City v Bournemouth post match

This could go in so many threads (referees, Sterling, etc etc) but, as the Bishop said to the actress, I'll stick it in here. Apparently, this is the official UEFA ruling on goal celebrations;

If that is in fact correct, what exactly did Raheem get his second yellow card for? Answers on a postcard to PGMOL....

Well I think you are forgetting that refs bring out their own rule book when dealing with City so normal rules dont apply I'm afraid.

That's pretty conclusive that Dean SHOULD have simply used common sense and usher the players back to the kick off with no cautions.

Clearly Dean was making it up as he went along Sterling didn't leave the grass, or climb the fence, or pull his shirt over his head, or take too long celebrating (he should have been warned first for this anyway).

I really can't see which of the rules Sterling should have broken. I rewatched the game this morning and noticed that when Bournemouth scored to 1-0 their player (forgot the name) left the pitch and celebrated in front of their fans in the corner. Why was that allowed without problems and Sterling booked?

Why do you think? ;-)

Great character and desire shown by the team.
Was also pleasing to see the reaction at the end from the players and the fans.
In Mendy we have a born winner with some attitude which i like.
Good start to the season.

I can't answer in honesty that without being branded as conspiracy theorist, but at the very least it looks to me like there is a coordinated effort from official side to weaken City.

I agree entirely with this. See my rant on page 68 of the refereeing thread re corruption in high places.

Paranoid? They're all out to get us!!!
