Calling for a replay is the only way to remedy the situation. How can you rob people just to start apologizing and not return what you stole from them?

When Man Utd score an offside goal against City 2 seasons ago who did they punish huh

Why is Bruno F not shown a red card huh

You see as I dey look Una and Howard Webb huh

No amount of punishment can undo the damage that has already been done. Some wounds may heal with time, but the consequences of certain actions can never be completely erased.

Medicine after death.....Even me that was a spectator knew that the goal shouldn't have stood because even if Haaland was onside, Enzo that was offside interfered with play hence, the goal shouldn't have stood yet more than one professional referee handling VAR want to make us believe they didn't see it and now see what they're calling punishment. .

Seriously, the premier League needs to do better about these blatant referee/VAR errors and inconsistencies.....for a league that prides itself as the best in the world....fair and consistent refereeing should be the least of things we should expect from them. .

If Enzo had not interfered in his offside position, it's would have been a clean goal.

Only 2 weeks punishment for an action that could cause Manchester United to be relegated at the end of the season? Not fair! But as an Arsenal Fan, Matt Donohue is a hero and should have his statue built at the Emirates for doing a great service to Humankind

As an Arsenal fan,why should you be happy that Man City won the game?
How exactly does that result favour The Arsenal that you should be happy about it?

IF?
We are not dealing with 'IFS',the fact remains Enzo interfered with the play and the goal shouldn't have stood.
Even the blind could see that but the VAR.

I was happy the goal was counted because it is a payback time for what Man Utd did to this same City in 2023. Rashford was offside all alone by a distance. He ran after the ball and later retreated. Then someone else went ahead to score the goal. It costs City the win. They lost the match.

All in all, something needs to be done about such blatant errors....keep sentiments aside.

You people are still going around with this erroneous narrative? No bro, go back to that clip, Rashford didn’t influence Akanji’s chance of getting or losing that ball at all because the ball had already gone past him and Bruno was the closest out of the three playe rs going for it excluding Rashford. So if you take Rashford away from the video, the ball would still land at Bruno’s feet.

BECAUSE IT IS MAN UTD, THEY HAVE TO BREAK PROTOCOL BY PUNISHING REFEREE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL FOR GETTING A DECISION WRONG, A COMMON MISTAKE WHICH HAPPENS WEEKLY. THEY ARE SO ANGRY BECAUSE MANCITY BENEFITTED FROM THIS ONE INSTEAD OF MAN UTD.

THEY JUST LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG AND NOW WE KNOW THAT REFEREE CAN BE PUNISHED BY THE FA.
I HOPE THIS PUNISHMENT WILL STILL EXIT WHEN OTHER TEAMS BEGIN TO LAY COMPLAINS ON SIMILAR OFFENSES.

THANK YOU ENGLISH FA FOR STARTING THIS, I WISHED THEY CAN ALSO IMPLEMENT POINT DEDUCTIONS FOR WRONG OFFICIATING.

Re: Matt Donohue: The VAR Referees For The Manchester Derby Has Been Punished by Gerundphrase: 3:56pm On Sep 16

The match should be replayed
What if man City wins the league by let's say 2 or 3 points? These kinds of error shouldn't be allowed to happen at such level of football. It irks everything about match fixing, because even my girlfriend who knows little about football judged the goal as offside talk more of professionals who have undergone rigorous training yet couldn't play by simple rules of the game

That offside that time was closer to offside than this one. Anybody can spin a narrative to favour his team. Go and watch that ball again. There's never been any offside as clear as that Man Utd goal.

I sent you what the rule book says you’re sending me some Gemini nonsense. Gemini answered you according to the prompt you fed it. Okay, I will use that same Gemini now🤣
Again, remove Rashford from that clip, are you telling me that Akanji would get the ball before Bruno? Like for real?
While he didn’t touch the ball, he also made sure he didn’t impede or interfere with Akanji’s chance of reaching the ball. Bruno was obviously the one in the best position to win the ball out of the three players (Bruno, Walker and Akanji. The ball had already beaten and gone past Akanji. Did you even watch the match sef?🤣

No need for punishment. Just reflect the correct score. This is corruption!! Why punish the referee, when you can just correct the score line ?

story teller..if enzo was not there the ball would have still landed on hallands feet..rashford running towards the ball affected akanji decision so it's an interference

No. Make una dey watch ball. No be to dey check update for livescore and nairaland.
Enzo obviously went for the ball while Akanji was far from the ball. Again, remove Rashford from the picture, are you genuinely saying that Akanji was closer to that ball than Bruno? Comot that gum wey dey your eye my bro. You are being ignored.

Did the FA own up to the mistake then, they have admitted it's an error here which makes it a bit different.
