Just seen the rags first goal

FUCKING HELL is worst than I thought Rashford follows the ball for yards clearly inferring with play. It has to be off side. Most players would have stood still knowing they are off side.

Clearly BENT.

Perhaps we have seen the best of football now and its turning into WWF. I will seriously have to think if I come up for a match now. It's a lot of money and we dont see a fair game.

LFC v wolves last week now this.

Love City hate football

He's openly said he wants to leave ! Barca won't stump up what we want for him though.

He wanted to leave in the summer but everyone on here wanted him to stay

What’s your point ?

He’s one of our best players who usually is one of our best performers in big games so I don’t want us to sell him

1 shot on target again today tells you all you need to know, no point controling possession if you don't do anything with it. Its a recurring theme that needs changed quickly.

Did you see the Salah one last week? The defender literally tried to clear it to stop the ball reaching Salah and, in doing so, played him onside. The rule is a complete joke in the way it's written and interpreted, but you can't blame the ref for that

Oh, I'm in total agreement the rule is a joke and needs changing, especially with the way it judges defenders touching the ball. But the law says:

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

He was in the way of Akanji tracking back, he made Walker change the trajectory of his run to cut him off, he made Ederson come out of his goal square. What more does he have to do to be interpreted as interfering in play? Does he have to knock a few defenders out and spit in Ederson's face before he starts 'impacting the ability of an opponent to play the ball'?

We should of had a penalty and at the other end that bent fcuker on var Oliver be telling the referee that’s a penalty! Oliver is one sneaker cheating fcuker can’t stand him! He loves giving soft pens to the rags but we can be decapitated in the opposing box and say play on!

Hes ran on to the ball and hovered over it. He is directly influencing the behaviour of the defenders and the keeper. He is offside.

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or

interfering with an opponent by:
preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
challenging an opponent for the ball or
clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

That's the actual law. He did none of those.

Do you live in the last 5 minutes?

I haven't got a clue what that means.

Blatant penalty

Same with that twat Graham Le saux so pro rag from the off.

 

[Sibierskii]

Not quite sure what i've just watched, we know its bent but not that fuckin bent

As for the performance - i thought we were in total control of the game the second half, much better

Bruno MOM? incredible

 

[Saxmundham Blue]

true to form, unless I missed it, there was no mention of Casemiro foul on Haaland in the penalty area

Casemiro nowhere near the ball impeded Haaland in the act of shooting. Anywhere else on the pitch that is a foul.

Surely that could have been seen on VAR

Blatant cheating, they aren't even trying to hide it
