Fecking refs are doing everything they can to get City back into the title race

The race is over, but they can help get City to second now when Pool has won it.
Disgrace.. basically we re seeing these incidents in most matches. 2 weights 2 measures all the time.
I think there needs to be a cull. Far too many of them on here now. Why would you want to join a forum relating to your major rival? I don’t understand it.
If Kante shat on a new born baby Chelsea fans would call it art. No, you'll see some complete mess ups and horrid touches interwoven with stuff you'll see from most footballers down the park. It's odd how often i've had this conversation, how these 'one off' games keep happening. Keep those fingers in your ears pal. He's prime Pirlo.
Call them the Blades then, even shorter than Sheffield and will keep the grumpy old feckers like me happy!
"This bloke said to me, 'can you tell your availability to run a football team in Sheffield?'... I said,'I can't manage Wednesday'." ...
The Liverpool fans who have been here for many years have kinda earned a little leeway I think. Us long-standing "oppos" take a lot more shit than we give (and rightly so).
The newbie Scouse are clearly only here to gloat.
That's got to be a Tim Vine joke.
Apparently any midfielder who is worse than Pirlo on the ball is "shite"
6/10 on the wumming and strawman arguments. Mildly amused but you should try watching more football though. Might help you draw better conclusions. Cheers.
Wait the ref told them van Dijk was too far from the goal?
wtf
It is

The truth is. He is a Liverpool player so he is allowed to use the arm.
KDB
2-0
2-0
Not a great day, both Chelsea and City won. I guess we will have to wait for another stumble.
The reverse angle showed he didn't use his arm. The offside goal was a horrendous decision though.
you're talking about Lallana or VVD? Lallana's wasn't but VVD's looked quite clear
5th after 20 games. Good round of fixtures except for Chelsea
(I don't care about Liverpool)
(I don't care about Liverpool)
VVD. They showed a video of the reverse angle on NBCSN and it didn't touch his arm. The pictures circulating are intentionally misleading.
He is exactly what we're missing: unfussy, drives forward, dynamic,can shoot.
Isn’t Pogba supposed to be that for us?
Yeah I get that. Shall I reword that to newbie Liverpool fans needed to be culled. Better still go back to the old newbies system.
Bit mad to think that was Sheffield Uniteds first away defeat of the season.
First in a year.
He can but lacks the drive that KDB has. Infuriating really as Pogba is a far better athlete and can bamboozle players but how often do you see him run like that?
I know that
(thanks to @giorno best efforts) but its never shown on tv. Theres never been a point made that the move even gets that far solely thanks to VAR and the linesman guideline to keep their flag down on close decisions.
Id love a lineman having to signal as soon as he would have flagged. Being able to wait and breathe with no pressure is a lot different than what they had to deal with and their auto raising of flags pre VAR.
Hell we have VAR and theres been two instances of lineman raising their flags for offsides during Shff Utd matches and both being overruled. Its just human nature.
On veryrare occasions when linesmen ignore protocol. That muscle memory will pass.
Lets not forget, their great runs arent being unfairly flagged when they are onside and, despite all the crying and huffing, they are actually offside in these tight calls.
Thats more than a fair tradeoff. Hell every foul in the box is spotted now.
Do we just hate defenders?
Massive result for City beating a side who hadn't lost away from home at all in 2019
Also helps Liverpool inflict a 2nd away defeat in Sheffield United's next game

Old timers are here to stay hopefully, been reading the cafe since 2011, joined in Jan 2015. A great place for football and other things outside certain threads obviously. No doubt there’s going to be a lot signing up to gloat and some from RAWK.
Is there a Newbie system in place for new members joining?
As you can imagine, fuming. I would’ve accepted a 2-0 defeat away to the current champions normally but wow, I can’t believe what I have witnessed today. Comfortably in the game until *that* moment. Can’t celebrate goals now either as you’re always thinking ‘wait for var’. Gutted but proud of them blades, shows how far we have come. Next up: Anfield
You're replying to the wrong person. I've never said VAR is corrupt. I've said that they need to stop using it for micro offside decisions. There's been three this weekend, Norwich, Wolves and Sheffield United, which pre-VAR nobody would have looked at a replay of and said they were offside.
That's what needs addressing.
Apparently, hyperbole doesn't exist in your worldApparently any midfielder who is worse than Pirlo on the ball is "shite"

don't worry, it's a tough concept. Next week: sarcasm.You can carry on pretending Kante is good on the ball if that makes you feel better. I'll leave you to your fantasies.
Why don't they have accountability? They are named in the game and are held accountable for their decisions.
Held accountable in what way? What exactly are the consequences for making an arse of a decision? Cause it seems like there aren’t any, there’s no transparency in what goes on with referees and that’s partly the reason so many people are pissed off.

That goal was fecking shocking, just because the ref didn't touch the ball, if it had even grazed him the goal wouldn't have stood. That rule needs serious amending. Felt for you guys a little bit though we needed the win.
Makes no sense to me how they can decide to let it stand. This is supposed to be the best league there is. Top day out though just gutting that we could’ve come away with something.
