foetus said:delusional spud said:The fact of the matter is that it was 1-0 in the 36th minute when Dawson's goal was incorrectly disallowed. It's not like we don't have sufficient proof of the linesman's error. Should have been 1-1 plain and simple. Not even City fans can rightly argue that.
Now up to that point, at 1-1 in the 37th minute (which should have been reality apart from a linesman's error), who on this board would have called our performance dreadful? Extend that to 1-1 at the half and I'll ask the same question.
Momentum was beginning to swing our way, and we all know it doesn't take much for Ade to put one in given the current run of form he's on.
Move to the 2nd half...
50 minutes in and Danny Rose makes an excellent tackle to keep it to 1-0 (reminder.... should've been 1-1 at that point if not for the linesman's error).
Instead of a corner to City, and possibility of a counter, the linesman decides to wave his flag around like an idiot. Now we have HD, slow motion camera's showing the tackle on the ball and not the man. Again, the linesman made an error. Result: Red Card, Danny Rose. We're now down 2 goals and to 10 men against one of the best sides in Europe. Game effectively, over.
Now I say all this to point out the fact that at 50 minutes into the game, we should have been looking at 1-1 and everything to play for.
The fact of the matter is that we were hard done tonight. Terrible linesmen decisions led to a terrible scoreline. It's as simple as that.
His name says it all.
Good fit for sure.
