O'Neil's Outrage: Was That City Goal Legit?
So, you saw the goal, right? The one that gave City the win against United? Yeah, the one that had everyone saying "was that even onside?" O'Neil, the United manager, ain't happy about it. He reckons it was a dodgy call, and you know what, I kinda see his point.
The Goal That Had Everyone Talking
The goal itself was a beauty. A brilliant pass from De Bruyne, a clinical finish from Haaland. But, it all hinged on that offside call. The linesman's flag stayed down, and the referee, bless his soul, allowed the goal to stand. But was it the right call?
O'Neil's Take: He was furious after the match. He argued that the City player was "clearly offside" and that the referee had "made a terrible mistake." He's not afraid to speak his mind, that O'Neil.
The Controversy: The replays were a bit blurry, and even with all the technology we have, it was tough to say for sure. Some folks said the City player was inches offside, others argued he was onside.
What Now?
This whole debacle highlights the challenges of VAR and the impact of close calls. It also shows the passion and frustration of managers who are fiercely protective of their teams.
What's clear is that this goal will be debated for weeks. Will it spark changes in the way VAR is used? Will we see stricter interpretations of the offside rule? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: the debate's gonna rage on!
