Manchester City vs Aston Villa Match Thread

The game is either fucked or corrupt. Pick one.

t's corrupt in my view - VAR was meant to correct ropey decisions mad too often in favour of the Sky 6 but instead just corroborates them. I'm very close to giving up on it now.

So the two that hit hands in the City area were NOT penalties but the City one was.  That seems fair enough NOT

Jon Moss 2 - 0 Aston Villa.

What a thunderc**t.

Mings should do better but the fucker is a mile offside. And that is never ever a penalty.

[Drummond]

Stop blaming Mings, it was a fucking disgusting decision, Smith has been sent off for pointing it out.

No. Mings not controlling and keeping the ball led to that shitty decision. He is paid to be a defender and regularly fucks up. As he did here. I don't care how good he has been all game. He fucked up.

No it didn't. The referee and linesman made that shitty decision without any help from Mings.

[Smithy]

People will blame VAR, but ultimately, if Mings doesn't mess around there they don't even get the chance to score an offside goal.  It's the sort of thing that Jon Stones get slaughtered for.  Tyrone, unfortunately, has a habit of doing much the same.

I can accept the decision for Citeh's second goal but not the decision for the first Citeh goal.

[Exeter 77]

It was offside whether Mings mis-controls the ball or not because the player was moving towards the ball from an offside position.

[Des Little]

We need to be careful not to get any red cards after the game here.

[ChicagoLion]

Of course Mings should have done better but the point is that the ref should have blown as soon as the offside player became active.
It was cheating and I think Smith let him know

Utter bollocks, he controlled it and took his time fully in the knowledge that it was offside if the guy challenged him, if Moss wasn't a c**t who repeatedly gives horrendous decisions against us no one would be blaming Mings for taking his time when he should've had plenty of it. By blaming him, as many on here have, you just defend Moss.

I can accept the decision for Citeh's second goal but not the decision for the first Citeh goal.

That's my view.

VAR is a fucking farce.

[LeeB]

That fat ****** does us every time he takes a game of ours, the whole thing stinks

[Gerrin]

Blaming Mings for being tackled from behind by someone a mile offside is a bit off

Totally agree, Mings get such a hard time on here. He got challenged by a player coming from behind him, add to that the conditions and the pitch tonight. Give the guy a break.

[SoccerHQ]

Premier league claiming Mings chesting the ball played Rodri onside.

What a load of......
