  1. Why did it take the linesman 13 seconds to raise his flag? Obviously there was communication from the ref and VAR over the headsets so this "well that was the call on the field, nothing can be done" is just a bs line they use to shield themselves when they mess up.

  2. Dermott is like a politician he avoids the answer he just skirts around it, if their is no obvious decision then why is there not one? you don't change rules to suit, you also don't put a man city fan refereeing a man city game, that is clear and obvious that this game was going to go in man city's favour.

  3. 7:42 unfortunately just by Robertson being there is impacting the play, by standing there even if he only draws one percent of the keepers attention he is still affecting the keepers concentration.

    It may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually think this call was correct

  4. Will you show a video of where Bernardo was standing and which direction the ball actually went? Why do these people always stand in against when it's about Man City? And many times have liverpool scored with this same thing?

  5. It's more on a referee is just protecting var and the referee on the pitch of the day Robertson is quite clearly not impacting play he's well out of the Line of Sight of the Keeper the ball is going towards the goal and Robinson is moving away from the Golden ducking there is no offside here and this referee is just offending his mates

  6. Donarama is looking at the ball but he would be very aware of Robertson even if not looking directly at him and that may of slowed him by half a second which could make the difference of making a save. He doesn't have blinkers on ffs 😂
    And Robertson ducking is an action to effect a play, same way moving out the way to dummy a pass is a deliberate action to effect play.
    Pains me to say but the refs are right with this one

  7. Everyone knows that is a goal but officals Refs are a joke in Prem… UK is in shambles……. Rules are changed to meet what they want… cooked F the prem.

  8. If these referees are not corrupt, they have to be the dumbest people in football. In the same matchday where outtara was denied a penalty because the contact was present but minimal and the reaction was "exaggerated", a minimal contact by mamardashvili was given as penalty. In the same matchday where there seems to be no contact whatsoever by Dan burns on outtara, a penalty was given. STOP BLAMING VAR, THAT IS A SMOKESCREEN TO SHIELD THIS INEPT AND INCOMPETENT IF NOT CORRUPTED REFEREES.

  9. I mean considering where Robertson was standing, the keeper may have been hesitant to commit to the header due to the fact Robertson could have flicked it into the other side if he was onside. Keeper didn’t know he was offside.

    Yes he ducked but that was after the header and even a split second would make the keeper behind diving for the save. Would he have reached it? Don’t know but it doesn’t matter, Robertson has or could have influenced the play.

    If the goal is given what is to stop teams from putting players in offside positions to trick the keeper and just say move out of the way after the ball is hit?
