Nottingham Forest - Manchester City

[Reds73]

What was going on between Pep and Milenkovic at full time?

It was very animated and not cordial.

It was cordial.
Pep was hugging him, I think it was a case of respect Pep has for him

[Reds73]

Can anyone explain why Dias didn’t get a second yellow at the start of the 2nd half ?
Foul was given, and it stopped a very good opportunity

Absolutely nailed on yellow card

[ozzyten10]

Because Rob Jones is a biased twat

MOTD shows a clear dive by MGW for the city winner

Rooney agreed Diaz should had second yellow

[ozzyten10]

It wasn’t a clear dive but made me look at it differently - annoyed more than anything else - MGW possibly at fault for both goals - let Reijnders run off the back of him for the first. No excuse for second yellow and the numerous unpunished tactical fouls though.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I thought the result was cruel.

We went toe to toe with them and a draw would have been a fair result.

How Rob Jones could send off Boly for a non contact foul last season but not send off Dias yesterday only he knows.

He needs investiagting but of course it won't happen.

The boys can be proud of their performance and hold their heads up high.

O’Reilly is 6’4”. 
Anyone who has played at half a decent level in the modern game knows (or is actually coached) that locking an arm is a way of stopping a taller player jumping, which morgan needed to do to protect any near post flick on. Locking a leg is a new one on me, especially as it makes it easier to be pushed over as he was, but still he was pushed over and imo was still a foul. 
To suggest Morgan fouled oreilly (I think it might have been Joe Hart on TNT, can’t remember) is ludicrous.

The problem is there are several fouls committed in the penalty box at every corner in every match. 
Murillo’s shirt wasn’t ripped as a result of friendly jostling.
The rules need changing or clarifying or else this farce will continue.

Deliberately locking your leg to get yourself tripped up in a defensive situation is a new one on me. I would say that’s pretty impossible especially in real time speed. If you slow stuff down to the nth degree you will spot something in every play. Surely ex Man City player Joe Hart wouldn’t have suggested no foul?
My take on it is annoying but I would prefer VAR scrapped regardless and in a non VAR world the goal probably stands.
Far more annoying was Dias’s 2nd yellow and the half dozen fouls by Gvardiol that went unpunished.

Whilst that’s true the reality is we’ve managed to turn our last two games we should have drawn into 2 losses. 
Over the last 180 mins of football who’s played better? Fulham or us ? 
I’m willing to bet it’s us, yet here we sit with zero points and they sit with 6. 
Unlucky? Fine margins? I don’t know, but that was us last season. 
When we appointed Sean I at least thought we were going to get outstanding game management. 
We haven’t shown that in the last 2 games and it’s cost us. 
Moan about refs all you like but over the season it’s on us. 
If you’re going to disallow City’s second goal, might as well disallow pretty much every goal scored from a corner.

Rob Jones, coming off at half and full time, stuck his nose in the air. An utter arrogant prick.

It was also Wayne Rooney on MOTD. MGW initiates contact to stop him jumping that's fine, he then tucks his leg to essentially drag him down and win a foul. 

That's 2 ex players and VAR saying it

That’s two ex players with agendas.
Where - anywhere and by anybody in the media- has it been said that MGW locked his leg in to drag him down and win a foul?

The answer is nowhere because that’s not what MGW did. He was using his arm to stop the jump and both arm and leg to stop O’Reilly pushing-off from him to get half a yard of space to flick on at the near post.
Any other interpretation is disingenuous and simply wrong.

In a world where fouls simply aren’t given at corners, to imply Morgan did it to win one is beyond belief.
