VAR impact and consequence log - game 27

[City Rich]

I have no qualms at all with penalty decision being over-ruled on the Bernardo challenge (it was a stone-waller) - the frustration comes from all of the numerous decisions that we haven't been given the same deal of consideration.

Not an even playing field.........

Exactly just seen the Zaha one on KDB again and it’s more blatant than yesterday’s, yet with the same referee it wasn’t given and that’s why VAR stinks.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

i give up ??? and never will understand why all football clubs wanted VAR ? yes even pep was the first one to come and say yes to VAR but how wrong can he be.

How many time were City done by clear and obvious errors last season without VAR?

Answer: Too many.

We were sold VAR on the premise that it would clear up such errors, but in reality it has made it worse because those errors can now be compounded and instantly brushed under the carpet because match officials can claim they've 'independently' reviewed them.

Last year we could rightly bemoan such errors by match officials. This season is a different matter. The fact that the press no longer have the balls to call out blatant errors just leads me to believe that they are in some way complicit in the obvious corruption. Sky even employ an ex ref to justify their cheating FFS.

Disparity of officiating is the prime tool of the bent referee, along with getting in the way and not applying the LOTG equally for both sides.

Look. It's simple.

If it brushes LaPorte's hand (or any other City player for that matter) on the way through without changing the flight path of the ball, it's not accidental. All other instances are accidental.

Exactly mate and with his arm being pushed onto the ball as well by a Spurs defender. No Tottenham player saw it or the 55,000 spectators, or even the referee. But VAR spotted it. Wolves do it and it's fine though.....

We knew that from the second weekend of the season when were wrongly denied a winning goal due to VAR incorrectly ruling out a goal because of handball.

The VAR ref is joined by two others, so there were four refs involved in that decision. The on field ref and three more. And NONE of them knew the wording of that particular law?

Bullshit.

 

[PepInYourStep]

It's bent as a nine bob note. The perfect tool to fulfill the PL and Sky's narrative gotta promote that brand. It will continue to be employed against us this season and won't be pretty

but we still become champions and cup winners, unlike this season VAR has taken any chance we had of putting up a fight and its killed the city players desire to fight

simple fact is when you see the things that have gone on this season within the game being played and reviewed with VAR and then they make up some stupid quote of being unnatural arm movement to defend the fact they cheated manchester city out of a stone wall penalty ?? also never review mo salah goal what looked to be offside on replays shown on tv, also the spurs game was the biggest and worst cheating known to man by VAR clearly the slightest touch of laporte finger tips was enough to deem it handball even with the ball not going straight in the goal but it went to jesus who skill made the goal and did not gain any advantage with the slightest touch, but what about rodri being man handle to the ground by a spurs player again VAR did nothing ???

the heart of this city team has been smashed to bits by VAR, and any future hope of VAR giving manchester city a fair crack was gone long before the derby game ? and they still did not apply the new rules of handball and give city a penalty, and the last nail in the city coffin was hit and all is needed know was to dig the whole VAR has made

Been watching this again and again the FA's reasoning on this is bullshit "IFAB’s Laws of the Game state that it is not usually an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground to support the body, but not extended laterally or vertically away from the body."

I have painfully watch this over and over again he blocks KDB's cross from reaching a City player and probable tap in.



It's incredible how that is not given

If it's at the other end it's given is all you need to know.
