The Aguero thing seemed to be about him not going off on the far side when City were chasing a goal. City had plenty of chances at 2-1 up and have only themselves to blame. They were dominant until Moura came on and scored; after that they were drab. Entirely their own fault they weren't winning long before the end, whatever about the ref and VAR. The decision was correct, whether you agree with the new laws or not. Even after the non-penalty incident in the first half, City still had a lead they couldn't hold on to. Entirely their own fault.

I didn’t see the game so can’t really comment much on it, just match of the day last night. Spurs only had a couple of shots and city dominated, so there isn’t much to worry about on that front.
I apologise if I was snappy Gaz

Video Assisted Replays.
Goals chalked off for a hand ball that lead to it, even if it wasn’t deliberate. We can’t complain. This is EXACTLY what we wanted after that Thierry Henry handball ten years ago. |

Hans has taken over the running of the logbook it seems. The English don't want VAR to intervene in "subjective" decisions, the so called "high bar" nonsense. So in the above case, they got what they wanted, the cherry picking VAR in operation, not the full VAR that everyone else in the world is obliged to respect and implement. The English just want VAR to rule on black and white scenarios. A VAR can only do what he is told. So if a forward handles the ball or is half an inch offside, it will be spotted, so a goal must and will be ruled out. That is not harsh, that is VAR doing what it's supposed to do. Cleaning the crap out of football.

But you certainly know what "intransigent" means. Anyhow, yesterday's decision was correct, as an interpretation of the new law. But the new law is appalling, in that it completely sacrifices fairness on the altar of certainty. And it's not even as if it's consistent, for the "infringement" yesterday for Jesus's goal would not have been an infringement if occurring in any other context in any other area of the field. And that's before you get to the general principle that for something to be an infringement, it has to be deliberate i.e. player collides with opponent entirely unintentionally: no foul; versus player knowingly clatters into opponent: foul. As a Spurs fan, I felt sorry for Man Cit..... Oh f**k that, Hell slap it into that baldy bastard and his entire team!

Nonsense. The Henry handball was entirely deliberate - he said so himself. Therefore you didn't need a rule change to see it ruled out, VAR would have done it. Or a half-competent set of officials. Still, you have to laugh... Edited by Territorial - 18 Aug 2019 at 2:48pm |

Thought Ederson's positioning was very poor for Spurs' first goal. He's about 7 yards out from his goal line when Lamela shoots from the edge of the box.

Agreed. His positioning was at fault for the goal

You might think that had he been lobbed. But surely advancing off your line helps with shots towards the corners by cutting down the angle? (Dunno if that's the right phrase, but you know what I mean) As it was, Lamela's shot wasn't even that close to the post. Seems to me it wasn't so much his positioning, as his footwork and reactions which were at fault. Either way, you might have expected better.

I'd agree, in a one-on-one type situation. But there were a few players between himself and the ball, making it harder to see. His sight (including reactions in this) of the ball, and his ability to move his feet to make the save, might have been helped if he was closer to his goal line.
