Dawson was well onside...... linos a idiotBT Sport asked the ref at half time and they were told that he disallowed it for Dawson being offside, not Ade.

It wasn't pretty in the first 30 minutes. Once we got started, City looked nowhere near as threatening and we ended the half as the better team. After that it went to a complete shambles (not entirely through our own fault)!
I don't really think there are many issues. We played against a team with better players, and had decisions gone our way we could have gotten a result. I don't think anything's been shown up in this game that we didn't already know - Lennon and Sig go missing on the wings, Dawson is slow, Rose can't cross etc.
Oh, and @Legend10 , you're usually a cool guy, so back off with @Beni please. He's merely saying that the way football works nowadays, he sees why the assistant gave it - and tbh you're coming off pretty brash.
I am sorry, but this entire thread is bullshit, the only apollogising that should be done is by the club to the fans for the complete and utter cluster fook this club has become.
LOL, you Irish?fook
nah, not at allLOL, you Irish?
WTF, refs talk to broadcasters now?BT Sport asked the ref at half time and they were told that he disallowed it for Dawson being offside, not Ade.
the ball came off of ade and ade was off side.This was posted in the match thread.
Sorry Jim' but you speak from your arse, we did not capitulate, christ its hard enough against them with eleven men but with ten men and two down its pretty well impossible but we kkept trying. Did yoi notice how zabsleta made the thitd goal from our left, exactly what Rose had been stopping all night.Don't be ridiculous. We were outplayed. Once again capitulating when a decision does not go our way.
You lot wouldn't be out of place on RAWK.
He couldn't possibly have flagged Dawson, could he? Ade was the key I think.I'm pretty sure the linesman flagged against Dawson anyway but I'd like to see it again regarding Ade.

Man city are an awesome team, and we really needed every decision and luck to go our way to stand a chance.
Like I said the decisions are debatable decisions, but could have gone either way, but we would be jumping up and down claiming offside or a penalty if it was us on the other foot.
The game has got a bit too soft, but can see why they want to eradicate the tackle from behind.
My amateur days are probably over now, as I was through on goal, and defender went through the back of me to get the ball but got my knee instead, leaving me waiting for an op for an ACL reconstruction. He never got sent off
Ladies and Gentleman, I'm sorry but it is a penalty and by the strictest letter of law probably a red card to boot. Harsh but within the laws.

Rose slides in and makes contact with the player first and then the ball. FIFA States that this is a foul and a direct free kick, though as its inside the box its a penalty.
Rose has denied the player a clear goal scoring chance, so red is an acceptable colour.
We might not like it, it might have been a close call, but we cannot sit here and moan about it.
All the European pundits I have heard on Tv here in Germany for example, said it was totally the correct decision.
I presume the officials gave the penalty because they thought Rose got the man (a theatrical Dzeko), not because it was a tackle from behind.
