I wasn’t sure if you were being serious or sarcastic… if you were being serious they had tonnes of replays showing it was clearly outside the box - by about a yard.
has nothing to do with the stadium that is up to TV and PGMOL. should point out we don't know for sure there wasn't as it could be the pics just not released to TV for "reasons"
Explains the penalty for when silva threw himself before contact and the disallowed goal even though the player was not interfering. What probably stings city is that henderson wasn't called out on it or booked so he could timewaste all game. Why he didn't simply boot the ball the first time i don't know so he brought it on himself as well. If the ref had sent him.off there could be no complaints
Don't know if you'll be able to see this but with a try... https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AfdiQeedZ/
Yeah I mean the pen the guy slide in and wiped silva out for stone waller and then guy was 2 yards offside and the ball hit him full on the leg do divert it away from keeper. Not sure can argue against either decision.
I think between Mito thinking Henderson was in his area, the ball not touching palace player for disallowed offside goal and pen call - he either had huge money on palace or he was watching on an old school 10 inch tv
Hmm. I said at the time for the pen that he'd touched it, but I accepted (at first) that there wasn't enough to overturn the onfield decision. But when VAR came back and said he didn't touch it I thought 'What the **** are VAR there for if they can't see that?' And honestly, I thought that before Wrighty (who I like) was saying it on comms too. But deffo for the offside - it's the textbook definition of being in an offside position and becoming active when the ball ****ing hits you. I mean, didn't United have a goal (RIGHTLY) disallowed this season when Garnacho was on the line and couldn't get out of the way of a goal-bound shot that hit him on the way in? That was harsh, but right according to the rules. Yesterday was right and fair in that the ball is going through to the goalie if it doesn't hit the Palace player.
I thought he slid in took out the player and got lucky that the ball touched the end of his toe ever so slightly, rather than him sliding in and winning the ball - if that makes sense? however agree, made no sense then saying he didn’t touch the ball as clearly it hit his foot from the replays but I don’t think he ‘won’ the ball
Hmm. I had not seen this angle (that shows the touch on the ball even more vividly). I stand corrected re Silva being on his way down before the defender touches him.
There was another City talking head wittering on about the 'worst decision ever' yesterday (Micah Richards did the same last season over some penalty City never got). They have short memories, don't they? And apart from this, try having a goal disallowed because the overpaid VAR official was watching golf on another channel, and seeing the goalkeeper who crippled your centre-back stay on the field because the so-called 'best referee in the league' 'forgot' the rules of Serious Foul Play.
