I'd pay good money for someone to go and headbutt that doylem Walton 

If a referee scored a goal Walton would still find a way to try and justify it

Insane strike that

Very early but don't like how much space Salah has when the ball is on the opposite side, in a flash the ball gets across

Gonna get pasted here like, they might go a little easy on us cos they have an away game on Sunday but even 2nd gear will be enough for a 4/5-0

We didn't have a choice with Ba. Cabaye we really should have got a lot more from than what we got. Set us back so much that sale man.

The Carroll sale was worse though, because it was the symbol of what the club had become. The club forced him to put in a transfer request to get the money for him ffs. 

Ba had that release clause but only because we structured his wages so it was based on playing

That was Ashley doing what Ashley does best, thinking he could save a few quid in the short term but we allowed a £20m+ player go for way less

Comes under the fair comparison regs I think I saw a previous poster say. 

Is that definite? 

Not sure how a friendly tournament can be covered? 

I mean even if it is then what's to stop us selling a player to a Saudi club for a daft price? They can't regulate the fees clubs pay for players

If the owners want to then there will be creative ways around it

This is the bit that I'm still not fully understanding. In the hypothetical scenario above, can the PL stop the funds being paid into the club's bank account if it doesn't agree with the sponsorship deal? Pretty sure that isn't legal.

 

Surely they only have jurisdiction in respect of what the club spends its money on, and by definition that is an argument that can only be had months down the line once the financial statements have been drawn up?

They won't be able to stop the funds is my understanding but when it comes to the FFP calculation, they'll only include the amount they deem to be "fair"

Nah, it's all good 

Have they ballsed it up again?

Fair enough but I still think it's ruined the game.  Takes away far more than it gives - Championships and Relegations are now being decided by some dude in front of a TV screen.

I think it could help by removing the benefit of the doubt going to the ref

They basically look for every reason to justify why the ref gave it even if it's wrong 

Just now, duo said:

But in that case it was the right decision to give it

I agree but I'm saying if we ditch VAR like some want then we lose out in that situation 

But on the flip side we don't get that penalty against Norwich without VAR getting involved

The thing is getting rid of VAR doesn't change that decision, the refs given that so we'd still be rightly pissed off

Why VAR didn't overturn it is beyond me 

If offered a point would you take it?

That spell under Rafa he was good like but whether that was a purple patch, the injury ruined him or no Rafa did, ultimately since he's been shocking

Absurd decision but not gonna complain 

Hopefully Man-U can beat Norwich

Not so sure tbh. I feel like refs give more decisions these days in the knowledge that if it’s a total fuck up, VAR will change it. 

 

Regardless, without VAR I would have been able to accept the referee had just got it wrong in normal time and we didn’t have to stop the game for three minutes to watch endless replays for the same outcome.

Tbf in normal time I thought it was a pen cos of how his arm was up 

That's a sitter from Grealish

No other team would get this fucking call.

They would like

But also in the first half City didn't get a pen which was far more likely a pen 

It's just shit refereeing

Ridiculous refereeing

Though City will argue the one in the first half was

Think it will get overturned

Yet Moss didn't give the one earlier which VAR didn't get involved with

So the ref gives a pen for handball
