If it was ruled out for offside why did MOTD (Shearer) have a 5 minute rant on 'it should have been a penalty'?

This is what I don’t understand. The referee gave offiside, he holds his left arm up and points across the back line with his right hand. If I’m not mistaken you bid is the signal for offside. So why is everyone moaning about a pen that wasn’t a pen because a player was offside in the build up

No mention of offside in any of the press reports that I have seen.

Because it's City and there is an agenda.

With offside there isn't a story to tell, they would have needed to find another story/angle otherwise so it is easier to ignore the offside, simple as that.

It was Pep's verdict post match (with a grin and without VAR ) - I've just gone to the trouble of providing the world with my own homemade screenshot to show Richarlisson was clearly offside in the build up leading to Eddy's save.

Doesn't fit the "downtrodden scousers" narrative.

Glad to see you have fucking cheered up .

And that is a great example of why I don't read or watch the mainstream sports' media.

Its a non story that they have manufactured into an issue that suits their agenda to slag of City and big up the 'always the victim...never their fault' dippers.

The only issue for me is that; no matter what they say, we got all three points and still sit pretty right at the top of the Prem.
And in truth, that is the only thing that really does matter.
And no agenda ridden twat in this world is gonna spoil it for me.

I agree. Here’s my favourite post of his -

City64, You raised the issue about taxi fares and accents, I merely asked for you to use your expertise and clarify an issue for practical purposes.
You are right about me being a cunt but for the wrong reasons.

Not sure if it is protocol to add a smiley here.

Anyway, back on topic, do you by any chance; take recreational drugs, fix games, are you gay or racist?
Are you, or were you ever,a professional footballer?

jus asking

My shitty homemade screenshot shows what I think the ref actually gave. He was desperate for a break in play ASAP so he could stand around with his finger in his ear gesturing at players to go away for a couple of minutes, and lino obliged with a dubious offside. Then VAR decided (debatably) that it wasn’t handball, so they didn’t bother going back to check whether Richarlison was offside earlier, and just restarted play from the offside he actually gave. Could have done with someone explaining all that at time time though - they know what scousers are like

Not sure I remember that post nor the context that surrounded it.
Also not sure I remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, nor where I put my glasses and cigs.
But if I owe an apology...I apologise.
It did make me chuckle though.

Back on topic....Normal service resumed
1) We win and get another three points. It's what we do.
2) The Scousers are given another chance to moan and cry. It's what they do.
3) The media make a big issue about a non story that involves something negative about City. It's what they do.
4) The referee and those in charge of them make a bollocks of the whole thing and fail to clarify anything. It's what they do.
AND....
5) My glasses have gone missing, It's what they do.

All is normal in this abnormal World...time to move on and have a brew

Fucking Hell, PIGMOL call Lampard & Kenwright to apologise over handball..............

From the Beeb..............

Everton have received an apology from the head of the professional referees body Mike Riley after they were denied a penalty in the 1-0 defeat by Manchester City on Saturday.

The Toffees wrote to the Premier League to complain about the decision when Manchester City midfielder Rodri seemed to use his arm to control the ball.

Neither referee Paul Tierney nor video assistant referee Chris Kavanagh deemed it was worthy of a spot-kick despite complaints from fans and Everton boss Frank Lampard.

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) boss Riley called both Lampard and Everton chairman Bill Kenwright on Monday to apologise for the incident, which could prove costly to the club's bid to stay in the Premier League.

Everton are 17th in the table, one place and one point above Burnley, who host Leicester in the Premier League on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

Kavanagh will be the referee for that match.

"We've lost a point because of a professional who cannot do his job right. It is so incompetent to get it wrong," Lampard said following the game at Goodison Park.
