In fairness it was close - but what the facts show is EVERY 50/50 decision (and some like red card vs leicester, Fernandez goal and Rashford's against scousers which are not even vaguely 50/50) go in their favour. Show me the last time a 50/50 went against them. It's like throwing 2 dice getting 10 double sixes in a row and insisting the dice are fair

Even the change in commentator‘s voice made it clear how shocked they were but not surprised at the same time. I also used my trusty ruler to draw the line and its not even close .Naked eyes can see that without any help. Shit runs so deep, i’m speechless.

Football Supporter Association.....

It's time for supporters of all clubs to come together to highlight what is going on in the game,the officials involved and the clubs who are benefiting.

The corruption is manipulating results in plain view and they are relying on the independence of tribal rival fans to carry on without exposure,publicity and sanction.

It is unacceptable that PGMOL is an unaccountable body responsible for a multi billion £ industry.

The FSA should be our 'agent provocetuer' in mobilising fans of all clubs against the clear and obvious incompetence and corruption stealing our game.

Spot on.
The way I see it is like organized crime , shielding with different layers .
But let’s suppose I own a business and I hired a consulting company to oversee my business and they fuck up constantly.
Ultimately I have to take full responsibility and deal accordingly.

Who heads up the FSA ? haven't looked but i,d put money on any if not all of the red tops being actively involved.

Remember this game and you were proper done over

Yeah it all looked bad enough from where I was sat, but when I turned on my phone on the way home to see numerous messages of support from L***s supporting friends who can't usually wait to stick the boot in, that's when I knew we'd been monumentally stitched up. I've only one ambition left in life now, and that's to see Forest and their fat arsed weapon of a chairman go bust.

The trouble with that is that fans of each club are completely at odds with fans of every other club as to who they think the clubs who are benefiting are.

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?

Yes.

More dropped points then

That Rag should not be allowed anywhere near our games, expect his usual performance like Leeds away last season where Bournemouth will be allowed to kick us off the park without punishment

With Madley on VAR backing him up, looks like the Prem definitely want the scum in this race.

I‘ ve watched the replay of rags second goal from yesterday and I can’t believe this was given on side . Fix is real.

I watched this afternoon only to have a look at what some on here suggested could have been a rag sending off, but that offside, is it just me or did the var lines appear to be drawn far from parallel to the cut of the grass? Using the nearest grass parallel, behind the players, it seemed like the line started at ~2m from grass cut near side, and managed to be only 1m or so from the grass cut far side, therefore suggesting onside within the 'triangle' created!
Perhaps my trigonometry is just having another off-day!

Is there a still we can look at?

 

[RayCTID]

Just replicate what Lord LV is continuously doing with the offside law. Put pressure on the match officials. On top of that stop being wasteful with our chances.

I once went to an FSA meeting involving the fans of clubs playing in Europe. Three from MUST, three from Spirit of Shankly, plus Tony Barrett who was working for LFC as Supporter Liaison Officer, two or three from Arsenal (although different groups, two from Spurs and one or two from Chelsea. And me, representing the only one of those clubs that doesn't have an active Supporters Trust fan body.

Which combination of those five clubs do you think is going to be pushing the FSA to investigate?

The replay I watched didn’t have the var lines so I used my own judgement with a help of my handy ruler . I freezed the frame and used my ruler just to confirm that my eyes are not deceiving me. He is about foot and half offside in my estimate.

If you are actually interested in an opinion of why that might appear so, the ESPN guy addressed it today.

A new body perhaps...

FAC.

Fans Against Corruption.

Fans stopped the ESL,something must be done to stop what almost every fan experiences and witnesses on a regular if not institutionalised basis.

There has to be an uprising and it must start with fans. This result manipulation in plain sight cannot be allowed to go on !!

hahahaa those lines are not even parallel ffs

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Totally agree mate. Didn’t even give a yellow. Mandy catches Rashford’s toe and gets a yellow. No wonder Maddison is trying to speak to him. Atwell is absolutely clueless.

I think Attwell referees according to the best Knee Jerk Manual available. His season is littered with decisions that from one week to another can only be described as 'contradictpry or variable.'!

Have you seen the Netflix documentary Operation Flagrant Foul on the NBA. It starts off with umpire getting chastised for giving legitimate fouls against Jordan. There’s enough in it to show how they influenced 80% of outcomes by giving or not giving fouls.

"Operation Flagrant Foul,” which is also the name of the federal investigation into Donaghy and the scheme, dives deep into the 2007 gambling scandal that nearly brought down the NBA, calling its integrity into question.
