Are you referring to that utter madness in Burnley? 

Take your pick - it’s shit. Should be abolished. Now.

The Burnley vs Bournmouth goal no goal back for a peno is as bad as I've seen. An absolute shambles. 

[Hugh Jass]

UEFA made Aguero miss that penalty.

Think there was an incident like that in the Nations League finals in Portugal last summer.

But it is bizarre really. I expected the first season of VAR would not run smoothly, and that it would have a few iffy weekends, but these are getting increasingly toxic and bad for the device's long-term future in the sport.

Look at the UEFA judgement. Not just the city press releases about the judgement 

UEFA have not released any details in regards to their judgement.

You have been adamant City are guilty and constantly said they have been proven to be so. When asked numerous times to back up your claims, you have failed to do so.

Now I have defended City vigorously but at least I can admit that I do not have a clue, I am just going off what the club has said. You are totally entrenched in your view and can't be impartial in your view. Now I am as blue eyed as you can get, a City fan for 40 years. I would have thought a fan with no connection to City or to their rivals could show some objectivity. Unfirtunately it seems you have been brainwashed by the idiots on Twitter like the Harris nuggets and Miguel Delaney.

It would be nice to see you back up your claims that City are definitely guilty.

Well because they were behaving like trump in being caught red handed and blaming the institution regulating them, biased journalists and shouting 'fake news'.

If you dont know but defend them 100% anyway, that's fine but makes you a fandamentalist!

 

And city haven't provided any evidence against the accusations accept say 'DIDNT DO IT'

There is absolutely nothing at all against FFP regulations that says the national governement of any nation can't fulfill the financial obligations of its national airline. Nothing, not a single thing.

Yes there is - the exact words are about funding from "related interests" - but that's not what City have been done for anyway. City have been done for telling porkies about their genuine income.

It does not matter where Etihad got its money as long as it did not originate from Sheikh Mansour.

not true. Read the UEFA FFP rules to see for yourself.

Do you think those highly respected judges who UEFA appointed to look at whether City broke UEFA's rules can't understand UEFA's rules?
(If you do, City won't get anywhere on appeal, because it'll be judges of the same calibre who'll hear an appeal  )

What part of that concept are you finding difficult to understand?

Show me what rules they have broken and how they have done it.

the rule they've broken is one about accurately declaring the sources of funding.

I reckon those emails say something different about the sources of funding than City had previously told UEFA, but without City showing us what they previously told UEFA neither you or I can can know the basis of UEFA's conclusions.

What we do know is that some of the most respected legal minds in the world looked into the details for UEFA and reached that conclusion for UEFA.

City can always clear this up by going public with their own documents. It's odd they haven't done this.

they also made VAR not give a penalty against City for the Fury/Wilder warm-up from City's goalie.

Where the judgement was reached by some of the most respected legal minds in the world.
(and not possibly-corrupt UEFA officials).

All City have to do now is prove that those very respected legal minds are corrupt, like you've believed because City have said so.

Hazard broke his ankle at the weekend. Good news for City for a change.

It has not gone well for him in Spain, which is bad news for Chelsea RE add ons and bonuses.

Poor Fabianski. 

[Gnomicide]

Fabianski now on the Liverpool payroll apparently.

Turns out these winter breaks aren't all they're cracked up to be. We've been nowhere near our best since!

Well the 4th best team in the league are not very good.

[TheGayTent]

I’m pleased not all the banners were confiscated and sky at least acknowledged their awareness of them. Hopefully the media will report on the March next home game.

Has been the case for several seasons. Nothing new there.

Clearly Arsenal missing out on the Champions League hasn't dampened Bayern Munich's enthusiasm for playing in London.
