Grealish left the Etihad on crutches apparently.

Both are right as VAR is the person not the technology, so a member of PGMOL is also the VAR.

Where has this come from?

Ah fuck.

Took a whack on his calf, hopefully just minor.

BBC now saying that the Premier League accreditation committee have awarded their second goal to Silva which of course means that Sterling was offside so the goal shouldn't have stood. You couldn't make this shit up.

Right, so logically the tech cannot be incorrect and the fault lies with the implementation of rules.

Several sources have quoted it, The Mail and BBC.

Which i'd imagine everyone agrees with, the VAR is the problem same as PGMOL are as they are the same thing. It can't be the technology as that's just replays.

I'd hope the authorities are reviewing how it's not working as well as it should, but i'm not holding my breath.

VAR technology is not the problem, it's the idiot refs (in this case John Moss) using it!
PL used the same technology to award the goal to Silva.

Feel we're at cross purposes a bit!

PGMOL will not give a crap about how poorly VAR has been implemented. No one questions them.

Plastic, soulless, empty twats with a sense of entitlement having forgot who they are and where they're from. Now they're just a smaller imitation of everything that's loathsome about the other lot in this cotton village.

From Blue Moon:

Crowd atmosphere again non-existent at home - hard to understand how 54k fans can make so little noise.

Villa supporters forgetting how empty their ground was when they were heading down a few seasons back.

Let's face it the whole matchday experience is now pretty crap, well in my opinion anyway. If you listen to a guy on Man city TV under the name of Danny, he makes a lot of good points about how we're slowly becoming like Utd with regards to having too many tourist fans on board, how many lads from Levenshulme, Gorton, Moss side now attend the Etihad, priced out etc. We are still a local club but we have lost so many Manchester based fans over the years, the ones who probably were very passionate about City and who would generate an atmosphere. The club should be trying to get them back, but they really don't give a fuck unless your pockets are lined with Gold.

At £51 a ticket, I can see why.

Fingers crossed. Although worryingly with Jack he doesn’t tend to get minor niggles.

I know the actual poster doesn’t agree with this from Blue Moon but I just have to say - the difference is Man City aren’t ‘heading down’. They are playing fantastic football at the top of the table and competing well in Europe. It’s a shame that they just seem bored with success, and not just a few, but actually MOST of their fans couldn’t be bothered to stay and applaud them off today. Ending games in a nearly empty stadium should be reserved for teams at the bottom end of the table.

Nonetheless - the complete nob by me that decided to have a major rant at Man City fans about their shit support and stir up everyone around us to a near riot should probably grow up a bit sometime soon. I could just about understand that behaviour from a teenager, but in your 50s it’s a bit tragic frankly.

It comes with the sense of entitlement of having won a few things and spent shitloads of dosh. To see their stadium punctuated with empty seats was either (i) sad, (ii) a reflection on us, the oppo, (iii) the early start and crap weather, or (iv) a combination of the other options.

There were a few around me that spent large parts of the second half riling up the Citeh fans just over the fence and waving their crooked hands in obscene gestures; calling them out from afar.
Sad form every perspective.
