This is my shocked face that Michael Oliver has been involved in yet another controversial decision that benefitted Man City. But I am glad to see that the UAE can still afford to keep him on retainer, what with the war and all.

The worst part is they said they wanted VAR to intervene less.

The on field call was offside and no goal. VAR intervened to change the on field decision and award the goal.

Why would they contact man u about that? They going to give Bruno a retro red?


I believe that's in reference to the goal not being ruled offside.

I find this hilarious especially considering the manu goal with rashford and Bruno a couple years ago.

I give exactly zero fricks. You had 70 minutes against a 10 man City with a brand new midfield and created dick. The whole match says way more about them than it does City.


I missed the game so I went back to see what the discussion was about. My points on the Foden/Bruno situation remain the same - frick Bruno.

On the goal, it was very similar to the incident you mentioned a year or two ago. Yes, Enzo did impact the play and the goal probably shouldn't have stood. However, frick ManU it was payback for when a very similar situation happened and they won because of it.

Oh, well whatever goal obviously shouldn't have counted but frick Bruno then, now, and forever and justice was served.

The state of this leagues officiating is atrocious. Clubs just need to start not playing the games to force a fix for this. It happens over and over again. "Forgetting to draw lines" "Not drawing lines correctly" "Tunnel vision", the Jared Gillett thing a few years ago, the Mike Dean stuff that has been making the rounds. It's just unacceptable for a league the makes as much money as they do to continue running this slop out year after year
