Feel free to scour evrry game played this season and disprove them if you want.
Alternatively, you can just say the source is shit and keep your head in the sand.

Yes, that is the only possible reason for that.

Doesn’t make it wrong though. It just shows fans don’t spot everything that is happening in a lot of games.
You asked for 1 example and it turns out there are loads.
Who knew?

:) Did I not ask for an example where a team scored directly from a free kick after a player had moved the ball 18 inches to the side and then moved the foam? Can't remember.
Anyway, doesn't matter. Football seems to have decided it's OK.

I’m just glad I hadn’t gone mad when I said I’d seen it repeatedly!
I think it’s got more attention because Toney scored from it, as you intimated.
It’s just another bit of gamesmanship along with grappling at corners and nudging players under the ball (Walker is a master of this).
Even though we are “worst” at this, no one is arsed as it happens all the time.

Our winner last night was a prime example of what VAR has stolen from us.
Like many Blues have said this morning, I didn’t properly celebrate because I knew it would be scrutinised.
Big game, 88th minute, in front of 9,000 City fans, first ever goal at that stadium… yet we all knew in the back of our minds it would have to be checked.

Oh FFS. The next inevitable development in the abomination that is VAR.

I wouldn't be surprised if there will be quite a lot of push back against this from other associations.
I'd be amazed if it happened here. Liverpool were roundly mocked, and I suspect, away from the heat of the moment, even their management would vote against the possibility of replays.
