Yes of course they would. <wah> ****ing bubble blowing babies. You got beat and it wasn't a pen. Off you pop.

It was whatever VAR decided, backed up with a purposefully ambiguous rule which means they can rule it either way. Let's be honest here, unless you rip your arm out of it's socket and throw it at the ball, your arm can be argues to be in a 'natural position'.

I agree that the rule and many other rules at the moment are a mess. As a football fan I would never want that given as handball as it was clearly accidental and did not prevent you from getting anything.
 
Back to last night's game ... decision I was quite surprised with was the Partey one in the first half ... I actually thought it was a pen but VAR ruled the Citeh player had committed a foul ... Partey didn't play the ball - he (deliberately) went over it and then the Citeh player kicked him in the act of shooting ... for me, Partey committed the first offence ... going over the ball like that had to be dangerous play ... plus there was no attempt to play the ball, which there has to be in a 'legal' tackle ... thoughts?

Partey has committed plenty of offences without being punished.

Barnes will definitely go. There will be a lot of interest in him.

Definitely the most sellable - still got 3 years (I think) on his contract - and wouldn't be sold on the cheap ... we also have a couple of very promising youngsters that could come in to the first team picture in his position...

They might go on to match United's treble at this rate.
If they get past Real in the semis of the CL they have to be favourites, i'd fancy City over either of the Milan teams.
United might be the only hope of stopping a City treble in the FA Cup final....might make for a juicy final!!

It will be interesting to see how his lot get on against Real Madrid, especially considering Giorna beat them a few days ago 4-2.
