Good game. 

 

Bizarre decision at the end there, waves play on, sees it's a goalscoring opportunity and then brings it back. Good to see it's not just up here there's clueless decisions.

Anyone understand why ref didn't play on when Grealish through on goal? Utterly ridiculous from a ref who looks like he is struggling to keep up with play.

 

Looked to me like there might have been an offside and so no advantage?

 

Either way, there should have been about 9 Man City players/staff booked for dissent if the ref had decided to actually enforce the rules.

 

edit: i've seen it again and definitely no offside, strange decision.

You aren't one of those fake "fans" of an English team are you?

I cannot stand the inbred rotters that he came from, but big Ange is strolling the EPL, Spurs are by far the most entertaining team to watch. A couple of transfer windows and they will be in great shape.

 

As for City, they will still stroll the league IF they close the back door.

You don't give offside though, you play on and VAR can check it.

Ref has better hope it was offside or he's going to look a complete twat. No doubt they'll be making up a story to back the decision up, no doubt with Howard Webb on the phone helping them.

As for complaints, no point in bringing in sinbin if referee is frightened to use the current rules.

You could see he was bricking it.

Or did he? Grealish looked off to me and the linesman may have said that to the ref. 

 

It would have warranted carrying on and finding out after IMO.

That’s one of the discussions around the way VAR works with offside. Imagine if they’d kept play going and Vicario came out and went through Grealish (nice as that idea is) and Grealish was injured and missed a couple of months? It’s surely a matter of time until that very scenario comes true and a manager kicks off because the officials didn’t stop play straight away.

What I thought at the time.

 

Funny to see Haaland losing his sh1t at no one in particular at the end - he must've  been 50 yards away from the officials.

Great game, great goals and a most enjoyable afternoons entertainment.

Imagine if a keeper came out and halfed an outfield player only to find out their was an offside. I'm sure a red card would still be issued. 

Oh wait, in Scotland you can half a player and it's only a yellow.

He is a terrible keeper. Not sure how he is even a professional.

[waterboy11]

With Haaland now being the quickest to 50 goals in the premier league, is this confirmation that the EPL is also a farmers league? This was the case when Haaland did it in Germany

Onside and the ref signalling advantage, before pulling it back.  Could the ref be a Man U/Liverpool/Arsenal fan?

I doubt it. He's just way out of his depth and shouldn't be reffing professional football

I thought he had been quite good up to that point. Wasn't giving fouls or penalties for wee touches that resulted in collapses by some players and kept the game going where possible. Whatever went through his mind at the end, only he knows. He'd be better just apologising publicly and admitting that he made a terrible mistake.

Ironically, if he'd blown for the foul immediately, he would probably have not exposed himself to the ridicule and criticism he's now getting. Grealish still had a lot to do, in my opinion. He's not the quickest player and could have been caught or made to try a shot earlier than he would have liked. We'll never know.

Why did he go to Spurs? 😫😫😫

[benny]

I think he has made a few errors this season already.

Never gave Wolves a penalty at Old Trafford in the first weekend and he was the ref in the controversial Spurs and Liverpool game this season.

Because despite all he won at Celtic he knew it was a rotten club from some inside the boardroom to a fair size of their fan base. Soon as Spurs came calling there was only one outcome.

Honestly baffling.

 

Some refs deserve the abuse they get, arrogant, incompetent twats.

Only thing I disagree with is your he made a terrible mistake comment.

A mistake would have been blowing whistle straight away. He made a conscious decision to blow his whistle when he saw Grealish running through on goal. That wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate action.

He should be sacked immediately.

[JJ93]

Why did he need to blow his whistle? With VAR, if he got it wrong, it would have been corrected anyway. Rookie mistake! 

[Jambos_1874]

There's no guarantee he would have gone on to have scored and I can't say I'm disappointed to see Man City drop points.

That's the kind of attitude that means things don't change though.

Ourselves, Aberdeen and Hibs have a lot of common grievances.

But fans find them funny when it happens to someone else.

Wall to wall games. 270 games to be covered between Sky and TNT.  There are 380 games played each season, so we are getting close to live coverage of every game.

A different world, gap getting even bigger, can only hope a few decent youngsters may be tempted up here for some game time.

[Mikey1874]

The floor is open for those who say the Premier League is in trouble.

 

 

[Bill Sikes]

The EPL has been brilliant so far this season.

 

Some of the goals scored over this weekend alone where absolutely exceptional and some of the games recently have been quite brilliant.

 

Chuck in the added spice with VAR and it makes for compulsive viewing.

 

So many simple lessons to learn from the EPL & we're stuck with a 2 team league followed by a 10 team league playing each other every few weeks with bent officials and plastic pitches. Not even a pint at half time to cheer you up.

 

Scottish Football is dead.

EPL will go pop yadadada.

 

I'm sure it will eventually but it's going to have been decades of elite football by the time it happens.

[Shooter McGavin]

EPL raking in billions, widening the already gigantic gap even further, meanwhile Scottish football is run by a dysfunctional bowling club committee who are solely focussed on keeping two clubs happy.

 

Some laugh.

In other news, it sounds like the Man Utd players have turned on another manager, reports of a huge fracture in the dressing room.

 

Has there been a club with as many unlikeable squads as Man Utd in the last 10 years?

Chelsea would run them very close.
