Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

From the FA rule book on offside.
    • making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
Akanji slowed down because Rashford had ran in front of him. The only way he could have got to Fernandes is if he ran through Rashford would would have been a foul.

Even looking at the rules they can't get it right. Akanji never even tried to play the ball.
 
Theirs a couple there calling for Pep out... jesus wept. I don't like to make fun of my owns clubs support but really? One of the best manager of all time on his first poor run in 3 years, losing a derby in that manner against a rejuvenated United at a bouncing Old Trafford and still 2nd in the league and theres a couple of prats who want him sacked. You couldn't make it up.
They're all basically plastics. What do you expect? They only support the club when Pep can bring them at minimal 2 trophies per year.

The funny thing is on that forum they are mostly hardcore and not the plastics who came in when we got successful (which is we're being honest, City haven't gained nearly as many of as we'd have hoped). The core group there are match going middle aged folk who have been with City through thick and thin, which makes their inability to appreciate what we currently have all the weirder.

When you've seen Stuart Pearce play David James as a striker (complete with his own outfield shirt), or the club spunk a record 5m on Lee Bradbury as a striker you shouldn't be crying bout having Pep Guardiola.

"over it"

feck it won't let them cheating cnuts ruin my weekend.

we know they are shite and without that leg up by Oliver they were going nowhere in the game.

Had worst defeats happen to them, and they will always be cnuts so feck em.

Win or Lose on the booze as we always say.


"Perspective"
I was bored one night and recently went though all my programmes and kept a log on the computer of all the games I’ve been to watch City.

I started in 97 when I was 7 with a loss to Middlesbrough! I didn’t see City win in any of my first 8 games (2 draws and 6 losses) the first win was in 2002, I was 12.

My point being, we don’t know sometimes how lucky we are! We lost today to United but look how they reacted, it was like their cup final! Yes we are going through a sticky patch, we knew with the World Cup etc we would and every team does.

Let’s all calm down, there’s half the season to go. I for one am not panicking. Have a lovely weekend everyone!
You mean well I'm sure.
It would be great to go back to that post Christmas run when Pearce was our manager, that would be wonderful.
fecking hell another needless thread.
 
They can never ever admit United are decent can they. Be fuming at the equaliser, fine. Acknowledge that you only managed to create one chance, good (1 shot on target in 2 matches by the way).

But we're 1 point off you, flying and are actually worth our wins game in game out, they can never say we look good.
 
My favourite one so far is "If City won a match like that there's no way I'd celebrate it". Imagine if every fan in the stadium took that approach. Just total silence after watching your team score a late goal against your rivals.
 
No, not really, they created nothing after our goal, nor were they dominating.
Officiating was as bad as it gets. All those wanting us to win in spite of criminal refereeing decisions are a bit deluded and harsh on the team.
Those ignoring how poor we are right now and blaming it all on officiating are equally deluded.
6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.
Correct, we've had too many games like today this season and that is why we won't win the league. Arsenal will beat us at there place.
...
We need to make a formal complaint about that offside.
City will do feck all other than bend over and take it as usual.
...
I’ve just watched the replay of their first goal and (I know this is unpopular view) as far as I am concerned there was nothing wrong with. Rashford didn’t ”interfer”. The two City defenders closest to the ball didnt stop or noticeably slow down as others on here have suggested.
...
We had one shot all game and in the main were second best.
This. We're so passive. It's coached. The coach is fecking this up. Let's just be honest and not weird about it. Pep was awesome. Nothing lasts forever.
...
BT showing a zoomed in replay to show fish fingers didn't touch the ball but he shielded it and shaped to shoot so that's interfering fore
...
The media get their wish and we will have to endure a love in for frankly a poor Utd team. They won today due to weak officials but they also threw everything into defending. By comparison our defence looked slow and without Rodri doing most to stop easy passes into the box we would have been in real trouble. Our play is based about setting a rhythm and pace from the back and the back four today were far too slow.

Also Phil and Mahrez did not give the two Utd fullbacks who are not the best any trouble - the lack of pace out wide stopped us dominating in an attacking sense. No good having so much of the ball with so few attempts.

Jack played really well and its a shame that we couldn't get the win which would have been a big moment for him.

Gutted but Pep has some big calls to make and we need to bounce back after two really bad performances.
Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. 1 shot on target in 2 games is a very worrying stat.
Chill. Do Arsenal then do these cheating cnuts in the cup. All these dodgy decisions remind me of the dipper league winning season.
I don't understand why we refuse to play over the top to Haaland but give the ball away trying clipped balls or wayward headers into the midfield.
The Offside goal is a farce, he is running over the ball for multiple seconds.
Without Rushford being there, that pass wouldn't have been made
Players like Mike Doyle, Franny Lee, Mike Summerbee, Denis Law, and Colin Bell would have not recognised that fiasco of a game as a Manchester derby. It just shows how pathetic the contemporary game has become now.
Could this be the beginning of the end!
Unpopular Opinion - We've been shit since Pep's contract extension
Thankfully we can rely on the team to win the Champions League.
Did pep really just say hes not bothered about cup & prem league ??

That will fill players with confidence pep.
...

• 2nd in the league,
• +28 GD.
• Scored more goals than every other team in the league.
• Second best defence in the league.
• Currently 5 points behind the leaders with 60 to play for.

Yep. Absolutely wank!
Yesssss get the feck in
...
Absolute fecking joke. Anything they could do to bend over for those cnuts
...
Pep has been brilliant for us but we need change
Are you for fecking real. Idiot. Which one are you scouser or rag or just a fecking idiot
...
Forget the result, that was clear robbery!
there's nothing you can do againts corruption, we're in a 3 way title fight now.
Title fight for top 4 I assume you mean? You've watched us play, why the feck would we win the league?
...
Pep knows its bent thats, why he is saying we cant win the Prem cos he knows we are not going to be allowed to compete for it .
...
??? Apparently our manager is so,so happy.
It's true, the carabao and league are gone
...
Man Utd (2.07) 2-1 (0.76) Man City
What the hell is happening to us?
Exactly this. We're not making chances. Too slow, not enough risks being taken.
Teams have worked out how to stop the balls into Haaland. We are just a passing team now.
We had something like 75% possession against Southampton and lost by 2 with no shots on target.
It reminds me of what happened to Arsenal towards the end of Wengers time.
...
Maybe this will change their decision and we will sign someone?
We've been hit and miss with our recruitment.
For every Haaland is a perma crocked and technically limited Phillips.
I mean we've had years to get a left back and they went for Gomez who is barely good enough for the Carabao cup.
If I am City I am going into the Market and snatching a full back and winger without caring about price
...
If both the Daily Fail and the Sun use the phrase "very controversial" you know it's dodgy as feck. VAR manufacturing results season 3. fecking robbed.
...
On commentary here in Oz , we had that DICKEAD Beglin saying "Öh it's shouldn't be a penalty, Casemiro was just a bit clumsy , that's all"
feck OFF you feckIN WANKER BEGLIN!
LEARN THE RULES OF THE GAME !
A FOUL IN THE 18 YARD BOX IS A PENALTY !

WANKER !!! WHAT A GOBSHITE !
Blatant penalty
...
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on the offside decision...
"We know where we play."
So get your team to take more fecking risks!!!
He means those decisions always happen at the swamp and Anfield.
I know but those decisions don't matter if you're 3-0 up.
...
Its annoying as all the pundits, pundit refs etc are all saying the right decision. This makes it harder to take when no one is actually calling it out.
No one with any voice has the balls to speak out.
Richard Keys of all people has just called it out.
What did he say
Something on his twitter feed about how PGMOL or something needing to come out and explain that decision.
I wouldnt read his replies though, crawling with reds.
...
Come on Arsenal. If we aren't getting near, which looks the case this season. Then anybody but the rags or the scouse vermin.
United aren’t getting anywhere near the title.
Neither are we
...
Arse and United are shite too!
Arse aren't. The other red shit fecking are which is why today is now drinking to oblivion day.
...

at 1-0 my family were buzzing . i said hang on , they haven't had their help yet.
And my goodness what help they got!
...

On balance rags deserved it. We were woeful, bar 20 odd minutes before we scored we could barely string two passes together
No. We dominated possession and the flow of the game. We were once again poor in the final third and the players and management need to resolve that.
...
Just been allowed out of the ground, cnuts

Were letting City fans go down to the bogs one at a time cnuts

Keeping us in the coach park now cnuts

Letting the rags get away with bookings from minute 1 cnuts

Allowing an offside goal (or do I’m told) cnuts

Spreading his arms every time we were fouled, ****

Didn’t sing once til they scored, cnuts
 
Just think about how confident they were that they’d win the league. Pep even gave two extremely good players to Arsenal as he thought they’d need them to try to get top 4.
 
Not sure if No Idea caught this one

We could win the octuple wile winning every single game without conceding any goals and they still find a way to slap us off.
 
The amount of plastics in there 'done' with football, refusing to watch another game this season. Pathetic bunch.

The only started following a few years ago so not a big deal to them. Will probably be Newcastle fans in a year or two.

First Chelsea, then City, next Newcastle until they come back to United ultimately. We're not Brexit enough for them though so maybe Burnley instead.
 
The irony of one of them saying you cant do anything against corruption......

My first thought :lol:

Also love having a player our rivals hate again. I'm sure they hate all of them, but Bruno is the stand out.
 
Sometimes you’ve got to hold your hands up and admit that we got completely shafted by corruption , just like Wolves at Anfield.
...
They look like they will be in contention. unfortunately.

Pep, with his recruitment and tactics, has tried to fix something that wasn't broken and then broke it.
Hahaha not a chance they’re winning the league.
They can win it if offside rule is not applied to them.
people were saying there wasn't a chance Arsenal would finish top at Christmas...
Those people will be saying it as they're on the bus parade
They have their new signing Howard Webb
They are 1 point behind us, and haven't lost since the season restarted. So they are in this title race.
...
Pep and his coaching staff. They're the reason for the good we've had and they're the reason for the shit boring football we play now. You can't acknowledge one and ignore the other.
This has a worrying sense of the end of the cycle under pep possibly? The players just aren’t there imo and if this form continues over the next couple of league games we are in a fight for top 4 let alone a title race.
That’s my worry, it’s gets too bad and Pep thinks I don’t need this and fecks off
...
It was offside, the world see that. The referees need investigating and thats it. United fans can even see its fecking offside!
Are we the real Inhalers FC??
Nope , still your scummy club
...
A bit stunned. Performance was fine. Then VAR decided to ignore the offside rule. We'll bounce back.
I don’t think the performance was fine. First half was just as bad as Wednesday night. Second half was ok against a wank United side, but still miles off of anything like our standards.
If we had scored that offside goal not a chance in hell it would have stood. They are now cheating in full view, credit to Pep and the team for the last few seasons of success whilst dealing with it, but they have increased it a level and we can’t compete with that.
Remember it’s not good for the PL brand if the same team wins every season.
This is the measure of the situation.
100% doesn't stand at the other end.
...
Let’s see if we get one of these infamous apologies from the FA. I doubt it
...
I even thin Rashford does flick the ball with the slightest touch
There's an angle where the ball moves but Bt never showed that one again.
...

What the feck has happened to our team. Totally dysfunctional in generating chances.
They don't seem to give a feck that's the problem
...

Cant wait for more of the exact same on thursday.

Yep, nailed on playing another of the Sky 4 who only show up for 3 or 4 games every season.
...
We're all angry and disappointed, apoplectic even.

There's plenty of points on offer. We now have to knuckle down and move forward.
Hoping someone tells the team that because they are fecking useless at the mo :(
...
I think worse than losing is the media wank fest. United are back, title contenders etc etc.. literary everything we did in the past 10yrs ds will be wiped away and forgotten if they even get close to the title
Not by me.
...
Goal has a article that says “Haaland you bow to rashford today” ffs I am done
Is that like winning a second half?
...
If United beat Arsenal We need to throw the two Arsenal games, I take the wafer cup if it stops them winning the title, but I’m very bitter
We don't need to throw 2 games we're already throwing a season.
Losing twice to Arsenal certainly won't help us get top 4
...
go enjoy your we beat City trophy (by cheating) raggy :)
...
Arsenal will destroy us this season. Utd are shit & struggled to do anything
I see a lot of 'eggs in the CL basket' talk. Leipzig is wayy better than the teams we're currently dropping points to.
...
Erik ten Hag on Bruno Fernandes' goal: "I would be unhappy if I conceded a goal like that because it brings hesitation - it's a grey area. Also for the referee, a really difficult situation to judge."
Even he knows
Credit to him for saying that
...
Even at redcafe most think Rashford was interfering with play...
Worst mistake by a referee all season. Corrupt as feck.
 
Might need another beer..
IT'S GOT TO STOP (CHEATING)

enough is enough now, time to call it out by the club, pep should have taken the players off the field and walked down the tunnel, UNTIL SOMEBODY TAKES A STAND the cheats will just keep doing it,

what would have happened if we walked off ? OK you lose the game, but we lost the game anyway, fines ? well, how can you give somebody a fine for being right ? that goal is offside no matter how you dress it up. plain and simple OFFSIDE, because Rashford went for the ball, even danced his legs a couple of times ? if he stopped running, OK, but he didn't stop and was going to shoot so again offside.

WALK OFF CALL THEM OUT PUT A STOP TO IT
This.
Our board are spinless and cowards. After all the FFP fiasco you would think the Club would learn something from that organized attack, no they're taking the passive approach again, always on the defensive.
Soriano ...It's not on Pep to point the obvious.
IM STILL FUMING!
All Soriano does is increase ticket prices and sign the next Far Eastern Crypto partner.
 
St pep crying again, we can't win cardboard Cup can't win the league. And we know where we play ! Wtf is the guy on about had a 20 minute patch and scored There big ugly striker was out done by Shaw!!! How did that happen. Then they bring the dearest fall over player in History.

Pep was same coaning cnut at Barca when they didn't win or were struggling, it won't last got way to many good players. A battle has Bern won the war is still on going , but UTD have improve there artillery.
 
I love it when Pep's no longer looking smug and condescending.

No wait, I REALLY LOVE IT
 
The meltdown over the Fernandes goal is amazing. I get that it’s a controversial decision that could’ve gone either way (I’d probably be annoyed to both concede it, and have it ruled out) but at the end of the day, the player who scored the goal is miles onside…. The idea it’s the “worst decision” of the season is mad. They’re taking it so badly :lol:

The issue is that the player onside would never be scoring from that position without Rashford's impact on the situation. Should not go either way at all, clear offside. But all in all the result was more than fair, and the difference in how the two teams are coached that used to be huge is a lot smaller, full credit to your very own Pep Guardiola is my idol.

But even though most of the posters on that forum is lunatics, I dont really blame them for focusing on the Bruno goal, it is a hard one to look past. Our issues at the moment is deeper though even though I am not worried, they will be rectified with time. We need to learn to create better for Haaland in the big games, outside of KdB and Cancelo our team seems to be vaccinated from trying the ball over the top at times

Just because its Utd, everyone is losing their mind. This would be given for any team.

These types of goals should not be given but this is what happens when you come up with dubious rules.
