penalties and the media stay silent.

The classic was the rags at Villa last season when Penandes threw himself at Mings. Even in real time it was clear the goofy twat had fouled Mings but the ref gave it and even more ridiculously VAR confirmed it. The commentator said something on the lines of it wasn't enough of a clear and obvious error to overturn it. WTF?

so are most headers then.

I am not going to read it, and may be wrong, but I sincerely hope that the "how football became broken beyond repair" special report(in this country anyway) refers to sky and co buying the league, renaming it, and choosing a handful of "favourite clubs" to dominate. While along with uefa, supporting them to that end, to line their own pockets and take money out.

I suspect though, that it will be how a club with a rich history, that has experienced the true ups and downs of football since the 1880s took on the above.

With shrewd owners making sound investments this club flew in the face of the "closed shop" policy of footballs self proclaimed elite with its self preserving financial "rules", and became the record breaking, free flowing,free scoring, domestic treble winning club we see today.

The only thing thats "broken" is the grip of those chosen clubs on football, and the dreams of the sad trolls like delaney and the rest of the medias history club arselickers.

Well worth repeating. Bang on.

Eh?

well the great minds of Blue Moon can't agree then. That was my understanding but another poster disputed that.

Pretty sure the other poster is wrong.
