I wouldn't disagree with that. There have certainly been moments where shoulders have dropped a bit after another poor decision and it isn't surprising, they are only human after all. But there is just no option other than to rise above it and show these fuckers by winning matches despite the rough justice. It has to be their motivation and drive them on, not defeat them.
I the Navas one is a penalty then Xhaka hauling down Yaya in the box, is also a penalty.
yeah possibly but that was overlooked pretty much......
for me in reality only the Kun one was (but in the modern game people will say all were)
We have had big decisions go our way you are just too blinkered to see them. Its just on this forum they get forgotten as this would undermine the narrative.
We have definitely had poor decisions this season though and some of the decisions have been shambolic but the argument is diluted when views become blinkered.
I think when we get done again on Thursday it could be the final straw for a lot people.Funny, the same thought increasingly went through my mind the longer the match went on. I said on more than one occasion "they're not even subtle about the cheating any more". It was that blatant.
I'll see what happens on Thursday night (although I know exactly what is going to happen) before making a decision about the future. It's getting worse every week.
Didn't we pick up 4 yellows in that game for fairly innocuous challenges, but they went relatively unpunished until late on?The two fouls on Silva and Kun were the ones that pissed me off, no yellow no f**k all just like the league game. So well done the gunners, you've got away with murder twice.
First dodgy decision Thursday we should sing this
"We're playing 12 men, we're playing 12 men, just like the last game we'll get cheated again"
I'm beginning to think the bad decisions are part of the reason that we're not playing as well as we can. You can see it in the players body language. They look as if they expect the decisions to go against them. And when they do there's an air of fatalism about the team. A sort of "what can you do?" attitude.

I call bullshit on some of these...
Probably don't get paid as much so happy to accept a little pin money too...Who do the assistants support? They've as much influence as the referees

Yep at their place. I'm sick to death of it week after week seeing Silva having the shit kicked out of him. The refs do sod all and in all fairness no one on our team tries to even it up. Maybe sad to say but we need a bit of c**t in this team because it is very light weight. Having great strikers is no use when the brains of the team are having 7 shades kicked out of them.Didn't we pick up 4 yellows in that game for fairly innocuous challenges, but they went relatively unpunished until late on?
Strange the majority are lower league clubs,only one premier league club and that was Sunderland I call bullshit as well mat ..http://www.express.co.uk/pictures/sport/5808/Premier-League-referees-teams-support-sportgalleries

My thought is never give up and let them win. What a gutless responseIt seems to be common consensus on here and amongst City fans in general that we are being done over by the officials, the FA and the PL and we get no support from the media. The belief is that the club management are putting pressure on in private but, this hasn't been confirmed. The manager has hinted about it in press conferences but, has said that he's been told not to question referees if he wants to avoid punishment. Two players have spoke out in public, Sagna being fined for a tweet and now Yaya has raised the question. Has fans we cannot be punished so we can say and do what we want. A few posters on here are saying that they have had enough and will not be renewing, a great shame that they are taking this extreme step, I can certainly understand it. Personally I will not be going to anymore FAC games until this unfairness is sorted out and will write to the FA to tell them why, I'm sure they wont give a shit but, if all City fans were to boycott the FAC next season then they might take notice, especially if we can get the City fans in the media involved to put our case in a fair way. Thoughts?
Self inflicted??
Here's a break down of shite decisions and i've not even had to think hard to come up with it.
Leicester away, even though we were shocking we could/should have had 3 or 4 penalties.
Everton away, Sterling brought down at 0-0, no pen awarded.
Arsenal away, Monreal last minute.
Spurs at home, no penalty for foul on Sterling, they then score from breakaway, offside goal.
Chelsea at home, well where do you start??
Rags, Ibra should have seen red for assaults on Ota and Kolarov.
Rags in the cup, pen for foul on Garcia, not awarded, foul on Otamendi in build up to their goal, again not given.
Saints away, pen for foul on Sane, not given but doesn't affect the result.
Liverpool, fouls on Aguero and Sterling in same incident, neither given yet they get dubious pen.
Then there's yesterday. I've had numerous rags say were robbed plus even the 1 Arsenal fan has said he thought there were some dodgy decisions against us!!!
I've not even mentioned all the fouls against Silva not awarded and which have allowed team to kick him off the park or the lack of yellows for fouls on us, How Kante got away with it at Stamford bridge i'll never know.
Now no doubt someone will come on here and tell me it all evens itself out, how Sane was 0.00025mm offside v Arsenal at home and we were lucky to win, well i'm sorry but that's all bollocks.
We're getting shafted every big game we play and i'm expecting the worse this Thursday.
It's a fucking miracle we're in the top 4.

You know what got me thinking yesterday at halftime Ferdinand said if he was out there when the linesman guessed at the cross from sane once the whistle had gone for halftime he said he would have been running down the tunnel to confront the linesman,we seem to have players who maybe just shrug their shoulders and accept it,the deed was done but maybe fronting the cnuts up will make them think twice we are to nice as a team..Yep at their place.

But hey ho just a fan who knows sod all ;-)
