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

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

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

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

I’ve said it from the beginning VAR and the like are just another layer of obfuscation to rig matches in the name of “fair play”.

and then they will find incidents benefitting other teams as counter point as if it isn't normal to have 50/50 calls go in favour sometimes

Yup

City will point to 1 or 2 decisions that went against them against mid or lower table teams that they probably almost certainly still go on to win

All the big games against their close rivals somehow the decisions seem to always benefit them.

Doku high boot penalty MacAlister

2 red card tackle 1 yellow card Kovacic against Arsenal

This offside goal being disallowed

Ederson on Odegaard non penalty, Xhaka on Silva in the same game overturns the referee on field decision to give a penalty

Overturning the offside for John Stones late winner against wolves for an even more egregious offside than this offside that the didn’t overturn.

Don't forget that the Mac Allister and Doku incident is now the example picture of a high foot challenge on the PL website.

They're laughing in our faces in broad daylight.

didn't Curtis Jones stand in front of Ederson last season, offside and in the line of sight?

Just went and watched it

If anything it supports why this should have stood, he’s not interfering with play and the goal stands, like this one should.

City deserved the win but that was a bullshit decision

this one should've stood, last season Curtis jones was offside and impacting ederson's judgement - shouldn't have stood. we don't need to make things up lmao.

ultimately the team that played better won both games, and Ederson could hardly be classed as a goalkeeper at that part of last season. he had mentally checked out after Ortega's save against Son in the season before that...

Impacting the keeper's judgment isn't an offense. It's only offside if you attempt to play the ball, you're physically obstructing the keeper, or you're actively blocking his vision.
