Ratings & Reactions: Man City v Villa

[blunther]

I'm bowing out and gonna try and take the season off football after that. The straw that broke the camel's back. I really like what were trying to build, out manager, our ethos, our players; but I honestly believe this game is bent to the core. It's a soap opera designed to generate money from foreign fans. It's a machine that doesn't care about proper fans, it just wants it's big stars to win to generate cash. That's not the game I grew up loving. That's one too many nights ruined for me. 

I might fail, but I'm gonna try and go cold turkey and not watch another game all season. The world is shit enough at the minute without corrupt institutions playing me for a mug and taking my money.

With a heavy heart, I'm **** off.

**** OFF ROBBIE SAVAGE YOU BALLSACK

[TheAuthority]

from the beeb

Jon Moss is met at the tunnel by John Terry...

[Lord Willard]

The ball is played forward towards the striker. It's not like he was offside waiting for Ming's to **** up. The ball is played forward towards the striker. It's offside. I'm fuming 

[Danishlad]

Man City had 68% possession and 28 shots. We fought well though, but they are so much better than us.

[Kiwivillan]

Good performance after difficult circumstances against one of best teams in the league and some terrible officiating. 

[Demitri_C]

I hope you use that money you got from city to join a gym and go on a diet you fat tub of shit moss

Corruption at its best

[Sulberto21]

Oh and Mcginn played some beautiful through balls. Should have buried that chance it was clear we lacked sharpness.

[TheStagMan]

Game stolen from us by utterly corrupt cheating referees both on the pitch and at Stockley Park. There is no way any of them can be this incompetent. All of them have to be on the take, it is as obvious as hell and frankly I am ashamed of what football in this country has become.

Have you ever known the PL “clarify” a rule that fast? All because the ref pundit said they’d made a mistake.

[Okonokos]

There comes a time when you have to ask yourself the following;

a) are people THAT bad at their jobs?

b) are they corrupt?

Nobody can be that bad at their job so that leaves one possibility. Utter disgrace. But at least we can measure if someone's toenail is offside by a nanometre, eh? Thank god for that.

The FA, referees, VAR, the lot of you - hang your heads in shame you scumbags.

Mings has been mr casual for months. He needs a short spell out of the 11 to have a think.

I wanted Hause to keep his place tbh, and now, I'm fully in favour of dropping Mings and don't think the inadquacies of the ref should be a cover for it.

Offside goal aside, he nearly scored an own goal, and his suicidal short pass to Konsa in the box nearly cost us. 3 fuckups directly gifting them a chance in one game. It's just not good enough.

What a shame to be robbed at the end  after such a gallant effort 

City are a great team but we had our chances too 

[rbcuk]

Disgraceful performance from a so called ref

Thought we was going to hold out for a draw

Peter Walton changed his mind, onside now.

A bank transfer has just landed in his account. 

[YouUnastanFren]

How can the target of the pass and the player who challenges for and wins the ball not be active?

[El Zen]

If Villa weren’t such a joy to watch, I’d might give up on this crap. Worst decision I can remember. People trying to claim it’s a «new passage of play» need a big fat load of common sense for supper, as this flies in the face of any precedent on the offside rule I’ve ever known. F*** off Jon Moss.

Have they clarified it?

[ciggiesnbeer]

Man City were the better team. But the officiating was criminal. We really do get hosed by officials .

[Okonokos]

To the Villa boys, absolutely superb performance. But what can you do when its 15 v 11?
