Ref Watch

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I’ve seen it many times. Foden nicks the ball away, the keeper catches Fodens left foot. Nowhere near the ball.

Not only that mate, but the keeper takes out Foden's right leg with his thigh as well, as he follows through with his lunge.

Again, just for the record, I am in "the keeper barely touched it but it WAS a penalty" camp. I don't think anyone on here is saying it wasn't a penalty.

same with me 100% penalty for studs into Fodens ankle causing him to be off-balance but ive seen a better clip where you can clearly see the deviation a few inches after Foden toches it and its not ball spin.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

anyone who does not think that its a pen for the foul on foden is either (a) corrupt (b) memer of the F.A. or (3) fik as fuk

4) Should have gone to Specsavers.

If that had been Salah instead of Foden, he would have done a good impression of a corkscrew whilst throwing his arms in the air squealing like a pig and ending up in a writhing heap on the floor after a double somersault.

Every time Salah gets a pen he does the impression of a skydiver jumping out of a plane. Arms and legs wide apart and thrown back. Sky Diver is pretty apt, considering they cover most of them.

Having watched that gif for about 5 minutes, the ball does deviate slightly but not sure it was the keeper who touched it. May just have been the pitch.

How do you account for the ball changing direction after Foden kicks it?

Probably as a result of Newton's First Law of Motion.

We've had an inquiry on here to find that out (And we're still not sure). The VAR refs came to the decision in no time at all.

For the first time I thought corruption in that, but I think it's bias - a total unwillingness to look at 50/50 decisions in our favour. It's like 50/50 means it can go against City. I might be wrong but I cant remember big game 50/50s going our way? I can remember loads going against.

So Andy Madley is Bobby Madley's brother. Clearly poor eyesight and/or stupidity runs in the family.

Neither. Pure cheating. There was no angle that showed McCarthy getting anything whatsoever on the ball. No surprise given the media narrative that we might have a title race after the derby loss

Or anywhere near it.

Surely he would have managed a half pike as well

....and then got up to smack home the penalty with a big grin, before dropping to his knees and praying to PGMOL for them looking over him.

Great to hear many of our rivals managers coming out and challenging VAR after the Foden incident.

Dyce summed it up perfectly while commenting on the overall shit state of the game when he said 'you get nothing for trying to do the right thing and everything for doing the wrong thing'

When you watch the Dippers and the Rags,the two most shithouse clubs for manufacturing a decision,its abundantly evident that we are officiated to in a very different manner.

Decisions used to balance themselves out over a season,but for us,those days have long gone,and that isn't down to anything other than intervention and corruption.

You have to admire their continued,although ultimately unsuccesful,efforts to derail us though.......the pathetic,bitter,cunts.

It wasn’t even 50/50 mate. It was a stonewall pen.

We’d have missed anyway! :)

 

[Kakhaber The Great]

Surely he would have managed a half pike as well

And a triple salchow, don't forget the triple salchow.

He might've even gone for a quadruple...

... oh, wait... no... he won't be going for one of those...

 

[SWPISHOME]

Or anywhere near it.

Try telling Hinchcliffe that!

 

[sky_blue]

You can see the Southampton goalkeeper gets a touch on the ball in both clips shown in these Twitter posts. It is only a very slight touch. In both clips, the ball deviates very slightly immediately after Foden kicked the ball. In one of the clips, the ball changes direction when in the air, so it can't be because of spin.

Always wondered what kind of folks become refs. Think I have the answer.

followed by Herr Bingo chatting shit to his adoring media sycophants the next day about having seen the state of Salah's foot and that he'd received a "proper knock"

 

[Gray]

It is obvious in the clips above that Foden gets the first touch and it then hits the keepers foot as he clatters Foden, who unlike others we can mention tried valiently to stay on his feet. PGMOL should be ashamed of their incompetence.

 

[andthesunshineband]

Looks like Marriner on Saturday so expect more of the same.
