Mcnulty on bbcsport even said it was a controversial equaliser with the linesman with his flag up for offside. Still fuming that this changed the game and resulted in them twats getting the winner. If you asked a rag though it would be classed has a masterstroke by Rashford to not touch the ball.

Walton making a right idiot of himself on BT.

I don't get why anyone listen to this buffon. Clueless idiot

 

[I'm Blue]

Pep says he doesn't care about the league now.
Wow.
Does he think we ain't good enough to win it or does he think we are just too inconsistent to fight to retain it?
Surely it's just abit of kidology..... surely

Subliminal message to the players maybe?
He's right though on this season's form.

It didn’t result in them getting the winner ffs

Akanji said in interview “I played

But if Akanji is playing him offside he has already interfered with play.

The rules ridiculous mate but this kind of shit is happening quite often. The Salah goal last week, the defender has only headed it because he’s there. That should have been interfering with play too once it’s gone to Salah

Stuart atwel couldn't run a fuckin bath, never mind the biggest premier League game of the week, how keeps getting games is a mystery, also it's not hard to tell Howard Webb is now in charge of var, I wondered what that bulge was in taggarts inside pocket

 

[paulchapo]

It's proper shit stuff, good 20 minutes at the start of the 2nd half just isn't enough. Pep under big pressure to turn this around and I'm not sure the players are up to the fight. Can see this being Pep's last season

He always said when he's not getting the reaction from the players he'll leave so it's looking ominous unless there's a big upturn in form. Sadly I just can't see where the spark is coming from.

 

[OB1]

yep

the run alone towards the ball is interfering

I think so; especially if you consider that at that point Fernandes would not be expected to get to the ball if City's defenders did not know the player the ball was actually passed to was offside - the closest things in the Laws of the Game is offside Example 4.

If it is true that VAR did not intervene, the decision making is even worse than it first seemed.

The whole thing is so diabolical in my view that I believe the game should be voided and replayed - of course there's no chance of that but it ranks as one of the most scandalous pieces of refereeing I have ever seen in well over 50 years of watching football. I am incredulous that anyone could think or interpret the Laws of the Game to rule that as not offside.

Correct some fans can not see what is staring them in the face, we have been well below our best all season.

I'm going to sign off after this there's not much else to say.

Ref is bent but aside that we underperformed again and absolutely went to pieces after.

There's too many out of form and our play is too disjointed, it's impossible not to infer there's an issue behind the scenes.

Pep has always said he'll only leave when his players stop responding to him and it's starting to feel like we are seeing shades of that

Not disjointed mate,predictable. Teams have worked out how to play,us.the system is stale and we don't have the personnell to carry out the plan,

 

[cookster]

Lescott can fuck off

Lescott can't hold his own against the ex. Rags. He's so fucking passive.

Entire BT panel said it was offside. Most ex. pros

 

[madloaf]

Probably shouldn't but that made me laugh. It would have gone back to Ederson, who would probably have booted it out of play.

Your comment made me laugh and then cry a little so thanks for that

 

[Bluearmy]

BT Score show all saying should be offside. Even rag Robbie Savage. All the ex pros Savage/benali/Akinfenwa/sutton all mocking Walton.

Walton just said Rashford was 3 or 4 yards away from the ball…. YCMIU

Stop crying ,wtff...admit ,we are shit,be a fucking man .grab a beer

 

[Ajm1985]

He makes no attempt to play the ball (we are quoting the same thing BTW).

Why cant the defenders make a tackle...he doesnt block them

Ederson is not impeded....Rashford does not stop Ederson moving towards the ball (which is what it says)

Yes I agree as Ive said numours times....Rashford affected the decision making of Akanji and Walker.....but he did nothing to physically stop them playing the ball and thats what the law implies.....

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.

We have the personnel. The plan is shit.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I feel sick after that decision.

 

[lazerblue]

Why the feck did we not attempt to kick the frigging ball away.

Because the players knew it was offside and now way would it be allowed

the whole team and pep should have just walked off
