Premier League Games 2/3/4 March '24

[SebastianBlue]

Just watched the Nunez goal.

First, what is the Forest player doing trying to dribble it out?

Second, their keeper has plenty of time (and can see the flick all the way) to attempt to get a hand on Nunez’s header but instead just shuffles in place and watches it go past. The ball wasn’t even in the corner of the goal—it was as near to him as it was to the post as it went by. It literally takes two seconds to go from Nunez’s head to bouncing past the goal line.

I can’t speak to whether the amount of stoppage time played was legitimate, or whether Liverpool being given possession of the ball after the Konate head injury was actually impactful to the outcome, as I didn’t watch the match.

But the attempted dribbling out and the keeper not moving for a ball hit well inside the goal (would be a piss poor, easily saved shot if it were a penalty) is just woeful.

Not saying Forest intentionally played to increase the chances of a late winner being scored, but that they certainly didn’t do the basic things to prevent it.

Likely just fatigue of a shite team but it boggles the mind, all the same.

What about the Rodri handball?
Refs def all in City's pockets.

You mean the Rodri handball that wasn't given because Richarlison was offside in the lead up to it?

Yeah.
I've seen more than I ever thought possible.
Can you honestly tell me you think the murders and the rags are referred the same as us

Just saying what they say on their forums.

Im not going to go into detail as it will derail the thread and I'm not implying City benefit overall from ref decisions as they get some go against them as well. Same as Arsenal. Same as Liverpool. But as you asked the question, Akanji, Kovacic to name 2.

Sometimes you get good decisions sometimes bad. But football fans only seem to remember the ones that go against them.

Both had zero impact on the end results, unlike today.

We

Imagine the hype around Watkins if he wore Red

He’s a very good player. I wrote on here a couple of years ago (post Sergio and pre-Haaland) that we should be taking a run at him. The figure being bandied around at the time was £50m which seemed too much at the time but probably looks cheap now.

People need to calm the fuck down ffs

Liverpool scored a late winner, Get over it!

Instead of going on about stoppage time and head injuries ect Take a look at the Forest player trying to dribble his way out of the box in the 99th fucking minute!

Concentrate on what we have to do starting with tomorrow! Plus, It's time we went to that shithole Sunday week and get a WIN! We've a fabulous opportunity to go their and put them cunts in their place...

Forget what's happened in the past at Anfield and our record ect, Records are their to be broken and us City fans should know that more than anyone seen as Pep and the lads have smashed the record books year after year.

Grow a set and move on.

Villa fans singing
Oh what a night
Watching Villa on a Thursday night
You play Watford
Coz your fuckin' shite
What a feeling what a sight

Talk about missing the point of our original version

Brilliant post.

Forest absolutely furious. Scenes after the game aren’t conducive to the powers that be helping the dippers to a trophy. Be interesting to see what that tit Clattenberg comes out with on back of this. How Mike Dean is employed by sky to offer insights is only possible in a world where someone who spits at kids is a poster boy for punditry

The odd thing is that they are constantly fucking about with the offside rule and the handball rule but the easiest one to fix and make transparent is the timing . A seperate timekeeper and a visible 45 minute countdown clock so everyone can see when it's been stopped and restarted.
