Bruno Fernandes' record 21st assist probably shouldn't exist. And the rules that prove it came from Man United fans themselves. Here's what happened: Fernandes whipped in a corner, Dorgu's header hit the crossbar, came down, hit Verbruggen's hand and went into the net. The Premier League officially credited it as a Dorgu goal and a Bruno Fernandes assist. Record broken. Then the replays came out. United fans started sharing a screenshot of the Premier League's own published rules titled "When is it NOT an own goal?" thinking it proved the goal was correctly given to Dorgu. Here's the painful irony, that image actually builds the case AGAINST Bruno's assist. Here's exactly why. The PL rules only protect attacker goal credit in two specific situations: 1. ON-TARGET DEFLECTIONS — If an attacking player shoots a ball that is already on target and it deflects off a defender on its way past the goalkeeper, the goal stays with the attacker. The defender's touch is just considered a deflection. 2. GOALKEEPER FUMBLES — If an attacking shot on goal is stopped but the goalkeeper fumbles and accidentally pushes it over the line, it is credited to the shooter. The critical word in BOTH cases is ON TARGET. A ball that hits the crossbar or post is by definition OFF TARGET. It is logged as a missed shot in every official stats system including Opta, the PL's own data partner. The goal was already not happening. At the moment that ball struck the crossbar, Dorgu's header was a miss. So when Verbruggen's hand then redirected it into the net, he was not fumbling an on-target shot. He was accidentally diverting a ball that had already missed the goal. Neither of the two protection rules applies here. By the Premier League's own published rules, that is an own goal, Verbruggen OG, not Dorgu goal. Now here's where it gets even more brutal for we the United fans If the Premier League's Goal Accreditation Panel reviewed this and ruled it a Verbruggen own goal, Bruno Fernandes would lose his assist completely. This is another PL rule most people don't know, own goals cannot have assists. It doesn't matter how good the corner was, how deliberately it was delivered or how directly it led to the goal. The moment it becomes an OG, the assist simply disappears from the record. Bruno would drop from 21 back to 20 and level with Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry, not above them. No outright record. Can the panel actually change it now? Technically yes. The Goal Accreditation Panel has no strict published deadline for reviews. But will they? Almost certainly not. The season ended today. The Premier League has already posted the record celebration on their official account. Bruno Fernandes was named Premier League Player of the Season just yesterday. The record has been publicly confirmed at the highest level. Reversing it now would mean the PL publicly embarrassing themselves by walking back their own official announcement hours after making it. So Bruno almost certainly keeps the record, not because the rules clearly support the decision, but because football admin does not reopen finished seasons, and nobody with the power to change it has any incentive to do so. I'm a Man United fan. I want the record to stand. But bias doesn't change what the rules actually say.

What you see in this video is the blood stains of a young boy who was brutally murdered by a gang of five near the Meenakshi Amman temple in Madurai. Drug peddlers, Sexual assaulters, and murderers have a free pass in Tamil Nadu. The State police seem to have learnt no lessons from the past, & the new TVK govt is yet to emerge from its celebratory mode and confront the grim realities unfolding on the ground.

A narcissistic husband blames his wife for a separation to protect his fragile ego and avoid the shame of failure.
