The tactical timeout from Donnarumma

[.db.]

The one time the City-hate bias of the media is actually a positive.

They mentioned it in one commentary, might have been Sky's highlights one?

Re Bernie's block on the keeper, for the last 2 weeks on Ref Watch Bothroyd stated that Gigi had to be stronger ,guess what ? yesterday he stated that it was a clear foul on the goalie.He made similar statement when comparing the Caicedo challenge for the red card with Fodens foul nah the week before with huge smirk .....no agenda yeah right

Yes, if it stops others, and Arseanal I'm looking at you, then get the rule changed ASAP.

I can't cope with that non entity. I posted here a few weeks ago that imo he looks like he needs a good shower and to change his socks! Irrational maybe but I am female. He's a know nothing idiot, showered or otherwise.

I mean exactly WHO is he???

Every team exploits the rules one way or another, that's just the consequence of playing in the highest level of sport. But if City does it, it's the world's biggest crime and put under a spotlight.

How about in the same game, when the scoreline was 2-2 and Farke's player went down feigning head injury? Didn't see him say anything about that.

Yeah, he can Farke right off.

Ultimately, unless the Leeds manager can 100% prove donnarumma was faking it the only thing that requires action here is the Leeds manager getting sanctioned for bringing the game into disrepute.

Which is what Joe Hart was getting at on MOTD, when he said “is Farke a qualified doctor or Physiotherapist, how does he know if Donnarumma was injured or not?”

It was 2-1 when it happened. The subs were what made more of a difference for us.

Why not introduce 2-minute timeouts (one for each team) ? They have them in other sports.

Definitely not.

To be fair, the Leeds player got hit on the head with the ball. He could've been killed, just like van Persie was that time when it happened to him while playing for United!

In another thread I said that when players are ‘injured’ then no more than one player should be allowed within 10 yards of the technical area. Solves this bending of the rules in one simple stroke. But let’s not kid ourselves here, Ramsdale at Southampton and Arsenal, Martinez at Villa, Pickford, Raya, De Gea have all been doing this for many seasons without any uproar from the media. So why has what Donna did created such a furore?

Because it's them cheating 115 bastards!

No more water breaks in hot weather for MCFC games then as they may turn into impromptu tictac coaching meetings

 

[eyalluvitt]

You could .....they do

Bernardo v Villa , robbed Mings the merciless
Sterling v Stoke, manhandled 6ft 10 Crouch

Yep.
He's a cheeky Farke...

I wonder if the criticism about this tactic affected us last night.

As I wouldn't have begrudged us doing it in the 80th minute to calm the fucker down.
