United losing to a ridiculous decision that’s been allowed due to the letter of the law even though it should never be a rule.

Karma didn’t hang around. Literally their next home match to even out the Maguire nonsense they benefitted from.

Lovely.

100% agree, as much as I hate City that was brilliant.

By the letter of the law and “clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent”

Fernandez impacts the keeper, visibly

Our ridiculous VAR moment was that they ruled a blatant deliberate handball, as accidental.

All the other rules w@nkfest that followed was all immaterial. It’s a deliberate handball. And it was clear and obvious.

Whilst I will be eternally grateful to Gamechanger 20 I don't want to see American style things such as managers interviewed on the pitch during the game. I don't want to see 45 minute half times whilst some has been of a pop star fluants themselves lipsinking on the pitch.

Just on United....

They've lost to a newly promoted side.
They couldn't hold on to 3 points at Everton.
They've lost to a team with 10 men (albeit a great team).
And in their one victory so far, they needed a player slipping over and a mind-altering reinterpretation of the handball law to get them going.

Unlucky with hitting the post twice today, though.

It’s about language and semantics. Without a doubt Fernandez influences the decisions made by keeper and defender but doesn’t impact them.

The law states impact and I think it is clearly a goal that should stand had it been given onfield, however what surprised me is the VAR chose to overrule the offside decision which was given especially considering we are being told that VAR is low touch, especially as it was against Man Utd at Old Trafford.

Obviously it will rumble on, but what should be the focus is what a brilliant display by City with 10 men, at Old Trafford, nearly tactically perfect from the point Foden was dismissed.

Notice how our owners stay in the background and let those appointed to do so, get on with things? That's a model for any non Brit ownership to follow. As for the rest, it's just fluff, and not just down to Americans.

Regardless of the team playing, another ridiculous tinkering of the rules. Where do these people get these ideas from. Of no benefit to football or the fans.

Probably Haaland was given offside on the pitch?

Whilst the decision was wrong, it's glad that these new decisions have bit them on the backside here. Funny how they are moaning about this but didn't say a word about the handball

As for Fernandez getting Foden sent off

I understand why, just surprised it was. I wonder if there would have been the volume of debate had it been left as offside once it was clear that Haaland was in fact onside. Sports media do like to make mountains from molehills, and this has given them a perfect situation to milk.

I loved the fact that Gary Neville was throwing his toys out of the pram about the injustice of the decision. Prick.

He wasn't bothered when the VAR decision went in their favour against us and the injustice of that.

Now him and the rest of Man Utd lot know how it feels. Karma is a bitch.

Why are people saying this? He was pretty vocally on our side about it.

What on earth are you on about? He was very vocal about the one against us being wrong!

OK, fair enough, my bad.

I was working when the Man U game was on.

I incorrectly assumed he would side with them.

Nah - United fans call him out for being anti them more often than not!

Wouldn't be surprised if Carrick is gone by Christmas. There's a reason he got the boot from Boro after starting well. United have fallen for the same caretaker trap as they did with OGS.
