Any moron doubting the red card completely changed the momentum of the Liverpool Man City match in the cheaters favour earlier... #livmci #lfc

Love Peter Drury as a commentator but him saying city beating Liverpool through adversity, making it seem heroic and these players are so loyal etc, I bet all of them were onto their agents when the guilty verdict was handed out 'just in case', rats will leave that ship first chance they get #livmci

I felt that as well, trying to make it look like they didn't voluntarily cheat over 9 years, they've been found guilty, they tried to hinder and stop the investigation, they got their higher ups to threaten the UK government, the club knows they're guilty and they can't be allowed to deflect from it

Premier League commentators talking about Man City as if it’s a player accused or sexual assault: with way too many euphemisms and sympathy.

Hopefully the rest of the league are able to get a fair shake at trying to beat Man City without referees deliberately shifting momentum against them... #livmci #liv

On sky sports hearing Neville and Carragher say city bought well but of course they have, they've cheated on a grand scale to do it...

I find it funny that City are being lauded as an amazing team but that has an asterisk by it as they cheated for 9 years+ to assemble the resources to be able to put that team together...The very definition of tainted... #livmci #liv

That’s the softest red ever. Every foul for us he’s flashing the yellow. Both yellows soft as fuck. Reds as bent as city

Im done. If we make some miraculous comeback I’ll catch it on replay. The game is a farce. Manchester ref makes it 11 vs 10 and then city score 2. Every single person who spends money on this farce should do a class action suit. I’m not joking.

That's a perfect example of how a ref can influence the game without it being blatant. Every decision can be justified in isolation as just a matter of opinion. But we all know the truth... #lfc

Utter bullshit, that ref has robbed us of the momentum we had, another bought and paid for one, sent off our biggest goal threat in this match with 2 yellows that shouldn't have been... #livmci

...but it could then result in sanctions from FIFA against English football as a whole, which of course would encompass a lot more than just Man City, I think this is where the clubs may be concerned...

Straight Shootin' LJA @sslja.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
...but if he does get involved with the sanctions against City, then that could give city grounds for a new appeal and potentially lessen any punishment given. Although considering the threats made by the UAE, he could actually want to do that to help them out...

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Burnham needs to stay out of it because he risks f*cking up the punishment, because remember FIFA'S rules about government interference? Usually it's only smaller & especially African nations that get punished for it...

On a side note though, the threats to our Government about pulling out £30bn investment doesn't sound like the actions of an innocent party, sounds basically like blackmail... If you're innocent you don't need to do that. The Premier League are definitely at a crossroads here...

Then as the coup de grace for every year they basically mocked the rules they get a transfer ban, so 9 years worth of transfer bans so they can't buy their way out of any league they end up in, and because it will force them to develop young talent & start again the right way...

Then add an £800m fine to make up for how much they over inflated sponsorships during the investigated period, plus another £50m on top because of their lack of admission of any wrong doing...

Straight Shootin' LJA @sslja.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
This will relegate them at least a league, maybe even 2 as 2 pts per charge even if they get 90 pts in back to back seasons will see them drop to league one at least and the EFL are a lot stricter with FFP than the premier League & relegated sides have 2 seasons to balance their books...

Straight Shootin' LJA @sslja.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
...with the stipulation that if their appeal is unsuccessful and because they tried to block and manipulate the league at every turn, the punishment then becomes 2 points per charge for wasting time and trying to cover their blatant lying...

Straight Shootin' LJA @sslja.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
In terms of a punishment for Man City the minimum I'm hoping for an instant relegation to the championship (parachute payment removed), a points deduction that is a point for every charge (so -114 points) to apply from the start of next season...

Manchester City need to be made an example of and the Premier League need to have the balls to show clubs that if you mock our rules, we'll mock you and the punishment will be Draconian. You get one big opportunity to show you're serious and that chance is here and now

Straight Shootin' LJA @sslja.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
With the punishments I've mentioned I'd add not only a £500m fine but a year transfer embargo for each year they have a breach/s, so 9 years worth of charges, 9 years of transfer bans so whatever league they're relegated to, they can't just buy their way out of...

The whole premise of City blocking & being uncooperative at every turn should lead to their expulsion alone. The PL is a members club, if you won't play by the rules everyone has signed up for, fine go play somewhere else #lfc

Really they should have Calciopoli scandal level punishments dealt out to them, relegation, stripped titles and 40-50 points deductions at least due to the ramifications of their cheating...

Also, as said on a Pitch Talk vlog when this all first came out, they'll delay any sanctions for so long with the appeal process that it won't hurt them anyway, as they'll be given an opportunity to protect themselves...

Of course any punishment will get dragged out for years by the appeal process and probably be reduced by the Court of arbitration for sport... Let's see if the punishment is even commensurate to the sheer volume of charges brought...

Also the sending off Bruno Fernandes clearly kicks Foden on the ground (resulting in Foden's reaction) which is classed as violent conduct, so he should have walked with Foden...The refs and VAR again due to human error have botched two big calls #munmci #var #mamchesterderby

Straight Shootin' LJA @sslja.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Fernandez gets the winning goal disallowed (by the letter of the law that the officials are supposed to be following) as he made a clear action towards the ball and the full back who got left one on 2 is influenced by that as he's focused on Fernandez w/Haaland behind him...
