Controlled the game. 1 shot on target. Laughable really.

A lot of assured, confident performances but still so stale. It’s not the City we know.

That first goal can get to fuck as well. He’s shielding the ball and blocking the path for Akanji to get to it. How isn’t that interfering?! The linesman flagged for Rashford then has told the ref that - does it not get checked further than that? VAR seemingly didn’t bother. Any opportunity to gift something away from us is swept up with glee.

The most annoying thing is that the media will just gloss over the offside goal , nothing will be said its just history now, until the next time scum need a goal and that trick is played again .

From the FA rule book on offside.

• • making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

Akanji slowed down because Rashford had ran in front of him. The only way he could have got to Fernandes is if he ran through Rashford would would have been a foul.

How Marcus Rashford isn't deemed to be heavily involved with that equaliser I don't know. Embarrassing decision from the officials.

However, we shown again how vulnerable we can be once we've conceded. I feel like I did after Real Madrid last season. Cunts

We've got referees who don't know the basic rules of football.
Embarrassing.

They know the rules alright

It’s just they pick and choose when they want to stick to them

You win some you lose some, ah well. Gutted though.

I honestly couldn't even beleive they were checking it in the first place never mind over turning it... shocker that

 

[Kippax77]

Perhaps the most obviously offside goal ever given in the era of VAR.

But but but Peter Walton said it was the perfect goal

Gutless

We’re done

Meaning what exactly?
