Honestly it's bad enough we have the media to ignore, but we have to put up with them gloating in a harsh defeat for us here.There is time yet for similar to happen to the dippers.
Karma is a ****.
No it doesn't there would be movement on his hand if there was, it does look like it from certain angles but it comes off Llorente. That would be irrelevant anyway, the handball after the handball.Last touch comes of Laporte hand

slightly edited. :-)The consensus amongst football people outside of City is that the decisions were correct. I have been influenced both ways reading the opinion but can't summon up any feelings of outrage. If I read the rules and look at the video evidence I can see that the decisions are consistent with the rules. There is a grey area over UEFA guidance and pending changes that muddy the waters, but I am going with how the game has been interpreted in the past and I believe that Aguero was cm offside and that the handball was not deliberate. You can say that that means it's not a goal but the rules do not say that and until they change, they apply. That is what a nutty observer would say.
God help us all next year internet will be in melt down Saturday nightsThis thread will be great fun next season.
Currently it is a joke. I am thinking from your user name you are saying VAR isn’t a joke because you sit at home watching it on TV. Try going to every game and try standing there when the big screen says “VAR Review” and looking around wondering what the fxxk is happening. Thinking “I am so glad I paid for my return flight to the game, hotel and match ticket. I could have stayed at home paid buttons to watch it on Tv” like a load of neutrals and vaguely interested TV viewers and actually be watching the VAR replays. But instead i am 400 quid down and no Fxxkin idea what is going on. VAR is utter sh1teVAR is not at all a joke. Sometimes VAR takes too long - and maybe on occasion you disagree with the VAR ruling.
AI is on the cusp - IMO - of replacing all refereeing in top-league officiating. AI is simply an algorithm - ostensibly without bias - but is found to be with bias - correctable.
Far from a joke - VAR is the gate to fair play, provably neutral, officiated by AI.
The nonsense from Lineker and Hoddle on BT last night was pathetic.
I'm no fan of The Camel Gob but even he was trying to say he thought it was handball, Lineker wouldn't let him get a word in and went straight to that loony Hoddle who was just rambling shit in the corner.
I've just emailed BT Sport to complain about Linekers bias in the post match analysis last night.
He's an unprofessional twat, even Rat Boy makes a better effort to be even handed during his punditry.
We didn’t lose fair and squareI think it's really bad and sad that people can not just accept that we got beat.
The world is divided. Conspiracies exist. People are oppressed and exploited but football is our escape. I do not accept that the game is that warped to the point that Manchester City are being cheated at every available opportunity.
The conspiracy angle is untenable and very poor sporting behaviour below the standards I would expect from City fans. Spurs beat us fair and square. Accept it and move on.
I'm perhaps misrepresenting your opinion here SilverFox. i normally agree with most things you say, I am just reacting to a theme I am seeing from City fans of being cheated. We weren't cheated. Decisions may have been made incorrectly but I believe for the most part the game is clean and honest.
This,the whole statement about all relevant images available to ref is absolute bollocks,as we know and they know and the rest of the world knows that other images/video was available but they didn’t want to use them,why is that is the question..Next season can’t come quick enough for me just for the fact of seeing teams still being fucked over but this time with the fantastic var involved,money,corruption,more money,the only major league in Europe that hasn’t been involved in any sort of corruption yeah dead on ...Pretty easy to set up rules for var and be total transparent but the fa and uefa dont want that they want it to be all cloak and dagger.
