Today's referee

[Hamann Pineapple]

If anyone had any doubt over refereeing integrity surely today just confirmed what a few of us have said for a few years on this forum. That wasn't bad refereeing, that was cheating. Bad refereeing occurs both ways, not just in one teams favour. At half time each team had 50% possession and we had created the most chances and were without doubt the one providing the attacking intent, yet the foul count was 13-1. No doubt Pidge, The cookie monster and SJK will have their excuses lined up and say he couldn't have been cheating because we still won but anyone who was at that game today surely has to have suspicions over the integrity of that performance.

Excuses? How about the notion that they actually were fouls, and our tackling was mostly shit today? Is that so absurd to consider? Zabaleta's yellow was deserved, as was Kolo's, Rodwell's was for persistent fouling. The only problem was that he didn't give us as many free kicks as we should have done, he let a lot of their stuff go.

If he was so bent, why didn't he send Joe off?

Wasn't even a foul

i would ask any one of them

are manchester city thirteen times more dirty that chelsea?

Marniner is a fucking cheat, not incompetent

Can't see how anyone could disagree with this.

Load of bollocks, more like. Only reason he didn't send Joe off was because he knew it shouldn't have been a pen in first place plus the ball was heading out of play.

Not really. Admittedly I watched it on tv, but I would actually go out to say, 50% of the fouls given, were not fouls at all. In fact, there was no contact at all on a few.

the foul that zabba got the yellow for was a foul...the previous one or two werent

he didnt send hart off cause there was the arguement that it wasnt a goal scoring opportunity as the ball was under Ba's control and was rolling out of play (Ba probably wouldnt have got to it or would have been so far wide if he did he wouldnt have been able to score

rodwell was for persistent fouling but a couple of the earlier decisions against him were also wrong

Im not suggesting that the ref was cheating.....Im saying he was inept....he was conned way too easy and also that the rules of the game are wrong....

It all comes down to one line that sky commentators continually trot out ..."he was/is entitled to go down"...to me this notion is the singular biggest problem in football.....you go over because you cannt keep your balance (think of aguero and that goal vs qpr.....he struggled to keep his balance and did ).......just because you feel the slightet knock doesnt make you entitled to go down....players should be, and the rules should state/encourage them to stay on their feet....anything else is cheating!!!

Whatever occurred on the pitch resulted in the Ref pointing towards City's goal like it was Chelsea's fucking duty to score. I've watched a lot of football and this twat's
performance was suspect to say the least, I'll reserve judgement for now.
