    And look how much a referee can turn a game. 

    The quality of officials in this country are dreadful. 
    Lets not pretend they're any better elsewhere - the World Cup proved that

    Defenders obviously would have dealt with it differently if Rashford wasn’t there. So he’s interfering with play. Should have been offside imo.

    big call.

    Wasn't big, was a simple call that they got wrong. 

    Happens far too often.

    If the laws of the game say that Rashford isn't interfering with play for that goal then the law needs changing.
    This is the thing here. 
    If the laws as they stand say he’s not interfering then the goal has to be given, but that also means the law is an ass.
    You can’t say Rashford’s presence didn’t affect the behaviour of the defence.

    Doesn't the law involve making a movement towards the ball?

    Anyway, who wants to see City win the league again? Dull!

    He does? 

    He literally shaped up to shoot and then left it for Fernandes. There's no justification for that decision other than pure intimidation by the United players.

    Ah, but did he attempt to play the ball?

    That was a tough call.
    The officials would have been slagged off whether giving or disallowing the 'goal' but the question is:

    If Rashford hadn't shielded/ carried on his run,  could one of the defenders have made a challenge even if it meant taking a booking. I would say yes.

    Who would be a referee or VAR.

  • You can be offside for interfering with an opponent too, they were clearly trying to defend against him too before he left it for Fernandes, I don't see how he wasn't offside.
  • Fuck off back to mid table / champ obscurity City. Just another Sunderland / Sheff Weds.

    Bored of them winning everything all the time.

    He blocks the Man City defender from intercepting the ball. They change their behaviour based from his movement. 

    He moves towards the ball purely to attempt to play the ball.

    Another game arbitrarily decided by a referee. 


  • Massive statement by United, beating Charlton and City in consecutive games.

    Offside rule needs  to change back to where it has been years gone by. If a player if offside they are offside. Maybe ok if they are coming back & having no intention to be part of the play but to run after the ball or be in a position that the defender is aware you are there then its offside.

    Marcus Rashford had an injury that he recovered from in 15 minutes.
    Chuks Aneke get the same knock and is out for 12 weeks 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Good summing up your Lordship.

    Oi.  Go sit on the naughty step fella.

    You know when you get that sinking feeling no one is catching them? FML.

    I don't see much credit given towards the official that originally gave it as offside only for the tech to overrule what was the correct decision.

    I don't remember them going to var? The ref was harrassed by the United players and bottled it.

    Relegation in the Premier League. Huge wins for Wolves, Forest and Southampton but equally awful results for West Ham, Everton and Leicester.
