Old Trafford 15 Jan 2023
From an offside position Rashford ran with the ball for thirty yards shielding it but not touching it
Referee decided that he did not interfere with play

Wembley 17 May 2025
Henderson handles the ball outside of his area playing the ball away from Erling
The officials decided it was not a DOGSO so no action was taken

The vast majority including pundits commentators and opposition fans deemed both decisions to be wrong and even some of the worse decisions they had seen

Both decisions went against Manchester City

On both occasions the referee involved was Stuart Atwell
On both decisions Darren McCann was involved as either as linesman or Deputy VARView attachment 156654

I don’t like the cu ts but there’s a reason the Dippers make sure there’s never a repeat.

VAR is just shit and the officals are incompetent. We had a big decision go for us with that Rodders hand ball at Everton. Every club thinks its stacked against them. Its the lack of consistency and the fact that it appears to have as much human error involved as when it was just the ref on the field.

Before VAR we had one fuckwit with a whistle fucking up, now we have two fuckwits fucking up with a monitor to rubber stamp their fuckwittery.

VAR can't intervene unless it was deemed a DOGSO offence, SO WHY DID IT?

The rodders handball wasnt handball according to the laws regarding handball that were in use that season.
The fact that you and many others have been gaslit to use it as an example of us 'getting away with one' is telling.

Should we go full scouse and do what Liverpool did and demand replays and then question the sporting integrity of the competition? It worked for them with the decisions they get now.

Does no good when our own fans are repeating scouser talking points. Richarlison was offside in the build up to that play so whether Rodri handled or not became irrelevant. I cant think of one major decision that has gone our way in a big match over many years. And I can reel off more than a dozen that went the other way.

If he handles it or not it doesn’t make a difference, there was an off side before hand which led io the correct decision.

Was thinking about this as soon as i woke up.

It didn't make any difference. They have got decisions particularly at Anfield from way before that episode

At what time does Howard Webb announce his accustomed apology ?

From memory, it was the only time the big nosed bastard stayed on his feet the whole game?

Take the rose tinted glasses off fella. Rodder's hand ball was as blatant as the red card should have been yesterday.

Because VAR are the ones that make the decision whether to deem it as that or not, and in this case they inexplicably didn’t.

so they stopped the game to play out the charade, mind boggling

The Rodri not handball is no anywhere near these two incidents in fact the way the law has been changed it wouldn’t even be a consideration now also VAR looked at it and said there was insufficient evidence from all angles coupled with an offside situation in the build up

Have you read any of the posts above highlighting why it wasn’t a handball?

To decide it wasn’t They decided it was handball nothing else so no further action

That wasn't handball from behind the goal there was a photo that shows the ball hitting his shirt shoulder! The photo that keeps doing the rounds the ball hasn't stopped moving and the ball was moving up! Oh and it was offside
