I thought that was a brilliant win. What a time to be a City fan. 14 wins in a row if we ignore losing to the barcodes

Bad and all as it looked at times, I’ll second that.
Coming out with a win from 2-1 down showed character. That galvanizes a team that looks to be coming good at the right time.

Anyone got a video of Ederson caving their heads in at the end?

Var is fucking shit. There I’ve said it.

Peter the BT ref can go and fuck off. All agree the guy was offside. Apparently that's not an offense until you hit the ball now.

Both pens extremely harsh

[Beefymcfc]

Fuck me, I'm down in Essex and can still hear the Rags and Dippers crying!

Love the thought of all those haters throwing the remote at the stolen telly!

Not that far from London though Beefy

Whoops, forgot, most of 'em are Southern Rags anyway

Walton, the scouse ref pundit, saying the guy who Fernandinho fouled wasn’t interfering with play so the offside, which he was, doesn’t count.

Not interfering with play? He won the fucking penalty. Where do they find these idiots from

Depends on the team playing. If that's a team in red then both would have been ruled out

[iwasthere2012]

Having looked st the two penalties and listening to Walton’s explanations and I’m actually more confused now.

I can understand the first one being given but for the second he says he was offside but hadn’t be given the chance to interfere with play before he was fouled so it’s a penalty.

That’s just bullshit.
Zuricity. I take it back about that one.

The other thing about the first is Otter was booked without the ref seeing a replay.
He then got sent off for being thick later.

That first yellow is dubious st best.

CL always throws up these weird justifications for weirdness in our games does it.

A bin in Liverpool

Zinchenko Laporte Stones if fit Kompany if not Walker . Ferna DSilva B Silva Sane Sergio Sterling. Should be good for the Cup in Sunday! Shocking to bench Kevin but play him against the Hammers. Form is temporary class permanent.

[Bluemoon4610]

Just listening to ex-PL ref Peter Walton on BT saying both pens were correct decisions, even though Rio, Hargreaves and Lescott disagree. Apparently, trying to get your hand out of the way with less than a second of reaction time is deliberate hand ball, and being off side when a free kick comes into the box and moving towards the ball is ok, as you've not touched it yet so the 1st offence is Fern's. Stupid twat! Must still be getting paid by Pigmol.

I always seem to get stick for my criticism of sterling. If anyone wants to go back to about the 68th minute will tell you why i dislike him. The ball was played up to him, lost it in a one on one, his man came away with the ball and sterling made the laziest chase back ever

what a fucking idiot.

And what a result given the circumstances

Be careful who you go around calling an idiot, you'll get a well deserved smack some day or maybe you are one of these pussies who only do it behind a keyboard

[zuricity]

Fantastic comeback. That strike made it possible.

That said, we can't win this. We will not be allowed to do it. Schalke scored two goals today and got a player sent off for doing nothing for 90 minutes. The penalties were correct, but the VAR screen not working at this level is beyond anything.

Stop please ! The penalties were not correct. The referee was awful . He should have carded several Schalke players .

You are very wrong .

Yes, it has been proven. We can win this Three good ,well worked goals tonight and many close calls . So i disagree with you completely. You are very wrong in your opinion.

Pep is fuming. His comments are basically saying we are getting fucked by the officials

Hopefully he'll come out and say "I was wrong, keep booing!"

[Bluemoon4610]

And he is correct. Needs someone high up in the club to call the cunts out on it - what more can they do that they're not already trying to do?

lol fly over to DC and say hello ya big stiff idiot. You can't get much dumber than threatening anonymous people over the internet

Would have loved to listen to that, had a dodgy stream so not worth the time.

Good to see he's calling them out though. Won't make a difference but it makes me feel better.
