Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Funny that, I also know a bloke who's a lifelong, die-hard City fan, even when they were shite he never stopped flying the flag for them. Also has the hallmarks of a typical City supporter (not too bright, psychotic tendencies, no sense of humour). Never once heard him mention a conspiracy against his team by the FA or media though.
And then there's the cretin I know who always maintained he didn't really support any one team, but came crawling out of the woodwork and bought his first football top as soon as the weather was looking fair for City. Always banging on about biased refs. Makes a big thing about the "history" of the club and posts memorials on FB when a virtually unknown former player passes away, which nobody interacts with. Then acts sad about it in the pub, despite having no idea who the deceased bloke was earlier that morning.
I did notice it was mentioned on MOTD i wondered whether pizza was involved
They were quite happy with this loophole, two faced twats.
Exactly. I remember the one in the 2017 FA Cup final between Chelsea and Arsenal, where Alexis Sanchez scored around Ramsay who was offside. It was given for the same reason.
If you start basing offside around how anyone in an offside position could be influencing play, you just go back to the situation in the 90s.
If Akanji is so confident that Rashford is offside, maybe he should have checked his left shoulder and tried to see if there was another United player onside who would go on to influence play. Effectively what City's doing is blaming the referee for their poor decisions.
You play the game to the whistle. Just because the player in front of you offside it doesn't mean that you have nobody else to defend. If Akanji just scans after seeing Rashford is offside he can easily move to block Bruno's run. He's blaming the referee for switching off when, really, its on him.
Rashford didn't touch the ball to be ruled offside.
And by the rules of the game, he didn't didn't interfere with play. (Didn't block the keepers line of sight or stop Akanji from intercepting the ball)
Akanji was focused on Rashford, because he thought he'd played him offside by stepping up. Bruno was onside.
People are now saying that by the rules of the game, the goal should stand, but not morally.
So by the same token, is it moral for defenders to step up and play the offside trap? It's all the same thing, trying to trick the opposition. They are just sore because Bruno outsmarted them within the laws of the game.

Been saying this for years. Remove City and Ole has at least one league title
I think the win would have been far less enjoyable if it hadn't come with a jammy goal. feck City and their high horse riding hypocrite of a manager.
Sounds like the same bloke. The guy I knew was buying player autobiographies of former players and trying to get me to read them.
I would tell him I don't need to read them as I actually know who the player was and saw him play unlike you
It's not as though City fans have any concept of hypocrisy. They still cry about the 'bus incident' while having a huge blindspot on their own behaviour of the West Ham bus they absolutely battered.
Now they're crying about loopholes that go against them.
Well well well, how interesting
Gary said City will end first, United second, Arsenal third...

I love reading some of their made up stories about encounters with United fans 
Coming up next on 'Things That Didn't Happen', we'll hear a City fan's tale about how a United fan approached him in Tesco being all smug about the 2-1 win. Needless to say, the City fan put him in his place by reminding him that City's net spend last summer was significantly lower than United's net spend... the United fan was then left gobsmacked as the City fan did 3 celebratory backflips and promptly left Tesco whilst receiving a round of applause from the entire supermarket.

"Met this Rag at the bus stop this morning, he was wearing a full zebra kit, despite it snowing in Stockport. Had a big grin on face when he saw my City hat. I enquired if he had something to say. Turned out he wasn't even from Manchester, the cockney cnut. He said, "Manchester is red." I asked him if he could find Manchester on a map, and all the people at the bus stop starting laughing, then the bus came and he stepped into a massive puddle, and his zebra shorts fell down and everyone cheered, including the bus driver who drove off without letting him get on. Proper made my day it did."

All Pep has to do is tell them to pass the bloody ball to him, City failed to pass to him numerous times when pretty much every other team in the PL would have tried, he could have been 1 on 1 with De Gea 7-8 times with relatively simple passes
Not that simple, we were cutting off the passes, not allowing them the time to play risky balls and lose possession. Pep is all about possession, which is why they had to turn back and re-start the move using the back 4. Ten Hag did his homework and targeted their creative players, and smothering any potential attacks. Other managers will be taking note of this blueprint, because he has shown the rest of the PL how to set up against City.
Let's hope so, managers of other teams don't seem to be willing to try against City in general so.
Uncanny
"I was in the gym, benchpressing 100kg as I always do, when some Rag walked over, tapped me on the shoulder and tried explaining to me that Rashford actually wasn't interfering with play. He thought he'd won the argument and walked over to the rowing machine to start his workout. Shortly afterwards, I started distracting him by jumping over the rowing machine, he took his earphones out and asked me 'what the hell are you doing?!'... I quipped back with: 'judging by your logic mate, I'm not interfering with what you're doing'. A group of guys around us burst into laughter and patted me on the back. 5 minutes later, the Rag left the gym out of embarrassment".
"Was driving the fork lift at work, and the shift leader who is an armchair rag, put up this big MUFC flag up at the office window. He's never been to a match in his life, dunt even come from Manchester. He's from Warrington, near London. He was giving it the Billy Big Bollix in the canteen. He chirped up, "Have they found Haaland yet, he's been missing since Saturday." Quick as a flash I said, "How the fcuk would you know? The last time you set foot inside Old Trafford, Remi Moses was ankle deep in a swamp. And Martin Edwards was peeping under toilet cubicles." Everyone in the canteen cheered and he sloped off back to his office with his tail between his legs. Haven't seen him since."
At this point it's not too far from what's posted there.
They seem to have less respect for their players than we do for theirs. Reminds me of some posters in redcafe during our glory days - who'd foul mouth our players at every bad result. Corrupt with success aren't they?
The fake stories are hilarious, even funnier than the songs they come up with at RAWK.
Also the gall of them to call us plastics

Have to love a still picture with no context of how fast the ball is moving and in what direction

Hahaha! These are brilliant - like stories 12 year olds tell each other to feel good about themselves.
As some has said, funny thing is these are not that far fetched from this scripted fantasies
I'm getting Facebook ads about how they still have tickets available for their home match against Spurs

"Left my house that's under the Hacienda, because I'm more Manc than anyone else, when some rag cnut came up to me for no reason and started saying 'hlebhlehehelelhehebe' and waving his arms in the air and dancing around wearing his rag shirt. I told him that at least we're not going to be some rich old man's plaything and showed him my tattoo of Mike Summerbee. He didn't know what to say to that so his head fell off, the stupid prick, then his wife started trying and begging me for a shag so we did it five times on top of his corpse as his stupid rag cnut son cried into his sippy cup."
"LOOOOOOL they don't like it when you tell them the truth."

Who am I kidding. City's not Rome.The Edomite Empire is burning.
The story has to follow a certain criteria. The setting needs to be a really mundane, working class existence. For example...Gorton market, A bookies in Collyhurst or a factory in Audenshaw. The main protagonist is always just going about their own business, when they are suddenly confronted by an arm chair rag, in a full United kit. The rag blurts out a faux pas of cataclysmic proportions, and is suddenly put back into their place with hilarious consequences and with the full support of any other people who happen to be nearby. The altercation significantly improves their day.
"I was at the butchers, in Crumpsall, and this rag tw** was giving it the billy big bollix in his rag top. He's never been to a game in his life. The cockney cnut mouthed off that, "21 was coming", so I told him that ,"The only number 21 he's ever gonna see, is if he waits at the bus depo across the road! Should have seen his face, then he dropped his sausages and everyone cheered. I just walked down the street laughing to myself. Like a king."

Definitely makes it easier for Ederson to simply come and collect it!

You mean the ones that are all sold out?
If this is genuinely the interpretation of the rule, then frankly, the rule is wrong. How does "blocking" the line of sight of the goalkeeper NOT include a goalkeeper's positioning (and footwork) being affected by the offside player who looks like he's about to strike the ball? This needs reforming or it just looks like the guys making and applying the rules (the FA and the refs) dont understand football. Anyone who plays football will tell you that Rashford has an impact on the defenders and goalkeepers for the points I just made above; Bruno doesn't score that goal if Rashfords not offside basically.Just watched a ref on TV explaining the definition of interfering with play.
* Blocking the line of site of the goalkeeper.
* Physical contact with an opposition player (whilst not touching the ball)
Rashford did neither of those things. He didn't touch the defenders or the ball, and when Bruno struck the shot, Rashford was behind him, so Ederson had a clear line of sight. Neither of those defenders were able to stop the ball reaching Bruno, as they had moved up to play the offside trap. So regardless of who they were tracking, they weren't getting to that ball before Bruno hit it. Walker actually realised that Rashford hadn't touched it, which is why he is desperately trying to block the shot.
