It could have been a BIG mistake by the officials that cost City a top 4 place, Lucky for us Haaland scored in the first half and the result was in the bag,

That should be a wake-up call for the rest of the season, the City players need to take their chance because we will get done over if we let the officials control the game, taking the officials out of the game was our best tac-tik over the years
 
So Gillet gave handball on the pitch against Haaland. What,the fuck! Look at his position. Ref actually slips and no way he can see if Haaland handles it, which he doesn't.
It is clear that Danso and Gray both potentially handle it before Haaland wins it fairly which the ref would have a clearer view of. Corrupt to the core.
 
Why can’t City show those var replays in slow motion just as the var officials see, and ask the question which part of this was handball?

I just don’t see any handball by Haaland at all, I’m not sure how they can say it was.

Probably the ass ref that called the handball, then VAR couldn't see if it hit the arm or not.

I watched a stream from Prime yesterday, and they showed replays in slow motion, but you couldn't really tell if it hit the arm or not, so I guess that's why the on-field decision stood.
 
How bloody brilliant was Khusanov. One of the first names on the team sheet already. So quick, reads the game superbly, strong and clean in the tackle. His distribution is decent too, and with more coaching he can become outstanding in that respect too. That long pass over the top down the right for Savinho showed he has vision and passing quality.
 
Great 1st half, should have been 3 up and game over
Poor 2nd half in comparison but we held on and showed some grit.
Doku superb 1st half, Khusanov superb 2nd half.
Farcical VAR decision...if there was any handball then it was Haaland who handled it last, after it hit Gray's arm then the other Spurs defender was allowed to juggle it for a couple of seconds. if anything, it's a penalty so if you disallow the goal you have to award a pen. So-called professional people cocking up a relatively simple decision.
Pep, have a word with Savinho and ask him who the big guy with the blond hair is to his left on the pitch. Then ask him why he still prefers having a shot, despite his abysmal finishing stats this season, instead of passing it to the big blond guy next to him
 
I always thought Jarred Gillett was one of the better refs in the prem, but maybe the more they ref the harder it becomes for them with the constant scrutiny. He reffed us at Newcastle earlier this season and gave Anthony Gordon a disputed pen to equalise. Apparently he later wrote to City apologising for that decision
 
I think it's fair enough for the ref to give it as handball in real time. The ball does bounce close to Haaland's left arm at one point, and two Spurs defenders are in the way. It all happens so fast and it's fair enough for the ref to go with the safer decision of ruling the goal out instead of letting it stand. But for VAR to look at it for three minutes and come to the same conclusion is mental. And what's even more mental is that if the ref had given the goal, VAR wouldn't have overturned it anyway.

That’s the point though

If the ref is not sure then allow the goal and let VAR deal with it

Ridiculous decision

The ref said ball hits hand but he can’t see it with players in front of him

The ball first hits Spuds player so is it then a pen for us

Always thought hand ball is hand going to ball not ball hitting the hand but the amount of rule changes who knows

Thankfully we won
 
An excellent battling performance and a welcome 3 points, totally soured by Crocodile Dundee’s unconscious bias and the VAR team too busy circle jerking whilst watching the dipper game to intervene
