The Warriors wouldn't make the playoffs with Steph, Draymond and Klay this season because you had no idea NBA playoffs existed from 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Talk too much


Anyways, good win over Denver. It was nice watching an upset.

Those players are never good until they want to make an excuse for Bronny and then they become "4 All-stars". We been knew it.

lordbeans:


Always saying rubbish. Steph-Klay driven warriors had the 73 -9 record. The best record.

That is not his issue. He is against anything that presents his hero as nothing more than what we have never seen before. A lot of pundits have been saying how good GSW would have been had Klay and SC been fit to go with Wiggins. Which makes him feel that they are saying what his hero is doing is not special. Hence that comment.

VVD and Giroud are not of the same height in this world and in the world to come.

Griezmann is used wrongly. It is easy to suss Barca out once you plan around Messi. It could have gone either ways with converted chances. We needed a wake-up call.

The attack is lacking in pace. Sad day but not the worst.

elampiro:


This is not the rule. Premier League have even clarified this thing you people are still arguing. It is simple sense from the rules. This is something I knew since 2015.

It is possible to be a United fan and still be objective.

A player on the floor cannot impair the vision of a standing keeper.

Which even makes it more frivolous when you realize that DDG was initially moving towards the ball at the trajectory that Lewin kicked it. Which means DDG saw the ball.

I agree that the ball deflected and caught him off guard. But who caused the ball to deflect? Maguire - DDGs own teammate. So it can never be offside as the player who was offside did not interfere with the play.

I rest my case but just like when CFC fans defended the robbery against Ajax only to cry wolf against United, this decision could go against United when you need it the most.

nitrogen:


Bros, rest na, what is your own sef?

I am just making a case. I had zero stakes in the game.

elampiro:


This one no concern rule. The ball was on his path while going into the net. That is the issue.

It does. If the last touch comes from a United player, it cannot be offside.

elampiro:



The Premier League have moved quickly to clarify why Everton's late goal against Manchester United was disallowed.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin put the ball in the back of the net via a deflection and for a brief moment thought he had won all three points for his side.


But the goal was chalked off due to Gylfi Sigurdsson's positioning. The playmaker had been wiped out in the build up and was lying on the turf in front of David de Gea . Sigurdsson moved his legs to let the ball go into the back of the net but it was deemed that he had directly impacted the United shot-stopper's ability to make a save.

The Premier League statement read: "In the 91st minute of Everton v Manchester United, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal was disallowed following a VAR Review for an offside offence against Gylfi Sigurdsson

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/premier-league-statement-explains-everton-21611578.amp

Everybody knows that barring something extremely flagrant like a foot stamp or some cynical foul, the EPL referees never countermand any decisions that any of their own make during a game.

When the review was shown, VAR was checking for a touch from Sigurdsson. That is exactly what the replays kept checking for. We all saw it. All the angles started and stopped at checking if Gylfi made contact with the ball. He did not in any way.

This excuse by the EPL is utter nonsense especially when you know that they would have given a corner kick had that ball not gone into the net.

The only way Sigurdsson's position affects DDGs ability would be if Maguire had not touched the ball and it went towards Gylfi's path. That was not the case. Doubt it, bring the gif or a link showing the replays of that chance.

elampiro:


The image and what I saw from VAR show that DDG was going to dive but hesitated in anticipation of a deflection when the ball hits Sigurdson.

Overall, the rules are clear. Sidgurdson was too close to the ball. That alone is enough. His action also affected the decision of the goalkeeper.

The ball was deflected to his own path it was not in his path when it left Lewin's foot.

elampiro:


There was an interference that prevented the ball to be defended by the goalkeeper. The rule is tje rule.

DDG would have dived for it if not for interference.

Not only does this image actually nullify your point, it is completely and absolutely untrue that DDG would have made a move for the deflected ball.

Don't forget, the ball was deflected by Maguire and DDG had set himself to dive towards his right end. All that happened was exactly what happens to every keeper when the ball changes direction. They are caught flat-footed.

Sigurdsson is clearly not influencing the play in anyway since Maguire changed the direction of the ball to his (Gylfi's) own path.

Get the gif version of the chance and be objective. Please.

elampiro:
Meanwhile Roy Kean
....

Keane believes the right decision was made by the VAR officials but has criticised Sigurdsson for not getting out of the way quicker.

The Irishman does not think De Gea would have saved Calvert-Lewin’s shot if Sigurdsson was not in the way.


“I don’t think [De Gea] would have [saved it], but I do think they got to the right decision, I have to say,” Keane said on Sky Sports.

“I think because sometimes it’s so late in the game and it’s going to be the winning goal people are even a bit more emotional than normal.

“But I’d be annoyed with Sigurdsson for not getting out of the way. He sits there, please tell me what he’s waiting for.

“You’ve got to try and clear the area, that’s just a bit of common sense . I think it’s the right decision.

“Listen, I can see why Everton of course are disappointed but it’s the correct call .

“Why he is waiting? What is he waiting for? Disappointed? But you’ve got to get up and get out of the way, even make an attempt to get back on goal.”

Quoting Roy Keane (a united legend) and ZERO expert in refereeing or interpreting rules does not solidify your argument.

thorrvik55:

Howard Webb on Everton's disallowed goal:

“ Calvert lewin’s shot appears to go off target therefore it would be seen as an own goal from maguire and should stand”


I guess Howard Webb too no know ball. Na u and elamp sabi ball


Typical GGMUMU fan

I already said that call was made to placate United for the Fred yellow and the ensuing free kick.

Even if VAR was reviewing that goal to see Sigurdsson's role in the goal, the same VAR should have seen that Bisaka CLEARLY fouled him before which should have been a penalty.

eph12:

I'm not sure if this is the case because the ref couldn't have known he made the wrong call here. We can just say nature balanced things. Even Luke Shaw collected yellow card in the first half for doing nothing

Bruh, they told him in the ear. That Fred yellow was being reviewed. They just did not announce it.

elampiro:


If he did not avoid the ball, DeGea would read it well.because it would have deflected to the middle of the goal. And from VAR, I saw DDG wanted to go for the ball, but realizing there could be a deflection, he stood confused awaiting it in the middle

LOL

The image attached and the goal in question are not the same. De Gea was anticipating where Lewin will hit the ball but Maguire deflected it the opposite direction. Siggurdson did not touch the ball which is what the review was for. They saw he did not touch the ball but still stole a neat goal from Everton.

Unlimited22:

For the first time in a long time, we're in total agreement

VAR in England needs another VAR to police it. It has been disgraceful thus far

That was a makeup call. The Ref had goofed by wrongly giving Fred that yellow and freekick. I am pretty sure VAR reviewed it, told him and he realised it so he used that opportunity to prevent United from blowing air after the game.

elampiro:


Yes but the player offside must not interfere with the keeper's decision

You cannot be offside during that type of own goal. Guy. It is like someone blowing offside for a backpass that the opposition player intercepted.

larride:


How can someone that’s on the floor block the view of DDG that’s standing?

It was a clean goal abeg.

You are more honourable than some of your friends.

elampiro:


It is off. His body movement deceived the keeper. DeGea already anticipated the ball would hit him and divert. That is the rule

Completely untrue.

De Gea was misled by the deflection from Maguire. The refs did a makeup call for the wrong yellow on Fred (and free kick).

raumdeuter:
That should be a red and 4 match ban

What the fork

Every day and twice on Saturdays.

Wilder will win.

After missing the chance, dude started pretending he was injured.

raumdeuter:
See chance wey Morata waste

Good player but mentally weak.

Ugh!

Swissh:
Chelsea fans have absolutely no right to be accusing Man City of any thing.

Do you think many of them know that the FFP rule was created to frustrate teams starting with CFC that had no history and just because of a rich owner started paying outrageous fees for players?

You will see some praise Mourinho forgetting that players like Essien, Drogba etc should have gone to other teams for less money until their billionaire owner was giving them the go-ahead to do anything with money.

It is not even like CFC are in the clear. The reason Man City's own came out is because some hacker randomly stumbled upon the emails alluding to those things.

Juventus claimed CR7 money came from Fiat or whatever company's sponsorship.

PSG owner dashed Neymar $220M randomly which was sufficient amount for Neymar to activate his transfer clause with Barca. Etc etc

Swissh:

Lazio won Inter Milan today . Hensben whats your opinion? If Lazio finish above inter Milan has Conte failed for the season.

Conte did not have the players he wanted.

Greatihex:
what is your problem?


Both my post and the one I quoted were talking about European competitions.

How the Bleep does the Epl have anything to do with my post that you quoted.

Did you lose your sense to bet too?

Funny things I read here everyday.

Moving on.

birdman:


Tatum is raw talent. He is used to team basketball, AKA boring ball the celtics like to play. Cat needs to be freed so he can realize his potential

No lies detected in this post.

But...they have Brad Stevens the genius who is better than Nick Nurse and every other manager that won a ring in their first season as coaches including the ones with 3 rings in 6 seasons of coaching. They will figure it out.

BlueAngel444:


why don't you stake your remaining HAND if you're sure that CAS won't uphold the City's suspense even for a year.


Put your mouth where your hand is (literally, maybe if u lost both u won't be able to type trash so freely n frequently)

Sorry, I am not engaging someone who is absolutely clueless on the subject matter.

Greatihex:
seems like you did not even read the post you initially quoted. Please don't quote me again with again. Go and re-read my post that you first quoted.

Take your own advice and read exactly what I highlighted when I was responding in the first post.

eph12:

And if CAS upholds the ban even if in 10 years time, all trophies won will be withdrawn. I wonder how this is a win for City.

The punishment will not be done retroactively.

Who else noticed Tatum owned Kawhi in the OT of that Celts vs Clippers game?

Me neither.
