They have their snouts in the trough as well. Ultimately it's the fans who are getting shafted. That's all very well if it's entertaining enough, but we need to believe that it is fair and honest. The decision today exposed the system for what it is, and as the poster has already remarked, it is becoming about as authentic as wrestling .The BBC were always going to sweep it under the carpet. I believe they and the other TV companies are 100% complicit in the coverup of the corruption , being held to ransom by their lucrative TV deals with the PL.
I’m just off stage so haven’t seen motd but I thought they’d sweep it under the carpet as usual. I’m tired of being repeatedly shat on as a City fan. The cheating would be almost bearable if there was an outlet that had the balls to say what’s going on and have an honest debate about what’s happened and call this shit out, but we’re so far beyond that.They have their snouts in the trough as well.

Just heard Dermott Gallagher say that VAR couldn't intervene as it's not a factual error. It's s subjective decision as to whether Rashford interfered with play and therefore was ofside. So as i thought last night and said in the thread, the Linesman has flagged it offside and the referee has overruled it.
So the ref has overruled the linesman's interpretation that Rashford was offside to make his own interpretation that he was onside.
I was livid last night (watching from Perth, WA) i'm actually worse this morning. That was a truly dreadful decision.
Subjective decision? No point watching then if the game can be decided by whoever is in charge that day.
Sure.We need to hire the PR equivalent of Richard Dunne,
The sad thing is the Premier league and the media need United to be at the top to gain money and that’s why the majority of things that go for them will be swept under the carpet :( it’s fooking poor it really is ................ I can put you any money on if that was City in the same situation that goal would have been ruled out ............ but we all know what’s coming before a balls kicked club will get away with murder and it’s weird that it’s always the same clubs

They’re not even hiding it anymore, and what’s more, they’re completely destroying the game with this shite.
The club need to grow a pair.
It’s not good enough and we shouldn’t accept it anymore. It’s been 14 years of totally imbalanced officiating and media reporting and David Silva for most of that time being man marked by 2 opposing players and a referee.
I’m sick of taking the higher moral ground. We need to hire the PR equivalent of Richard Dunne, someone who takes no shit, who’s honest works hard, clears the lines and nobody wants to come up against, an honest guy who knows the game and when needed and when you take a crack off him you realise just how much of a proper nasty bastard he can be. Someone who when he hits you with sky blue integrity you fucking know what honesty is.
That’s to deal with the press for a start, and once that tide has turned we stand a chance of being officiated with the same much maligned sub-standard referring as most other PL clubs instead of being handicapped by the rancid twisted cunts before the game has kicked off cos we wear the most beautiful shade of blue.
I swear they’ve done us over in so many different ways and often with immediate rule changes which fuck us again. It’s a farce.
….But despite the shite we digest and have to sit through regurgitation by sheep, on a daily basis, we are still way ahead of the rest.
CTID
I think not because the Football Clubs are registered to the association.Can a football club actually begin legal proceedings against the officials, and officiating body?
I know it won't happen, especially not by toothless City, but is it possible to do when they ignore their own rules?
What did that cheating cnut Rashford get his MBE for ? Contributions to the art's, fabulous acting with the first half broken leg scene, such drama, this warrants an OBE. Surely he could have been sat as Boris's right hand man, with his lack of morals and scruples.

Turning referee's into professionals really improved things, ffs !!!
