Old rules he’s offside as soon as Ortega kicks it but surely with all these different phases of play he’s no longer offside by the time he challenges for it. File it under subjective.

Alvarez is definitely offside there to be fair (9 seconds in) and runs back for the ball and gets involved in play.
The recent goal at Old Trafford was a mistake that the officials didn’t discuss for long enough to come to the correct decision and VAR should have come in. But that doesn’t mean that ongoing all these decisions should also be called incorrectly.
You haven’t got a clip of Zinchenko kicking Walker in the head have you? I’m certain it was malicious and he should have been sent off, but I’ve only seen it that once when it happened.
The club has to do something and call this out, but they wont and the officiating will continue as we are a soft touch.
I almost stopped watching after 10 minutes yesterday as could see how yet again the officiating was going to be, it is every single game now. Why watch when you know it is blatant cheating going on.
Mistakes happen yes, but when its week in week out its no longer mistakes. The last 4 games, Everton no penalty given for standing on Mahrez's foot, Rags- we all know, Spurs home the non penalty for handball, Wolves the non penalty on Jack, last nights officiating.
And thats before you get to the no cards for fouls on us (usual 92nd minute booking last night to pad out the stats as 1 card in 14 fouls looked suspicious) , the very soft cards for us for less, the time wasting allowed. The club should be asking why we got a card for time wasting last night when it was not even time wasting when the Arsenal keeper was at it all game.
The club had an excellent opportunity to call it out after Wolves with the same Var person, England not giving 2 blatant penalties 2 games running but did not bother so no doubt he will be back soon to screw us over again.
As much as i despise the Rags and Ferguson, they had it right when it come to treatment of the media and officials. I would hate to be like them but we are the total opposite and far too mild when it comes to these matters. If you are an official and have a call to make, would you give it against us knowing there will be no repercussions, no moaning by the players, no antics by Pep and ignored by the media or would you give it against Arsenal (and others) knowing the shit storm that will follow, surrounded by players (which gets you a token fine only), managers going mad at you, being called out in the media.

I agree about it being offside, I think any attempt to run towards the ball means you're offside instantly but it's the amount of referees that came out after the Rashford goal to say different. Christina Unkel being a stand out person in America.
Here's the Zinchenko one, it's one of them where you can't tell whether he purposely didn't lift his foot high enough to miss Walker, you'd like to think not but he was overly-aggressive from the moment he came on last night.
His 2nd foul on Bernardo should have been a 2nd yellow though. Tierney shit it.
Another similar one on saka in the first half, correctly called

Yeah hard to tell isn’t it? He’s takes a look down at him, but that might be him trying not to contact him. At the time I thought he tired to ‘do him’.
He should have got a second yellow though, indeed.

It wasn't even given as a free kick.
Well all know the goal at Old Toilet was a “mistake”. Apart from numerous officials who tried to justify it at the time…… Alvarez is off, no one thinks otherwise surely. His movement towards the ball impacted Lokonga decision making who cleared it.
Don’t think the zinc one was malicious personally. Booking for the pull tho

Wasnt there a similar one with Haaland, when he got wrestled to the ground and the ref gave an arsenal foul? I maybe wrong just thought it a weird one possibly

It's blatant.
I wish city react to this shit, but have a funny feeling whatever city do, the media will turn it against city.
I think Pep should be more vocal about it tho, but Pep seems he prefers sarcasm when talking about the standard of refereeing city get.

Doesn’t really matter what the media say. All that matters is getting into the psyche of the nation. The more we say fuck all about the officiating, nothing changes.
After Pep had a rant about it in 2018 and said he’d gone to the governing body with a list of decisions, I felt like the stupidly shit decisions went away for a while.

You can bet that if another City player got to that and smashed it in from the half way line and ran up to the ref saying he was not offside, like Fernandes did the goal would have stood like it did in the derby.
No me neither.

You have posted that a hundred times now, that and salad diving , your mind is not for changing or even debatingBut what are you actually doing to highlight this ‘corruption’ aside from venting on a forum ?
Every PL club has fans moaning on forums about refs/VAR decisions and feel aggrieved it goes against them all the time
Man Utd fans angered by VAR decisions
Man Utd fans angered by VAR as Man City & Bernardo Silva awarded controversial penalty a week after Sancho drama | Goal.com UK
Manchester United fans disagreed with Craig Pawson's decision to award Manchester City a penalty against Brighton, likening the challenge to one on Jadon Sanchowww.goal.com
"Clear foul" - Man Utd fans react to let-off as early Arsenal goal chalked off
The Gunners thought they had taken an early lead in today's crunch clash at Old Trafford but a foul in the build-up saw Gabriel Martinelli's effort ruled out.www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
'Robbery!' — Manchester United fans fume at VAR call for Real Sociedad penalty
Man United had a controversial penalty awarded against them in the second half of their match against Real Sociedadwww.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Many more examples for all clubs
You’re literally doing the same as other fans for all clubs that think officials are against them
If everyone actually boycotted the game because of this ‘corruption’ then no, they wouldn’t win and it would seriously have to be looked into
Until then it just carry’s on - fans for all clubs moaning about refs decisions and calling it ‘biased, ‘corrupt etc

Tierney has form for failing to issue a 2nd yellow for fouls against our players.
Milner at the Victimdrome last season should have had 2 or 3 second yellows that day.

Everyone calls for city to react, but there is no argument or point we could make that wouldn't be twisted to seem like bitterness, conspiracy, sour grapes etc. Its galling, but silence is the only stance the club can take without damaging our reputation.
