94 minutes of competition undone by a total ref bait for a reward that is infinitely greater than the crime and a ref dumb enough to take it. Oh well, I guess it's never going to change

That wasn’t a competition - City dominated even with 10 men and had two goals called offside. Second offside was usual VAR garbage. Fulham only chance was that penalty.

Soft penalty at end sure but don’t act like Fulham deserved a result

The offsides, while tight and I don't really like VAR in situations like the second, were clearly the correct calls.

Another problem with soccer mentality. You don't "deserve" anything. If you dominate the ball and don't finish your chances that doesn't mean you deserve to win. It means you didn't take your chances, which is the entire point of the game.

This isn't some bitter post, if Chelsea isn't going to win the league (which they aren't) I'd much prefer City over any of the other contenders but it's just a crap unsporting way to end a match and it happens with frustrating regularity.

Yet, Citeh couldn't do the job without bringing on Haaland, and KdB flopping like a Spaniard. Previous to Saturday, I hadn't really seen him do that before, but then I don't follow City closely.

This was pretty much watching Arsenal in the latter Wenger years.

Completely dominate teams and some shite teams gets one shot one goal. And you tie or lose.
