I know Karen was fucking abysmal as she always is, the stupid excited shouty thing she does it excruciating to listen to but also, why does Matterface feel like he has to describe small details about players whilst commentating, it's like he thinks he is writing a novel, just say the player's name and there position on the pitch, I don't give a fuck if he's tall, dark and handsome and hails from Austria you fucking turnip, it grates on me whenever he is on the TV or Radio tbh.

Said it in the match and post-match thread: ITV were a fucking disgrace. They didn't even show the potential handball in the build up to our goal, even when they had ample opportunity to do so during the 5 minute VAR check, yet when Ruben handballed it the were falling over themselves to get the replay on.

Also as one-sided a commentary you will hear. Karney absolutely gushing after the Dipper's scored, yet when we scored (after that protracted VAR bollocks) it was like she was making polite conversation at a wake. When Nunez scored it was like she'd just won the fucking lottery or something. Utter embarrassment.

It looked like hand ball in real time especially the players reaction from multiple angles but no fucker is showing it.

Probably because it’s meaningless tbf. We scored before the ball went out of play, so it’s a bit of a moot point.

Added to the fact they took fucking ages to give to obvious goal I was just disappointed to not see it in any highlights. No way offside decisions should take that long, did var rollback to the point they had to give a pen or a goal and thought fuck it?

It did seem to take ages, but it was a fairly close offside call and imagine they looked at the Foden/Adrian thing too. Obviously at the time I was convinced they were trying to find a way to not give it, but in the cold light of day not everything is a conspiracy against us.

Wasn’t suggesting a conspiracy, I hate var for offside as they claim what isn’t possible according to the laws of physics with cast iron certainty and var when we are awarded a goal seems to take twice as long as when ruled out. The last bit might be blue blinkers but it seems goals we score are subjected to longed reviews than the average.

Highlights included

Matterface and that woman (Karen Carney is it) unable to say that city’s goal was onside
Instead saying ohhhhh its tight I tell u what it’s very close to call

And the woman saying the whole of the ball is clearly out in an inconclusive replay of the ball pulled back for Haaland to finish

...you can also add to that, Carney saying that it would have been a definite penalty if it hadn't have been for an offside call when Eddie came out and got a hand to knock it away from Nunez. She was more one eyed than Jim Beglin!

True. I am a republican but just stand there killing time when it is played. I hate Liverpool and everything they stand for but it is time to stop playing anthems unless it's an international match perhaps.
 
You have to laugh at the plank who asked pep did he have any worries about the chances he (Haaland) missed today. What a tosser and a rubbish journalist. He’s clearly trying to get a rise out of Pep. Wish Pep would’ve asked him why he asked that ? “It’s one game. That’s a pathetic and lazy question, next question please”. Perhaps making them look small amongst their cronies might make them wake up.
 
BBC: "Nunez strikes first in battle with Haaland"

Let them big Nunez up. I think there won't be a proper battle, for Haaland will score a lot more goals.

Watching on TV it didn't look close at all, could clearly see he was onside from the very first time they showed the replay.

It should have been a 10s review for the offside and then maybe 30seconds max for Foden, he didn't foul the keeper and the keeper never really had the ball under control.

Really don't know why it took so long.
 
A day on and I’m sort of glad that the bin dipping hysteria has started. I can see us doing great again over the course of the season.

Some of our players have got off a bit lightly given the anti City bias, with the no shows from the American Tour being being helped by the Nunez Vs Haaland hype,
 
The Man Utd Daily Telegraph is doing it's bit to keep them relevant. Front page and full page dedicated article on a pre season friendly. Standard
