Gary doesn’t know why he wasn’t offside. I don’t know why Fernandes is still on the pitch.

OK, clearly he wasn’t then…
Haarland was onside when the Manure defender got a touch to the cross. Definitely onside…god bless VAR.

Although you can always rely on him to fuck up a promising situation. Not a 2nd yellow though?
City fans rubbing it in…“We only had 10 men, we only had 10 men, 10 men” 
The irony of this post, Phil, is that it wasn’t about Baz. He was probably having his career game at the same time for Bolton.
Keep taking the medicine.
Was Haaland’s winner a VAR error?published at 19:01 BST

It started with confusion over Haaland, but the goal scorer was at no stage actually offside.
Haaland had been played onside by the outstretched foot of Patrick Dorgu, who was attempting to block the cross from Josko Gvardiol. The deflection off the boot of Dorgu was not relevan.
Fernandez, however, was definitely in an offside position, stood in the centre of the penalty area well ahead of Dorgu’s boot.
It is what happened as the ball went through to Haaland to score that meant the goal should have been ruled out on a VAR intervention.
There is one key part of the offside law which applies to Fernandez:
“Clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent”
It is possible for a player in an offside position to attempt to play a ball and not commit an offence, because both parts of that clause must be met – there must be impact on an opponent.
Fernandez threw himself through the air to try to head the ball, with Lisandro Martinez directly behind him in the flight of the ball.
The VAR should ask himself if Fernandez’s action would influence a decision Martinez might make over playing the ball.
So, if Fernandez had not jumped to head the ball, would Martinez have made a different decision over playing the ball?
If the ball was well in front of the former Chelsea player, or if it was not within playing distance for Martinez, then there is an argument to give the goal.
But the ball went just a yard in front of Martinez, and it is very difficult to find any argument to say Fernandez did not commit an offside offence.
If Fernandez had not tried to play the ball, and just allowed it to run through, then there would not be a question of offside.
As the goal was incorrectly ruled out for offside against Haaland, the VAR should have sent referee Michael Oliver to the monitor for the subjective offence by Fernandez.
It would have created the odd situation where there was a review for a disallowed goal for a goal to remain disallowed, but this is what should have happened.
It was a clear offside offence by Fernandez and will go down as a mistake by the VAR.
Yeah I know it was citeh but Fernandes deserved it & it was Utd

Yep, if Fernández is playing the ref should have booked him as he ran onto the pitch and got a second card for simulation whenever he thinks he can get away with it.
In the case of the goal Fernández shouldn’t have been on the pitch so his involvement is immaterial.
QED.

Different Fernandez, it was Enzo Fernandez who was involved, and he is Argentinian so should have been red carded before he got out of the changing room.

And the moral of this VAR fuck up…
too many Fernandez’s in the Premier League, they should all be suspended forthwith.
Talking about Fernandes, Mateus isn’t exactly proving his worth to the Spuds.
