City fans were utter shite as well, barely heard them

You’d have been there with them to help out had Jesse not invited you round to watch the game in his gaffe.

Arsenal will destroy us this season. Utd are shit & struggled to do anything

I see a lot of 'eggs in the CL basket' talk. Leipzig is wayy better than the teams we're currently dropping points to.

I think the referee asked the linesman if Rashford touched the ball. When he said no, he gave the goal.

The thing is that the Ref was in a better position than the linesman to see if he had touched the ball, at least if he had gone to the monitor he could get a clear view of what happened.

The game won't improve until the officials have to answer themselves for the decisions they make.

I was even expecting Walton to call it as off side, couldn’t believe what I hearing .

You seriously though that Walton was going to go against reffing decisions and it being Manchester City lol

Not sure how that makes me a big man seeing as I don't know who you are but okay

The defenders and keeper change their movement due to his actions - you are being deliberately misleading if you think that only physically stopping a player from touching the ball is all that matters. His movements were an obvious action (running with it, a feint and looked about to shoot) which impacted on Ederson and the defenders - Akanji is tracking Rashford rather than the path of the ball and Ederson stopped & set for a Rashford shot. Both would have been in a better position to either play the ball or make an attempt to play the ball if Rashford had stopped running or wasn't involved at all.

If Emerson came out of his box, cleared the ball out of play but wiped out Rashford what would the decision have been? Asking for my mate Stuart as he has no fucking clue

Walton making a right idiot of himself on BT.

Yer just need a camera shot. He doesn't need to open his mouth. Has he got IDIOT tattooed on each buttock?

He’s even got his arms out to make his body bigger and more difficult to get around. It’s a disgrace. He’s shielding the ball, there is no question about it.

What were the lads supposed to do, poleaxe him?

This.

Our board are spinless and cowards. After all the FFP fiasco you would think the Club would learn something from that organized attack, no they're taking the passive approach again, always on the defensive.

Soriano ...It's not on Pep to point the obvious.

IM STILL FUMING!

All Soriano does is increase ticket prices and sign the next Far Eastern Crypto partner.

Rashford clearly knew he was offside which was why he knew not to touch the ball. He could have stopped running and put his hand up like you see many players do when caught offside.
He must then have known that any subsequent movement he made would be a distraction to the defender/ goalkeeper.
He made a decision to interfere with play.
