It was a fantastic game of football. My opinion is, if I'm allowed one as I wasn't at the game (see what I've done there) is Liverpool were fantastic for the first 15 mins, Kompany should have seen red for his tackle on Salah and the disallowed goal should have stood. After the first 15 mins City's masterclass showed Liverpool up, they lost composure and resorted to long ball to nobody their passing was awful and their ball control was also awful. Only one team looked genuine class and it wasn't Liverpool.
If only they'd wrongly been given a goal where the ball wasn't over the line.
Whether the ball was over the line or would have altered the outcome is mute but from that point on City dominated the game and were worthy winners the only surprise was the Liverpool equaliser.

You said it should have been allowed though?

I haven't changed my opinion that the goal should have stood. I watched the game on an American feed that showed a graph of the ball at least 90% over the line so unless the rule has changed and that now the whole ball has to be over the line? then I believe the goal should have been given. I'm happy to be corrected on that however the better team bar far on the day won.

90%?? hasn't it always been "whole" therefore 100%?

It's not a goal, it's not down to opinions. The whole ball has to cross the line,which it didn't... I'm sure Liverpool fans will be preparing a petition though as we speak,how unfair the rule is

Instead of having it on mute, turn the sound on and you'll hear them explaining why it wasn't a goal.
I'm happy to admit I am wrong. the screen shot on the video link is exactly what was shown on my internet feed. the video is worth a watch for those like me who did not know the rules... I hate goal line technology.

Why do you hate technology that's in place to make sure a correct and honest decision can be made?

Why would you hate goal line technology? Do you not want correct decisions given? Goal line technology is the one black or white area which should 100% be used as it's not a matter of opinion - the ball is either fully over the line or not. The 'goal' last night wasn't disallowed - it was never ever given - as the officials are buzzed immediately if the ball has gone over the line these days. Last night they reported that 1.12 cm of the 22cm diameter failed to cross the line - that's even more than you stated (around 95%) - it's most probably going to be one of the closest decisions ever - unlucky on Liverpool and lucky for City as you are talking about John Stones hooking it away 100th of a second later and it's a goal. It's a correct decision at the end if the day and why the technology was brought in to save these discussions! (they didn't reckon on you though Kiwi)

My only concern with goalline technology is the lack of consistency. Fully get the whole of the ball as the entire 80's seemed to be spent by told that by Jimmy Hill, but would seem to be they don't use the same criteria when it comes to the ball being out of play anywhere else on the pitch. "Most of the ball" seems good enough to award a corner / goal kick / throw in but not a goal, unless its just my head playing tricks on me.

The whole ball has to be over the line in any case when to deem the ball out of play. Whether the officials see it as over or not is down to their own reactions at the time which are never going to be 100% accurate.
The rules that seem to be contradictory to this is to get the ball back into play. The ball can just be touching the line just a bit off a goal kick or a corner, the ball doesn't have to fully be in them areas. Same as a throw-in, you can touch the line with your boot but can't go any over it.

They don't use the technology for throw ins or corners - that's still down to the officials. And as Dalefan7 said - that's never going to be 100% correct - had the officials not had goal line technology last night there is a very good chance Liverpool would have gone 1-0 up.
