606 are calling it a dive

I was 90% sure fix is in. After watching that on MOTD tonight,
I’m now at 100%.

How was the Rags 2nd goal not offside?

Thought that too.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Thought that too.

Which bit? See my post above. There were no tight calls to make on it.

Now I know what they mean by clear and obvious.

You may be right pal, I only saw it once but it looked like the scorer in the centre was in an offside position when the ball was played forward to the wide player. Yes the ball wasn’t played directly to him, but if it’s still the
same phase of play I thought he would be called offside once he’d scored.
Been a long day, I may be wrong and or misunderstanding the rule, but that’s the bit I was getting at.

How was that not offside? Err coz it wasn't

Rashford there was no contact! Err there was

Pmsl at some of the see what you want to see loons on here.

Anyhow for the sane the penalty was soft but are given regularly because refs find it impossible to determine what is sufficient contact. The rags have more points than what there performances deserve, they are very average so far this season.

The active ruling changed ages ago. We should concentrate on the red card and penalty from this game.

Agreed, but Rashford seemed to create the contact, which should be a yellow card for simulation.

The rags relentless media PR machine marches on unashamedly bias. It doesn’t matter if they are good or not in 2023, stick on the treble match again on sky classic. They have somehow weaponised it to do their bidding. Overspend and bad results forgotten about. Alleged Rapists now the victim.

The actual football team is not very good. It’s ok but not great. That doesn’t matter tho, control and perception and greed. Feed the lemmings crap after crap, day after day. So in that regard it’s a double edged sword.

The only team who challenge this media domination is Liverpool. Once Klopp called out their cheating few season ago they stopped getting pens. So it might actually be good for us if Liverpool get their act together again, well up to a point.

Anyway, fuck them. Ground hog day rags and ten bob is billy Murray -:)
