It was only clearly offside once we watched the sky footage. It wasn't clearly offside from the linesman's perspective, otherwise he'd have given it. And, from memory, I can sympathise with him as he was only marginally offside, not like it was by miles?

The Lino is right online he’s got the best view in the ground.
If he can’t see that’s offside then he should not be in that job.
He has been order to keep his flag down for close ones but that was offside to any decent Lino.
You have a different view that’s fine.

Every linesman that has ever lived, I am in no doubt, have made wrong offside calls either way. The job isn't as easy as you think it is, and with that opinion no linesman should be allowed to work again. If he was miles offside, then you can start to wonder how such a mistake was made. But he wasn't.

And, the fact they are ordered to keep flag down for close ones is irrelevant, because as I said before, he'd have put it up after the shot if he thought it was offside anyway

Means nothing now getting the ball.
More embarrassing was the Leeds fans abusing the lad as he hobbled off .

I know. It hasn’t meant anything for over 29 years. I’ve said the same myself many times on here. It was rather tongue in cheek.

Name one at of fans who don’t boo the opposition at every opportunity.
 
What is Pogba going to bring to City apart from a huge wage bill, divisive attitude and a performance once in a blue moon when he fancies it. City are well out of getting him and think it is a bad idea. Let him go abroad somewhere to a club likely to win a title anyway and phone it in as he wants

Indeed, while the possibility of 4 titles exists, the possibility of 0 does too! It would be a shame and I don't think it'll happen (FA Cup being the most likely imo) but I'd quietly chuckle a bit if it did - purely because of the amount of hype that's been spouted by so many!
Does it seem to anyone else that all the wowing has been about Liverpool and City have quietly and relentlessly gone about their business (FA SF apart). That particular game was the (Club) match of the season (decade even) for me.

Erm, we've already won the league cup, so nil isnt a possibility.

I think pep's one man hype machine for City means they arent that quiet.
