I think you’re mostly right.
But I do believe they know the rules of the game, they’re just annoyed they were applied fairly to City for once.

ExactlyWe often have a good case, they had NO case whatsoever. The laws of the game says Rodri was onside. The handball was as clear as day, idiotic by the Villa player.

Didn't appreciate all the fuss made on BT and BBC over our first goal, which got far more attention than how good we were.
The decision to allow our goal wasn't even controversial as it was very clearly correct and in no way in doubt.
I do think the offside rule generally is not fit for purpose but that is because too many goals are being disallowed that really don't deserve to be, because, although the player is technically offside if you get out a micrometer, they haven't gained an advantage from their position.
The offside rule was brought in to stop goal hanging and that first principle is, IMO, the important bit.
Rodri wasn't goal hanging, he was coming back from pressing the goalie. He made no attempt to play the ball until Mings had touched it. It wasn't one of those cases where the ball was played on to someone in an offside position who then goes and scores, which I'm sure has happened to us in the last few years without any effing media furore about the rules.
I'm betting Rodri knew the rules and played to them and Bernie certainly did.

Every goal and penalty is reviewed by the rags' and dippers' most influential player of the past two seasons: VAR. I don't think they'd allow it if there was the slightest chance to do otherwise.
I've never known so many mistakes by a commentary team.
1) savage getting his facts wrong at half time.
2)commentator kept saying gundogan has scored, when it was silva.
3)mc pointy, kept saying the header was going wide anyway, as if that had anything to do with it!.
4)commentator saying great clearance from Stones,when it was DIAS.
I bet there is more as well.

Just like Balotelli with “Little Scotty Parker”, our goal will be discussed ad infinitum on Sky/BT until they get the law changed.
As for that complete thick twat Walton, words escape me.
so funny hahahah in game time BTsports we are going over to ref walton ? verdict offside. goal should not have stood ?? on the spot reaction from a official that worked for years in england top league
after the final whistle back to the studio and lets go back to ref walton. the referee was right to give the goal because of the rule that states clearly mings played the ball ??
fuck me walton you have all the tools in bt-sports mock up VAR studio and could not see mings play the ball in the game hahahaahah fuck me he (mings) trapped it on his chest and then fucked up the control ?
bitter walton hates manchester city and was made to eat his words after the game. the pain on his face was a joy to behold ? all them everton away games he took charge vs city and give everton every fucking thing was worth the wait to see him finaly get rumbled

a great game to watch, hectic and at one point, calamitous. There were ricochets and missed sitters, ball through the legs 1 yard out and more. It was great fun to watch, mainly as we won.
re offside - yep, it was onside. interesting arguments on both sides (if you read intelligent people, not Wio etc). I would say the only semi convincing thing i've heard is that Rodri is gaining an advantage as Mings' cannot play the ball how he likes even though Rodri was offside from a City header. But this is semantics for me and cant be covered by a law? the law is sound for me, and there are always instances in footy where some weird quirk gets found out, they're quite rare. (and Mings should header that clear the absolute plum)
