Erikse Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I know we hate Liverpool, but how can these decisions keep going Man Citys way? Is it really just pure coincidence? If someone made a statistic from the last few season, I'm sure that whenever VAR/referee got it wrong in a City game, 90% of the time the decision went Man Citys way. While their rivals for 1st often gets these decisions against them. Edited March 10 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those that looks like a foul/penalty if you just look at the still image of the contact, but when you see it as a whole and the way Doku has gone in for it I think the right decsion was made at the time. 8 hours ago, Erikse said: I know we hate Liverpool, but how can these decisions keep going Man Citys way?

Froggy Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 A clear penalty. Most importantly to begin, Mac Allister played the ball first. Under the rules though, it's a foul at any point if you play the ball but in doing so can risk injury to your opponent. Even if they feel the need to back out of the challenge because of an injury risk, that's considered a foul under law 12. That's why it almost always results in a free when the foot is above waist height. The natural movement here wasn't even to kick the ball away, it was to lead forward and head it. If that was given against Newcastle or us we would be screaming bloody murder and rightly so. Even if it's a natural movement, look at how high his foot is. You can't kick people in the chest and saying "he ran into his foot" is one of the weakest arguments I've ever heard. Studs shouldn't be hanging around at chest height to be ran into, especially in 50/50 challenges. A lot of anti-Liverpool bias on show here I feel. A stonewall pen.

The ball hits of Mac Allisters chest first and on to Doku's foot, which is already planted into Mac Allister's chest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, and a think a lot of people on here will feel the same, absolutely do not apologize about that For me, mistakes happen all the time, its annoying and really frustrating when it goes against you, but every team gets the benefit of decisions from time to time, hell last week Liverpool got a massive slice of luck from the officials for something that was way more egregious then the Doku challenge. I think the Doku challenge is a penalty for whats its worth, but its not a stonewaller, an absolute, a dead cert, I can see how someone looks at that and thinks its not a pen, as Doku did get the ball. The sport is subjective at the end of the day, and i'm not going to cry about a decision for a team I don't support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Clear and obvious error? No. Go with the on-pitch decision. Had it been given, shouldn't have been reversed. People don't want VAR overly involved until the ref makes a decision they don't like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that every club gets decisions like this against them, but somehow Man City almost never do. The fact that it was accidental doesn't matter all that much, accidental penalties are made all the time. It was dangerous play.

Tiresias Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Definitely a foul anywhere else on the pitch, though how many dodgy decisions have they got over the season at anfield, feels hard to have any sympathy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Vinegar Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The Doku challenge may or may not be a penalty by the rules, but I couldn't help feeling when watching it back that I'd much rather see a penalty given for things like that than for the barely perceptible graze of a knuckle of a defender jumping to head the ball. Was it the Luton Sheffield United game where two pens were given for the crime of a defenders finger skin cells molesting the pristine leather of the match ball? Can't quite remember but those pens being given make it seem laughable for Doku not to be reprimanded for dropkicking an opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
