Seems they've given up on flagging for offside as well. Foden a good yard offside and not flagged until he put the ball in the net several seconds later. And then Rashford clearly offside but not flagged and ended with Stones sliding in to clear as Pogba slid in to challenge. Either one of them could have been hurt in that tackle. Should have been stopped much earlier. Someone is going to get hurt in a challenge after a clear offside that the linesman hasn't flagged for.

This is why VAR has helped to kill football at a game. When does a fan actually cheer for a goal. Rammel.

half hearted cheer when the goal goes in then a scream of HOLDDDDDDD as they review then another half hearted cheer if its still a goal???

as a late goals punter, VAR is not only soul destroying but very costly too!
 
Footballers really are pathetic. Foden just got tackled by Wan Bissaka and went down clutching his leg in pain. He then looked up to complain to the ref that he hadn't been given a free kick before going back to clutching his shin in pain.

I'd get Fraggered if I put what I really think about it.
 
I quite watching games that Atkinson refs as he doesn't give much.
Not sure I'd be as entertained if a team I supported was involved, but improves the game as a spectacle for those without prejudice.

Martial's shorts will need a boil wash tonight, the amount of times he has sadly fell on the floor, poor sod.

He's obviously got an inner ear infection that affects his balance. It's surprising how many professional footballers seem to have the same affliction. It's like the number of cyclists that suffer from asthma.
 
City were the best team tonight. Really impressed with Stones and Dias partnership at the back.

Actually not too displeased with the way we played though Missed Bailly at the back.
