The Stones Goal

[ysmsa]

Was that the tit in the VAR box who told the referee to have a look as it shouldn’t be disallowed?

Somebody alerted the ref as he didn't disallow it straight away!
It was a bit odd on tv,

Goal

No goal

VAR

Goal

Absolutely brilliant how the online tarquins are crying about how the goal stood-Funny how they weren't moaning the other week when was it Gabriel or Saliba blocked Ederson "cleverly" to take the lead at the Etihad.

Never seen a clubs fans who lack so much self awareness.
Nothing wrong with the goal at all yesterday

You may or may not be correct but there was no reaction from the players or the linesman until Wolves Manager came running onto the pitch screaming offside offside

Running onto the pitch as he was watching a reply on small screen by the looks of it.

Shouldn't be allowed that.

I have looked at the replay, studied this thread carefully and looked at the results in the media. I conclude that it was a goal.

Arsenal's goal against us, from a corner.
Nothing to see, no controversy.

Funny how Arsenal blocking our keeper and scoring against us was great tactics and perfectly legal goal with no crying and candle burning, but ours against Wolves is controversial and we have paid the Ref off again.

I remember there being something in the rules about a player being able to stand his ground if he's already there (ie. doesn't have to get out of the way if the keeper), but it's a foul if a player runs into a position where they have no chance of getting the ball and blocks the keeper off.

That totally defines the differences between our goal yesterday and what Arsenal did to Ederson.

We should have made more of a fuss about that, but I guess it's not our style to winge and whine.

It was Martinelli who had his arm over Ederson’s shoulder as the ball was in playing distance for Ederson.

A very different situation to yesterday.

The fake outrage around this is still off the scale. Jeeez that goal annoyed people.

Bernardo bumped the goalie but then moved out of the way. Martinelli and another literally blocked Ederson as he attempted to get the ball. Different yes but for me Arsenals was more of a foul

I genuinely, even in this mard arse world of over sensationalized selling, am slightly staggered at how the agenda of pretty much two or three clubs has got into the mainstream.

They started by screaming offside. Showing that they don't even know the laws of the game.

Then it was blocking the keepers sight. Except replays show he wasn't and the goalie saw it all the way.

Then it's a push. They say that with a straight face, at a push and shoving that goes on at every corner in every game in the land. When we have Arsenal literally pinning a goalie between two players to stop him jumping, and that is ok, in every other game it's shoving and pushing as part of the game.

And then it isn't. Because it doesn't help two or three clubs who see us as rivals. So they create a media narrative that we're cheats, we're lucky, the referee made a mistake. If that goal is scored not in the final minutes, nobody questions it. If it's scored by wolves, nobody questions it.

If they want a game where that is a foul, where every push and shove from a corner is a free kick or a penalty, then go ahead and put pressure to write that rule. But they have to write it into law, because it doesn't bloody exist right now!

But I think we all know that they don't actually want that. Not when other clubs benefit from this interpretation as well. It's only a problem when city do it, right? Because, um, history or something?

Suck it up. Legit goal. Move on. Want to beat us to the league? Then be better on the frigging pitch, or piss off. But for the love of all that is holy, stop whining!
