Dont remember the press banging on about this in fact your could hear the laughter in Tylers voice !

CONTROVERSIAL GOAL: Gary Crosby v Man City - YouTube

Well, no-one at the time knew whether that was legal.

 

[give it to gordon]

or this


And look who's in the assistant refs ear having a go and trying to intimidate him, who was probably pointing out to Twattenberg that it should be disallowed for Nani handballing it.

not the same as Rodri, as Rodri did nothing wrong unlike the utd player that handballed the ball, the utd player knew he had cheated by handball and that caused the confusion. ;)

Did we win 1-0 or 2-0 last night? Everyone seems to forget we scored a second

It's only a few week since United were "unlucky to concede a goal because the scorer was only just onside"!!

Yeh but everyone knows that should never have been a penalty as the header was going wide - do keep up........

I was going to come in and say it's worth pointing out the BBC didn't even mention the "controversy" in their headline or paid it any attention in the match report, they simply said something dismissive like "Mings was wrong, Rodri was not offside".


But when I went to link the piece this morning and dig out the quote, I noticed they've changed it significantly and added 2 articles about the decision.

You’ve made me click on the BBC website again mate, which is something I didn’t want to do. But on the main BBC Football page, these 3 headlines are featured prominently (within the first 10 articles).

‘farcical Man City goal’

‘it’s a rubbish law’

‘did you get juggling balls for Christmas?’

‘pathetic decision’

If there’s anyone left that can’t see what’s going on, or think that the BBC report fairly and honestly on us, then I really don’t know what to say.

The factual headline would be; ‘The Laws on Offside, why Man City’s goal stood’.

They are literally the Sun, Star, Guardian, Mail level of click bait - and we have to pay for it.

Nah. No whistle. Keeper with ball in his hands. Ref had played advantage.

One of the articles is titled "Its a Rubbish Law". If City win the league it will be "it's a rubbish league anyway" or "football is rubbish game anyway".

All those BBC titles are in quote marks as they come from Dean Smith.
