[remember arthur mann]

Still fucked off about it. Thought I’d be more philosophical about it by now. But nope. The worst bit is all the inbred fucking rags who are now specialists in the intricacies of the rules wanking themselves silly over their ill gotten gains.

It’s going to be fucking awful at work tomorrow.

All the shite have come out if the woodwork, lice coming out of dried wood after years of hiding. The snidey cnuts. All of a sudden, the in thing is jogging with a rag shirt on.

I still cannot begin to believe that even at Old Trafford, even a man not fit to referee a lunch time game in a school playground could possibly allow such a "goal". City were a long way from their best but I should remind our supporters who try to identify "the real reasons" we lost that goals do really change games and that the winner followed shortly after while City were still in some disarray provoked by an official who allowed the crowd to make his decisions for him. I would also say that this is the official who allowed 8000 Brighton fans to send Cancelo off for being fouled by Danny Welbeck back in 2021 and then allowed them not to award City a blatant penalty in the dying minutes at 3-2 down. It's also relevant to point out that if City were not at their best when Attwell intervened they were still considerably better than their opponents, who did not look like scoring without "some help". Dodgy goals, incompetent (or worse) refs and "sympathetic" officials - the rags certainly are back.

PS I have written this after having 24 hours to cool down.

I hope that £175M Clause is still on for Haaland in 2 years, much better team without him.

Why ? Can you please explain why we are better without him

 

[Tolmie scores]

I agree the goal changed the game but why don't we take games away from the opposition anymore. At 1-0 the crowd was dead but just like Everton we don't capitalise and are happy to try and see it out.

Between 1-0 and 1-1 about 20 minutes went by. Why didn't we do anything at all to try and kill the game in that time. I don't even think we had a shot

This Haaland experiment is clearly wronh. He is amazing BUT..scored 3 early doors v utd when they didn't understand him. Tried just playing tight and marking normalky. He is a veast, unique so took advantage of the niaveity. Now. Teams realise we can't just matl him, we either double up and risk giving away votal space OR cut the service. PEP MUST have thought cancello, Foden, Mahrez, Bernie would be able to pick him out. Appears only KDB can and Laporte when we are pressed. Nulifies what we had, najes us piss easy to play against, awful to watch AND thiugh not Haaland's fault but piss the team off as they look much poorer with him in the team. Topped off by his Alfie alluding to city just being a stepping stone for Real Madrid. Lets cut our losses before we drift into decline. Hope im wrong but i thought all along this would be the case.

Please see my rant

So technically we could play with 9 men offside and sheild the ball and block the defenders run as long as the player who touches it runs from an onside position....

For what it’s worth, several ex officials say they think it was offside.

 

[OB1]

He is running in line with akanji towards the ball, obstructing his view and actually meaning he would need to go round. Look at the space between the ball and bruno, if rashford is not there the ball is dealt with by either keeper or defender comfortably. There is no way to sugarcoat this one, if the VAR has the bollocks to correct the ref then it's given offside.

Calls for the ref to go have another look at it are, imo, off as well. Just tell the daft **** he got it wrong, call offside and carry on from a free kick - easy.

What Rashford does is as distracting as standing in an offside position in the keeper's line of sight, which is very clearly spelt out as an offence in the Laws of the Game.

If the ref has the brains to understand that and looks at appropriate replays on the VAR system, he disallows the goal.

Still furious it was allowed. Rank incompetence.

Whatever fault anyone wants to find with City, if that goal had not be given, it is unlikely City would have lost. The manner of the goal affected the players - easy to say it shouldn't but shutting out the anger and disbelief and leveling their emotions instantly would be difficult for most players.

Isn't it amazing? This Manchester is red shite also...is it fuck you cheating fucking inbreds.

 

[OB1]

the average age of the two starting line ups

utd 27.7
ours 27.5

our bench had a 18 yr old, 20 yr old, 21 yr old and a 22 yr old

Oh look, that is probably the perfect average age.

A good example of the uniformed opinions that litter this thread and forum.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Having slept on this I cannot believe we had 1 shot on target

1 shot!!!!

Also how can Atwell be classed as a referee he is the worst of a bad bunch

hope we never have him ever again
