Erling Haaland’s success in converting the penalty underscores his status as one of the most sought-after strikers in world football. His ability to score from a variety of situations, including penalties, adds to his market value and reputation.

So we do have a separate rule book for city…

Wish we had this ref in our last game.

This is Michael Oliver on VAR being Michael Oliver VAR.

He’s the biggest “umm actually” ref in the league.

Look at that time he gave Martinelli two yellows from the same passage of play. He loves to enforce interpretations of the rules that are technically correct but almost never enforced.

shit like this with VAR makes me not want to watch… so fucking stupid. i thought VAR was supposed to help refs make better calls, not worse. any time a player refuses to take an actual step and instead puts his feet together to fall is a clear signal of a dive. no one fucking falls like that… take an extra step because you are off balance and then fall, fine, but no fucking person falls like that
