Yes, I've not said otherwise, just pointing out its ****ing ridiculous. How there can be a different rule depending on who's arm it hits or which end it's at? Mental.
It complete favours the defending team which is the opposite of what rule changes should do imo.
Man £ity having a stoppage time winner disallowed due to VAR... ****ing amazing! Couldn't happen to a nicer club
Why should you be able to score or set a goal up with your arm?
Let's go with that, why should you be able to block a goal bound shot with your arm?
Nope, not if it's accidental or within the natural silhouette. Whereas for the attacking team the above is no longer a factor.
It's literally different rules for players stood right next to each other.
Whether or not you agree with the decision, I think we can all agree that man £ity being denied a win due to VAR is glorious. **** them
Whilst it doesn't really matter to me whether Man City win lose or draw, the fact that you've got some joy out of it brought a smile to my face.
Thought var was brought in so teams weren't done over by poor decisions?
They were robbed, so much for a fairer game.

It wasn't a poor decision it was the correct one according to the rules. Whether the rules are wrong is another matter entirely. We have been seeing this in European games for a while now, the PSG- Man U disallowed goal was the same. Overall though I think VAR will be good for teams like ours because refs won't be able to favour the big money clubs as they have for years.
I was referring to the penalty not given in the first half
And yeah, this new handball rule is utterly ridiculous as it stands.

Didn't see the penalty shout, but no decision which goes against man £ity can ever be a poor decision.
The thing is PL, whilst I doubt many of us are pro Man City in isolation, it's likely to be a two horse race for the title again. And given the choice between Liverpool and Man City winning the PL...I suspect I'm not alone in wanting it to be City AKA not Liverpool! Unless City are playing Saints, I want them to win every game not because I support them, but because if they do it means that Liverpool don't win the league.
Not me. Every time I speak to a red they refer to themselves as the european champions. Like we don't already know. I don't think I could bare them being English champions, and I'm not ready to emigrate just yet!
City are just a broken glitch of a team, too good to play the others, but it kinda nullifies the winning. That I can take.

I imagine you're in the minority on the Southampton board with that though...apart from the part about preferring Southampton to win the league. That we can agree on
Though you know Liverpool also splash the cash around if thats why you hate City so much? And also, that's how you won the FA cup last time.
