`I agree the Fernandez goal shouldnt have stood.....i think there was interference - but the rules allow that goal to be given as I said on here at the time....The rule needs to be changed and made clearer/more solid/less open to interpritation...for me if you are on the field of play and in the attacking half you are interfering with play as you will affect the defenders positioning

As for whether its Haaland or Silva you are right it doesnt matter - whether its either of them what the defender did yesterday isnt a foul..it wouldnt even make Silva fall over unless he deliberately goes down.....too much of that in the game - Grealish is another who does it way way too much

Fair enough, though I disagree that the offside rule was applied properly at the rags, but agree that the leeway to interpret rules means there is huge inconsistency. That inconsistency is creating more aggression, but taking away physicality if that makes sense.

Perhaps Haaland just thought, fuck it, I’m always getting pinged if I lay a hand or use my arm on a defender, my team had a goal chalked off at Anfield for that reason, so a player has pushed me with his hand, it has to be a free kick.

And perhaps I wouldn’t be on here talking about Haaland with you if I didn’t think we always get the thin end of the wedge with decisions e.g other teams are allowed to waste time against us as it’s a nice leveller, but as soon as we do it the yellow card is out.

Grealish gets kicked all over the fucking pitch..

Shonky line for the first one?

Looked off to me WHEN THE PASS WAS MADE. Seems like they rolled it back a frame or two.

Nothing wrong with how they applied it. The second was slightly iffy but again they did make the correct call. The dodgy one was the non sending off.

Attwell at the rags again, and a contentious decision, not suspicious at all that is it.
They are going to get the rags to win the league it’s as clear as day.
Corrupt without doubt.

I heard Tierney was the VAR reviewer. Another pro red tosser who seems to always work against us.

Well there was that penalty last week when Grealish tripped himself up.

It was a clear penalty.

 

[Dirty Harry]

It was a clear penalty.

It was, doesn’t take much to clip someone’s foot/leg running at speed so it hits their other leg, we used to do it as kids all the time.

It was a clear penalty.

You can argue all day if it was a foul but the one thing it definitely wasn’t was ‘clear’

When I’m considering a decision for City, I like to apply the United test.

Can you put your hand on your heart and say if that was a United player you would simply say… Yep, fair enough clear foul?

I think it's bordering on criminality frankly those 2 together at the swamp so soon after the bent Derby fiasco

It must have been agony all these years for Mason pretending to be a Bolton fan, at least he will have peace with himself and can finally "come out" as a dirty rag

If it's true(big if) he (or some other rag shill)has been caught bang to rights saying "levelling up" then they need to be arrested and punished with the full weight of the law. PIGMOL taking the easy way out won't cut it.

It's called , we're rubbing your nose in it and you can't touch us.
