FFP didn't work. Banning City from Europe didn't work.2nd goal will probably result in another rule change ;-)
This is so shit, another rule that favours defence. So if the player is caught offside, he is out of the game until when, a defender can linger on the ball for 5, 10 seconds and what then, the offside player cannot challenge.
You can bet they’ll be something else along very soonFFP didn't work. Banning City from Europe didn't work.
Ignoring City and pretending this is the first time season they're top of the league. Didn't work.
Change the off side rules and immediately City score a goal so the liner flags off side. Doesn't work.
Whats next to try and stop City?
After van Dijk got injured, the football world was crying about how the linesman’s flag should go up earlier.Absolute howler from Sian Massey tonight. Flag should stay down.
They’ll bring in a new rule where you can only play in the CL after this season if you’ve won it before, and we’ll go and win it this season!You can bet they’ll be something else along very soon
I trust i will get up tomorrow and find another rule change
I’ve heard in the grapevine that the Premier League are installing mounted machine guns at the entrance to the Etihad in an attempt to stop us.FFP didn't work. Banning City from Europe didn't work.

that is a great point and will be used to slow the game down by other teams
I suppose even officials can get confused with all the pissing about with the rulesAbsolute howler from Sian Massey tonight. Flag should stay down.
Absolute howler from Sian Massey tonight. Flag
Liners are apparently told to keep flags down, so not sure why Sian raised flag, more so that there wasnt an offside at the time. Hope it doesnt result in her being targetted or punished when many refs get away with far worse "errors".Absolute howler from Sian Massey tonight. Flag should stay down.
Ridiculous rule in the first place, but at least it was the same for everyone.
Changing the rules halfway through a season is even more ridiculous.
Will they change the rules again after another controversial one tonight?
The season will be abandoned for Covid if we’re winning in May.FFP didn't work. Banning City from Europe didn't work.

Rubbish. If the attack stopped how did we score?I disagree. She waited until Berny turned back, at that point the attack had stopped and she could flag as per the rules as there wasnt an imminent chance of City scoring. The ref should have blown for the offside. He didnt and we scored and the piss boiling started.
I fully accept berny was onside and she was wrong in that respect though.
How do you know the attack had stopped did Bernado tell you?I disagree.

When he received the ball he was running towards the goal so she did not flag thereby allowing VAR to make the decision if Berny scored but he ended up near the dead ball line and started to go back. At that point Bernies attack had ended so she flagged, the ref ignored her, Bernie passed it back and the rest is history.Rubbish. If the attack stopped how did we score?
Then it will be on points average, so I hope they stop it tomorrow morning.The season will be abandoned for Covid if we’re winning in May.
If Bernardo turning away from goal is end of attack then the flag should never stay down.When he received the ball he was running towards the goal so she did not flag thereby allowing VAR to make the decision if Berny scored but he ended up near the dead ball line and started to go back.

OK it looks simple Bernie passed it, Cancelo scored but what if instead of shooting he passed to Sterling who passed to etc etc who then shoots and we score. How far back does Var go.
Anyway, did you see the look she gave the Ref :-) I get them off Mrs Mist all the time/
