The Stones Goal

[Really_here]

VAR gets it right, good goal 8-)

Nice to win in the last minute for a change

Its a conversation because the media want it to be. City fans engaging in it are zombie sheep. IMO. (Sorry to the 0.6% of someone who said it should be disallowed).

Silva backs into him let's not get silly here, anyhow the keeper is big enough to deal with any such minimal contact. These kinds of actions happen on every corner. It's a decision based on discretion and in this case the goal should stand.

There really isn't any need to discuss offside or pretend that Silva wasn't being obstructive because that was the exact reason he was stood there.

THIS was interfering.

But he was onside, was pushed (from behind) out of the way by Sa as the ball was kicked, and was doing nothing that would qualify as contravening the rules of the game, so not sure what you are arguing at this point?

It was nothing like the Arsenal incident.

But VAR didn’t seem to notice.

It’s irrelevant anyway because the contact was so minimal it’s not going to get given in England.

But what little contact Silva did make with the ‘keeper was before the corner was taken, so it couldn’t possibly have been penalised anyway.

im not sure i agree

on the replay eddy is stood next to the (very close) arsenal players who form a barrier and eddy just sort of wilts to the ground under no pressure whilst half trying to jump. its also not offside on that one either

1 I said he wasnt offside ie there is no need to discuss offside which is what posters had been commenting on. It's very straightforward that he wasn't in the line of sight of the keeper. Its a non discussion.

2 I said the goal should stand.

Im not sure what you are arguing with me about.

BTW he did back in but I don't feel that was enough to disallow the goal like I said.
