VAR - 2020/21

[crazyg]

Always 'amazed' me how they didn't show the ref the angle at 0.49 continuously which shows it clearly hit his arm first, instead they chose the angle which was inconclusive, some would say 'strange', others would say deliberate and bent as fook.

Peter Walton: "it hit his knee"!
It's not Specsavers he needs, it's a fucking guide dog. (I've seen that clip for the first time in all it's glory)

West Ham winning the league, in fact winning anything has no commercial interest to anyone, that's why your trophy room is probably used to store the mop bucket and brush..

Newcastle got closed down before they could get a foothold with a huge investment..

Ask yourself why.?

City were tarred by all and sundry as cheats, even though we've cleared our name with the corrupt ****'s at UEFA, mud sticks..

City fans on here have commented on the shit they get thrown at them when out and about, minding their own business but happen to be wearing City colours..

Ask yourself why.?

If it's so corrupt against Man City... why are you 2nd most successful club in the last decade ? winning 10 trophy's the most successful is Chelsea winning 11! ffs

West Ham and Newcastle don't win sh*t because... well they've been sh*t.

Clubs with the most to spend on players will tend to win more, with or without VAR or all your other conspiracy nonsense.

It did hit his arm, but he didn't play the ball with it (move his arm to the ball) - it hit him. I don''t think there was any law automatically ruling it out at that time.

It was only after that that the laws were changed to automatically rule out a 'goal' scored off an arm.

It isn't nonsense to us. You probably don't see City play as often we do. WE know how unfavourably we are being refereed, week in week out, WE know how VAR is being used so selectively that it is ALWAYS the dippers and the rags who get the decisions they need, WE know time and time again how people like Michael Oliver will consistently make an on the spot decision that doesn't favour us.

You come on here and say it's all nonsense? Watch us as much as we watch us and then call it nonsense.

Ok, clean slate from now and as someone who wants City to do well ... i will check each game from now and see if you are being treated unfairly from the officials/VAR... all i can say, is there doing a bad job of it, seen as you are so successful. but game by game, i'll follow you with a open mind

Not sure of the exact law back then MMA, my issue was more the fact it wasn’t actually the angle that was shown to the ref, VAR was supposed to be there to aid officials in making decisions with the best evidence available so they can make a more informed decision, they chose to show him the angle which didn’t , on the evidence they were showing him he was never going to disallow it, in fact I still remember screaming at the TV “why aren’t they showing him the other angle” ?

Fair enough. I remember the comments at the time about the unshown angle.
The only acceptable interpretation is that they didn't think it showed anything more, but if anyone wanted something to look suspect, not showing one was the way to do it.

That's a big weight off my mind, you checking each City game for fairness regarding VAR..

Can't wait for your minute by minute breakdown of events..

Can you answer me why my team usually has 70% of the play each game but end up conceding the most fouls and bookings.?

See you have not commentated on the the 20 VAR incidents I raised on page 19 yet again..

You'ved banged on about VAR for 2 seasons and only now you're going to watch City's games a bit closer..

You haven't a clue about my team or the shit we have to wade through on a daily basis..

Just now on the way home, nice but dim Gough slagging Pep off, 'he has to win the league / champions league otherwise he'll walk' ..

No mention of Noddy over in Trafford whose club have spent a billion since they last won the league / champions league..

You are just another southern, know nothing plastic fan, spouting shit about stuff you don't understand..

I'm pretty sure the law at the time was that a goal couldn't be scored directly from the arm, that led to the discussion about whether or not the ball hit his arm or thigh first. If it was thigh first then it's no goal but if it was arm then thigh then the goal stands.
The fact is though that for reasons unknown the referee wasn't shown the clearest angle to make his decision at the time.

Out of interest did you watch the entire Liverpool V City at Anfield and City V Spurs at the Etihad matches last year or just the highlights?
