Only for a couple of millimeters city don't win today and couldn't see us slipping up against rafa or at home against wolves. This goal line technology has won them the league. Can't see leicester do anything cos there far better at home but also the empty had be packed and the crowd be baying for blood if any of there players are even touched. If they need a pen they go down easy and the crowd will make refs mind up for him.
Another scattergun post.
One day, if a ball was halfway over the goalline, it "should" be a goal. The next day, goalline technology has "won" City the league.
The rule since Day 1 of our sport is, if all of the ball is over all of the line, a goal is scored. Therefore the City goal was valid. And if they needed to score a different type of goal, they would have. Burnley are not good enough to hold City scoreless for 90 minutes. And they didn't.
Now the question is do we rest players against Newcastle or not? I'm not sure what I'd do.
We don't rest players against anyone. We are used to playing twice per week. We have a maximum of 5 competitive games before mid-August. This is the business end of the season, we have world class players, and have massive momentum. The players should relish the challenge every few days, not want to run and hide from it.
