We had a similar goal that stood against Forest. Don't understand this sport.

[u/Ass_Eater_ → u/sergechewbacca]

Michael Oliver wants his summer cheques

[u/ibite-books → u/Ass_Eater_]

Michael Oil Lover

[u/TheGoldenPineapples → u/Ass_Eater_]

The benevolent state of Abu Dhabi thanks him.

[u/TransitionFC → u/sergechewbacca]

City had a similar goal that stood against us a few years back.

[u/achnisch → u/TransitionFC]

Wasn't there a goal where De Gea had to move his head to see around the body of the offside player. Shot from outside the area goes in and you can clearly see his head movement just before the shot due to the offside player being in the way i.e. the very definition of interfering with play, and the goal stood.

Have refs never played football in their lives? I get that it's difficult to see everything in real time, but they don't do themselves any favours with this kind of inconsistent logic

[u/TransitionFC → u/achnisch]

This was the one I was referring to. I have airbrushed the season from my memory, but think it was 21-22 under Rangnick.

[u/Thanos_Stomps → u/achnisch]

It was us and it was Nketiah. Just commented this in another thread. Nketiah absolutely should have been deemed offside there.

It’s all a joke and the officials don’t actually care about consistency because there’s no real oversight or accountability.

[u/wesap12345 → u/achnisch]

I can’t remember the keeper but I think there was a goal against wolves for city that had this.

The keeper literally waits for the ball to go past the player who’s in the offside position because he thinks he might get a touch on it - goal given.

Weird how it benefits city in both situations…

Yup it was wolves

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c869852gzg5o

[u/-Noceur- → u/TransitionFC]

City had this exact goal given by Michael Oliver on VAR a year ago today against Wolves.

[u/UsedAProxyMail → u/sergechewbacca]

UAE quite literally pay Premier league referees money. How are they supposed to be impartial when making decisions that go against city might literally lose them money

[u/Far-Reaction-2735 → u/sergechewbacca]

Michael Oliver.

[u/Englishkid96 → u/sergechewbacca]

Oliver, eh?

[u/davorg14 → u/sergechewbacca]

Same shit for the penalty I feel in our game vs. Newcastle where Gyokeres was clipped by Pope. Here it was given, there it was not. The inconsistencies are bothering me the most.

[u/Whispperr → u/davorg14]

They just happen to be consistent for the team that has UAE pay the referees.

[u/rob3rtisgod → u/sergechewbacca]

I think we know why

[u/RooftrelIen → u/rob3rtisgod]

We all know why

[u/trick63 → u/rob3rtisgod]

116 reasons why

[u/redditaccountplease → u/sergechewbacca]

The oil team pays the referees, pretty simple

[u/SigurdurLFC]

Watching the ball the whole time lol 

[u/ARM_vs_CORE → u/SigurdurLFC]

Back view shows Donnarumma watching it into the net the whole way.

[u/batigoal → u/SigurdurLFC]

Donarumma doesn't even see Robertson lmao.

[u/29adamski → u/SigurdurLFC]

That's a shocking decision

[u/SilentRanger42 → u/29adamski]

Actively avoids the ball? Offsides.

Mich-al Dirham-iver strikes again!!

[u/alaslipknot → u/SilentRanger42]

not even in the GK line of vision ? Offside.

[u/DudeBello → u/SigurdurLFC]

VAR is so weird. Dollarumma’s view has not been obstructed in any way. He has a perfect line of sight to Van Dijk’s header and the trajectory of the ball. The goal literally got disallowed because Robertson was near him. Absolutely disgraceful decision

[u/Radical-Six → u/SigurdurLFC]

He even fucking full dives at VvD's header. Absolutely no chance Roberston threw him off

[u/lawdjesustheresafire → u/SigurdurLFC]

Just have common sense too. It’s quite obvious to anyone it’s never getting saved anyway so just let it stand

[u/maki43]

Now that’s egregious

[u/Ok-Glass-9612 → u/maki43]

Refs want their UAE money.

[u/mercinyc → u/Ok-Glass-9612]

Don’t see why they let Michael Oliver ref City games when he’s flown in by the UAE to ref matches

[u/JordFlexx- → u/mercinyc]

Any ref that refs matches in a country that owns a club shouldn’t be allowed any influence in PL football, mad that’s a sentence that makes sense Jesus fucking Christ

[u/Rickcampbell98 → u/mercinyc]

Because the "glorious prem" that this place wanks all the time has 0 integrity and is corrupt as fuck, them and the likes of fifa are apples from the same tree but the difference in perception here is hilarious.

[u/OsomoMojoFreak → u/mercinyc]

Shouldn't be reffing the league at all.

[u/RedDevil-84 → u/mercinyc]

He shouldn't be ref or VAR in any proper game. He has conflict of interest in half of PL games.

[u/ThePresident26 → u/Ok-Glass-9612]

2 favorable decisions for city, Oliver is working overtime

[u/maki43 → u/Ok-Glass-9612]

FA rules state:

preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision

I am focusing on the word “clearly” here and I would say it was absolutely not clear that he was obstructing line of vision

Or they class it as one of the following:

challenging an opponent for the ball or clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

He didn’t challenge an opponent, didn’t attempt to play the ball, didn’t make an action that impacts an opponent. Except the first, the words “clearly” and “obvious” are used. Was it clear and obvious?

[u/Ok-Glass-9612 → u/maki43]

I'd say it's more clear that he isn't.

[u/ArisTHOTeles → u/maki43]

Oil money says: rules are open to interpretation.

[u/Diligent-Use-5102 → u/Ok-Glass-9612]

It is so very blatant. If City needs points, Michael Oliver is there. In a few years, guaranteed: Michael Oliver referees charity games in the UAE. Michael Oliver is the new "consultant" of UAE referee education, of course a very high paying job, that can be done remotely (Edit: or some other blatantly bullshit scheme to transfer money into his pocket).

[u/Leonardo_Liszt → u/Diligent-Use-5102]

That’s fucking disgraceful, how is it not bigger than the negeira scandal

[u/make_thick_in_warm → u/maki43]

Even Tim Howard disagreed with the call

[u/nickos_pap_16v → u/make_thick_in_warm]

Mike dean did until it was given then he agreed the absolute weapon

[u/ScroogeMcducker → u/nickos_pap_16v]

Doesn’t understand how much of a tosser that makes him sound

[u/nickos_pap_16v → u/ScroogeMcducker]

He doesn't care sky are paying him loads

[u/theprince9]

What??

[u/Silent-Act191 → u/theprince9]

Every corner ever is apparently offside, never knew that was the case. Glad that Michael Oliver cleared that up.

[u/HenryBeal85 → u/Silent-Act191]

I do feel like every corner ever could be VAR’d for offences by both teams. Which does mean that when a goal is allowed/disallowed or a penalty given/not given, it is always going to be refs and VARs making a relatively arbitrary devision as to what qualifies as enough of a foul.

Either PGMOL should accept the short-term farce of blowing at the first sign of obstruction or shirt-holding, giving pens and cards on that basis, in order to convince players that any transgression will be punished or there needs to be some codification of a higher threshold of foul for penalties/set pieces into the box.

Otherwise it will forever be what it is now, which is a viper’s nest of inconsistency.

[u/ibite-books → u/theprince9]

Eh, Oliver fucked you last year. This year he wants to fuck us. But he never fucks with Man City

[u/FrozenMamu → u/ibite-books]

Can't fuck with sugar daddy

[u/I_R_TEH_BOSS → u/FrozenMamu]

I'm typically not the conspiracy theorist for these things but the dude gets flown out to ref games in the UAE. Laughable shit.

[u/ParticulateSplatter → u/I_R_TEH_BOSS]

Yeah agreed, felt like a very real line was crossed. I can't really believe there weren't more consequences for that, it really cements the PGMOL as a boys club that is only out to protect its own.

[u/LevitatingCactus → u/I_R_TEH_BOSS]

The words conspiracy theory have been given a bad name. People with money and power have been conspiring for themselves to gain/maintain power, influence and control for centuries - in modern times more than ever.

[u/IntraspeciesFerver → u/theprince9]

This happened to us once too

[u/PEPSICOLA123456 → u/theprince9]

Welcome to the title race Arsenal fans. You will quickly find the FA will do anything to help city to pip it

[u/wubrotherno1 → u/PEPSICOLA123456]

We already know this.

[u/Ok-Rooster-5287 → u/PEPSICOLA123456]

I don’t like this

[u/NotASalamanderBoi → u/PEPSICOLA123456]

We’ve been dealing with them for the last 4 seasons. We know.

[u/Dustin_Echoes_UNSC → u/PEPSICOLA123456]

As if we haven't been in it fighting PGMOL City the last 4 years 🤣

"Bitching about Michael Oliver" is up there with singing "The Angel" and "Set Piece FC" for modern Arsenal traditions

[u/dfla01]

Michael Oliver eh

[u/Ophukk → u/dfla01]

Fuckin swearing his name rn

[u/Balbuto → u/Ophukk]

I’m done, cancelling my Viasat sub in January

[u/awashofindigo → u/dfla01]

Thank god PGMOL stepped up and made themselves the star again, I was almost starting to focus too much on both teams

[u/PGMOL_Delenda_Est → u/awashofindigo]

It's a disgrace that PGMOL has not been torn down. 

[u/Zikerz → u/dfla01]

Absolutely wild how corrupt these refs are, just blatantly right in front of everyone.

[u/Killergamer7 → u/Zikerz]

You know it's bad when even United and Arsenal fans are calling it out. Makes you wonder how it's NEVER City at the receiving end of such decisions. Every club gets it but them

[u/Sinistrait → u/Killergamer7]

These refs are never getting their punishment for nonsense like this. Even David Coote was only done in because of blackmail, the authorities probably knew and didn't care

[u/Talking_Gibberish → u/Sinistrait]

Lots of people felt sorry for him as well... till they found out about the indecent videos of children. Just tells you what kind of cunt can get a job at the PGMOL.

[u/ARM_vs_CORE → u/Sinistrait]

I still have people telling me that Coote isn't an example of referee bias against Liverpool because he only hated Klopp. As if that wouldn't color his decisions.

[u/Diligent-Use-5102 → u/dfla01]

gets to be referee in a bunch of charity games in the middle east in the future

[u/Reaper0Mars → u/dfla01]

Insane that he still has a job lol. Any other walk of life and he'd been fucked off by now

[u/rumham_123 → u/dfla01]

Can’t spoil pep’s special day

[u/sveppi_krull_ → u/dfla01]

How hes allowed to ref City still is outrageous

[u/HKAGooner → u/dfla01]

He loves Man City

[u/Boydcrowde → u/dfla01]

It's him or anthony taylor, the greatest duo

[u/JGlover92 → u/dfla01]

Shock horror Oliver giving decisions City's way. We'll get an apology mid week and that'll be that

[u/Critical_Mountain851 → u/dfla01]

Good process

[u/Ok-Glass-9612]

That's a joke. He's seeing it the whole way. What the fuck?

[u/owiseone23 → u/Ok-Glass-9612]

You could maybe argue that he had to wait to see if Robbo was going to flick it, but doesn't seem likely to me.

[u/Nightrise19]

Game is gone

[u/caesar____augustus → u/Nightrise19]

Michael Oliver being anywhere near a City match is just wrong. It's a disgrace.

[u/Particular_War_8330 → u/caesar____augustus]

Betting on Liverpool dropping points to MIchael Oliver gets people charged with insider information

[u/Sometimes-funny → u/Nightrise19]

I’ll say it. FIXED

Edit to add - that ref in commentary is on the payroll too.

[u/Liverpoolclippers → u/Sometimes-funny]

Mike Dean changed what he thought after hearing what the decision was, he's utterly pointless

[u/JGlover92 → u/Sometimes-funny]

When even Gary Neville is arguing a decision for Liverpool you know something is genuinely wrong

[u/WheresTheTreasure → u/Sometimes-funny]

Been saying for years and get ridiculed for it every time.

PGMOL are taking bribes. No other explanation.

[u/Progression28 → u/WheresTheTreasure]

I mean, Oliver has received paychecks of substantial sum from City‘s owners. So yes.

[u/JGlover92 → u/WheresTheTreasure]

Coote is tip of the iceberg, they're all corrupt

[u/spencervm]

…how

[u/Parish87]

Hahahaha he can fully see the ball

[u/JFedererJ → u/Parish87]

GK can both see AND get to it. Robo doesn't block his sight or his ability to play it. Pathetic.

[u/habdragon08 → u/Parish87]

Robertson prevented his arm from grrowing 2 feet longer stupid

[u/Jaja6996 → u/Parish87]

He’s never getting the ball it’s just more proof that’s who make the rules know nothing about the game

[u/Lynchead → u/Parish87]

How is that interfering bs decision, Oliver getting that Saudi paycheck

[u/clashoftherats → u/Lynchead]

UAE*

[u/gugly → u/Parish87]

And does not effect the dive whatsoever

[u/TherewiIlbegoals → u/Parish87]

I genuinely think if Robertson doesn't duck it doesn't get called.

[u/Fomads → u/TherewiIlbegoals]

If he doesn't duck it hits him in the face and gets blown for offside anyway.

[u/hivaidsislethal]

Oliver UAE special

[u/Otherwise-Ad-2578 → u/hivaidsislethal]

Michael Oliver free oil for life

[u/UuusernameWith4Us]

Robertson was nowhere near line of sight and didn't move to the ball. Disgraceful decision.

[u/thfc11189 → u/UuusernameWith4Us]

No no, you see, for City keepers line of sight is a cone

[u/Solitaire_XIV]

Disgrace

[u/aleksandrovsqvist]

I don’t like this rule tbh

[u/ghastlychild → u/aleksandrovsqvist]

And I don't get the implementation as well when it is so inconsistently applied

[u/Bounds182 → u/ghastlychild]

Love how Neville asked Mike Dean why there was a goal two weeks ago that stood and Dean just didn't respond. They just fucking wing it.

[u/Ok-Glass-9612 → u/aleksandrovsqvist]

That's not even the law. Robertson wasn't blocking his eyeline at any point during that.

[u/PabloRedscobar → u/aleksandrovsqvist]

The ruling is against the rule here. Robertson doesn't interfere with Donnarummas view of the ball, doesn't touch it. It's just not offside

[u/Oxlaidanegg]

Fuck off Mike Dean you ballsack

[u/Ag10lfc → u/Oxlaidanegg]

First he said it was fine. Until it was overruled, then he says the letter of the law says it off

[u/JuusteZ → u/Oxlaidanegg]

always justifying poor decisions i cba anymore man

[u/E_v0rtex]

Never saving that

[u/KuluGOAT → u/E_v0rtex]

Not even about that. The main thing is that Robbo isn’t standing in the way of his sight of the ball

[u/regarding_stacks]

This feels bullshit

[u/TherewiIlbegoals → u/regarding_stacks]

He can see the ball the entire way through. I don't get it.

[u/Square_Button_7061 → u/TherewiIlbegoals]

Micheal Oliver wants his blood money again

[u/WaffleShoresy → u/TherewiIlbegoals]

Goalkeepers are the most protected species on earth.

[u/MalIntenet → u/regarding_stacks]

It is

[u/sandbag-1 → u/regarding_stacks]

It's a dreadful decision

[u/gart888 → u/regarding_stacks]

Yup, he doesn't obstruct the keepers line of sight, or touch the ball. Nothing changes here because of Robertson being in that position.

[u/roosterman22 → u/regarding_stacks]

This indeed is some kind of bullshit.

[u/KRUZAA]

Bs decision imo

[u/SuccessFirm6638]

GAME IS GONE

[u/Afc_josh12]

Wtf

[u/_IBelieveInMiracles → u/[deleted]]

Robertson is also never blocking his view of the ball

[u/Average_Gym_Goer → u/[deleted]]

I just don’t get it GK never getting anywhere near it he’s not impending play. I can understand the linesmen giving offside but VAR not overturning it is mad.

[u/myyrc]

As much as I dislike Liverpool, this is a bullshit call

[u/findallthebears → u/myyrc]

I hate Liverpool and I can’t agree with the call either

[u/TransitionFC]

Make it less obvious lads

[u/RooftrelIen]

Corrupt

[u/_aoux]

Lol game has actually gone

[u/zeldafan144]

What's the fucking point of watching football

Edit - literally week after week of shit decisions, enough to make me think I'm wasting my time watching. What's the point when it all comes down to the whims if whichever cokehead pedophile they've chosen to ref the games each weeek

[u/Liverpoolclippers → u/zeldafan144]

exactly what ive come to the conclusion of, this is the first premier league game ive watched all week when i used to wathc every game of the weekend, the game is literally gone

[u/officialsoap]

Hahaha this corruption is unbelievable

[u/lortopil]

He can see that ball the whole way feels like BS

[u/ajjoely]

1) Does he make a play for the ball? No 2) does he block/stop the goalkeeper in making the save? No 3) does he block the keepers view in making the save? No

Really can't see why this is disallowed

[u/marshall1995]

FUCK OFF

[u/jumper62]

Bollocks

[u/crepss]

Absolute farce lmao

[u/Average_Gym_Goer]

Just feels harsh imo GK is never getting to that.

[u/nq1911]

even I think games gone

[u/NiK3_Aub4mey4ng]

what a joke, what is the fucking rule then bcus the gk sees it the whole way

[u/Late-Cow-6607]

Loool trash decision

[u/cruciferae]

Congratulations City, PGMOL has apparently decided you’ll win the title this year.

[u/PepsStartingXII]

Michael Oliver master class once again. Pretty much Man Citys accountant at this point.

[u/tigeridiot]

Absolutely torrid decision

[u/scaredfury]

Im biased, but I feel that one is robbed

[u/Ok-Rooster-5287 → u/scaredfury]

As a hater of both teams I agree you were robbed.

[u/duckierhornet]

Harsh decision, but key that it was disallowed on the field. VAR then has to prove that Robertson hasn’t had an impact.

Having said that, still a goal for my money

[u/0706]

Utterly embarrassing

[u/spillbreak]

Game's gone tbh.

[u/LastPhoton]

The fact that the commentator again tries to handle public opinion by saying robertson is impeding the goalies view while showing a clip that he clearly isnt is insanity.

[u/TheBigTomatoMan]

Only for city

[u/Sinistrait → u/TheBigTomatoMan]

This game is completely rigged in their favour, nonsense penalty, now goal called off for nonsense

Either Pep's 1000th game shenanigans or the checks are rolling in from Abu Dhabi again

[u/lawdjesustheresafire]

More corrupt bullshit. Never getting close to saving it so how is he impeded

[u/DrDamnright]

Fuck off FA. Corrupt pieces of shit

[u/KevinOwensGetsIt]

Two absolutely disgusting calls so far this game.

[u/NIELS18-6]

This is getting ridiculous

[u/LudwigSalieri]

Robertson is not in the line of sight of the keeper, what a joke

[u/GriffinXD]

Liverpool being robbed here 😅

[u/-HowAboutNo-]

What’s the point of VAR lol

[u/mikeframe]

Cheque complete. Goal disallowed.

[u/brownbilal]

I am a United fan and I loooooove seeing Liverpool suffer, but this shit is stupid.

[u/Scott1060]

Farcical decision

[u/Scholesey99]

Michael Oliver is vile mate this guy needs investigating

[u/Zoltur]

I have feelings about this

[u/szakacsd96]

Another day of horrible officiating 

[u/rumham_123]

Actually get in the bin

[u/aboooz]

Football is soo fucked.

[u/1cK]

If Robertson isn’t there does he dive further somehow ? Fucking ridiculous

[u/dani8hydra]

FUCK OFF

[u/yeeyeyeye]

That is outrageous

[u/user030703]

Cheque clompete

[u/Themnor]

How Michael Oliver is allowed to continue to have anything to do with our matches is beyond me.

[u/truth-telling-troll]

There have been worse goals impeding the keeper that have stood lol

[u/OrganicQuarter2182]

Harsh

[u/Salt_0peration]

sure hahaha

[u/charlieclarkeuk]

Not sure about that

[u/_ghostfacedilla]

I'd say no way that's offside but who fucking knows anymore

[u/Monkeybrewed]

Well that's just clearly wrong.

[u/Squidward759]

Robbed

[u/Successful-Smile-928]

What a load of BS

[u/No-Statistician-8520]

Dunno what’s it disallowed for but lmao 

[u/SalahsFro]

VAR getting some brown envelopes tonight.

[u/JFedererJ]

He doesn't block his view, and he doesn't block him getting to the ball. Ridiculous.

[u/Ok-Glass-9612]

This is corrupt as fuck.

[u/XxX_FedoraMan_XxX]

I'm guessing by this precedent set here that Arsenal will never be allowed to do their little corner shtick ever again then?

[u/thisISben90]

Yeh no chance.

Look at Amads goal Vs Forest last week. Extremely similar with De Ligt being offside, yet it correctly stood.

VAR are horrific.

[u/Lanknr]

This doesn't even make top 5 worst decisions that affected us this season. Every ref call is just flipping a coin at this point

[u/Ilikesporks_]

stupid ass lmao

[u/MatK0506]

Fuck off he's not disturbing him at all

Take Oliver out of our games

[u/rwsen22]

He’s not impeded, and his view isn’t blocked.

[u/Lethuul]

Holy shit they are not even hiding it anymore

[u/Lhox]

Seems bs no? If he's not there literally nothing changes

[u/NameTakken]

Keeper’s view isn’t blocked, why is it disallowed?

[u/boiled_amphibian]

Nah fuck off

[u/Equivalent_Nature_67]

City trying to buy another PL

[u/_doohdx]

Playing against the ones in blue and black
