So now we have VAR I presume we just have to accept the shit decisions they churn out now do we ?
Jesus's none penalty yesterday
Rinaldo's tackle on KDB, no red card
Brighton's offside goal
Milner's none sending off
Laporte's sending off
So using your logic, without VAR we could quite easily conclude that all of the above would have have been called correctly then?
All recent incidents in games involving my team and all decisions that went against my team.
Again, you could quite easily say they cost us 2 points against the dippers and 3 points against Palace.
Those 5 points would have put us clear at the top of the league..
Football is suffering with the addition of the shitshow that is VAR.
VAR has not improved the game sufficiently to claim it's a success.
When it's taking 3 minutes to award / disallow a goal then the game has gone..
Our manager knows exactly what's going on.
Did you see his recent interview ?
Probably not because you can't watch everything can you ?
You conveniently miss all the shit calls we cop for time and again but live on this forum.
I would have thought you'd take the time to learn a bit about City to be honest, watch a game or two, get s feel for how we are refereed.
Understand how City fans feel, pick up the vibe, but no, you can't be arsed really can you.
Just another internet wind up merchant with nothing better to do..
Why are you hanging around on here ?
right, I'll give this my honest and best shot
no doubt it's a waste of time because you will give me a barage of abuse and call me a wum etc, also you will never accept VAR and believe the games corrupt. so in a way it's like trying to teach an anti vaxxer the benefits of a vaccine.
anyhow. lets go

very good question. I would say not - but you do have to accept people and officials see things different to your perspective - like many city fans on here would say a certain incident was a foul or wasn't - there are many grey areas in football and so so many factors when decisions are taking into account. I believe VAR is the best way to reduce the amount of 'wrong' decisions but can accept there's no way of getting everything 100% correct, i would still prefer the reduced option over loads wrong.
Jesus's none penalty yesterday
I've watched the incident, at first clear penalty - but on slow mo., Telles does get a touch to the ball, it is the faintest of all touches but he definitely gets the ball first and Jesus goes over. if there was no touch to the ball, I believe VAR would have gave it. if there was NO touch to the ball and no VAR the ref as shown would not have given it.
Ronaldo's tackle on KDB, no red card
I would like to have seen a Red for this, just because it's pure petulance from Ronaldo - obviously frustrated City running rings around Utd all day, I agree with Sinclair on this - it is a 'coward’s challenge' , I think he gets away with it as KDB already going down from previous challenge and slid in 1 foot. still, i'd like ref to gave that red.
Brighton's offside goal
i can't find the footage for this. Dermot Gallagher explains as follows. i don't know, cant find it to judge.
“People will say ‘why wasn’t the offside given in the build-up’, well I think it’s too far back. It's not a time issue, it's about whether the defence have a chance to reset."
“If you watch, the ball goes back, it goes sideways and it goes back again, so the decision is they have time to reset so they don’t go that far back to the offside.”
Milner's none sending off
No argument here, 100% a yellow card and should of been off, the ref saw it clearly and bottled it.
Laporte's sending off
Zaha would have been through on goal and he was last man, i can see why given.
So using your logic, without VAR we could quite easily conclude that all of the above would have have been called correctly then?
without VAR the list of bad decisions over a weekend wouldn't fit on this page, now bad decisions are majorly highlighted (and rightly so) because of VAR
Football is suffering with the addition of the shitshow that is VAR.
Is it though ? are attendances down ? are viewing figures down ? Football is absolutely huge and that's why billionaires are buying mid table clubs in the prem. VAR has not dented the enjoyment level for most, i totally understand many don't prefer it though.
When it's taking 3 minutes to award / disallow a goal then the game has gone..
This was the case last season, but this season ? the speed of decision has massively increased and will look at ways to increase over time. it's improving a lot.
Our manager knows exactly what's going on.
Then why can he not clearly explain and really call it that there is corruption ? why is he allowing Man City to play if he knows the officials are actively against the club - honestly, i would want him to do this if he knows something and has proof. All managers moan about refs decisions, var decisions etc. Klopp was saying VAR was against them against West Ham the other day.
I would have thought you'd take the time to learn a bit about City to be honest, watch a game or two
Love watching City, saw that game v united, was like watching a training match. will try and take note in future of refs decision etc , but i do think all clubs feel hard done by and that the refs against them
this is interesting to follow and updates
How VAR decisions have affected every Premier League club in 2021-22 (espn.co.uk)
totally accept I’m in the minority on this one on here.
