Course he can't.

You reckon Grealish gets that pen?

How on earth am I supposed to answer that?

Here is a question I wonder what the totally biased thoughts of Jack when he was at villa?

I'm a huge fan of the lad but he has gone from someone who goes down too easily at Villa to the consistently kicked to death city player. The truth is he is very good at drawing fouls which is not cheating at all. He is a top player but he would 100% do what rashford did.

BTW biased football fans don't know they are biased it's merely a comment. But they do make threads longer and more of a pain in the arse to get thru.

Some do. And will still argue and get wound up even though they know the decision is right.

There are certain decisions in football that will cause controversy in the game for ever and a day.

Amount of contact
Handball
Offside

I was late watching motd but had read of the huge injustice and the refs obvious corruption. Then I saw it and well its just the usual really.

Refs are corrupt against us or for(insert team of choice)
Commentators slate us all game but love(insert team of choice)
Every team tries really hard against us but rolls over for(insert team of choice)
The worst fans ever are(insert team of choice)
The most deluded fans(insert team of choice)

The problem with having threads full of biased fuckwittery is when people have genuine concerns no one listens.

All football fans are pretty much the same really. They range from as balanced as can be expected supporting a club to full on biased cult like loons.



* obviously the rags and candlepool are the worse though

Well the fact we never get a penalty against the Rags is answer. It’s not a coincidence it’s a fact.

There are some really tenuous links which are used to show it’s all in our heads which completely ignores just how many favours they get.

No chance

Yes but not with the ref we had last week who obviously hates him.

A couple of things.

Of course all fans are biased towards their team, what is the point of being a fan if you aren't? That doesn't make biased fans right, it's just human nature. As is coming on here ranting about it. I give more leeway to biased and ranting fans than I do to other fans complaining about their bias and ranting, in all honesty. As for bias on here leading to less weight given to genuine grievances as a result: no-one cares. Nothing that is said on here affects anything.

For the penalty award itself, all fans ask for is consistency. Either we should be given penalties for performances like that, or United shouldn't be. You can't have one without the other. So either the referee and VAR are badly trained at identifying certain actions, or they are badly trained at not being affected by the environment and VAR are instructed not to intervene. Or, of course, the other alternative. In any case, something is not right.

Sir Marcus clips the ball in to Ratface, who is well onside.

Ratface then passes the ball to the overinflated Flat Stanley, who is behind the ball.

Neither were close to being offside.

Sadly I agree but, it doesn't look right even if the current laws of the game say it was legal.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Never happens mate unless it's ridiculously obvious. And even then refs get easily fooled(Pires being the most obvious one)

Nowadays every team have players that will position themselves and go down easily. Contact is going out of the game.

Referees shouldn’t get fooled though especially with VAR to assist but non of these officials use any common sense to make their decisions and because non of them have played the game they have not got a clue
