I would have to re-watch the match to check the timings but I still think 8 minutes was excessive.

Another incident not seen by the Bald Blind Bastard was when one of their players grabbed the shirt/shorts of a city player in the first half when he was bursting through the middle towards their penalty area.

He sees what he wants to see and makes the rest up, as a Club we should do more to out these incompetent fools.

...Bald, Blind, B...an alliteration of the highest order, love it!

Genuine question, why can't referee's match reports be published say on the FA's website? If there's nothing to hide then why not? Plus I reckon seeing a referee's reasoning would help their cause.

Also, fines for officials, losing their match fees etc needs to come into it. All this talk of officials needing more respect is bollocks, they're wrapped in cotton wool.

Whilst I agree, this was a cup match, how do you compensate City if they had got knocked out ? missing two league games hardly makes up for a semi final.

As an aside, I don't mind the dive as much as the fact Madely was in a very good position to see the incident. We have mentioned the Walker foul (alleged dive) very few have mentioned when Jesus was fouled and the force took him into the goalkepper, clear penalty and yet they got the foul.

This thread is not helping me feel any better, what an absolute travesty!
 
It’s time to bring the game to the modern age by taking the clock out of the hands of the 4th official and referee and have a transparent system. And video to review penalty decisions which continue to be ludicrous events of just plain guessing by the referee in many instances. Sendings off for divings during the game after video review and I guarantee you would see a huge reduction in cheating overnight. The lack of progress by FIFA and various FAs worldwide on this critical issue is appalling.
 
Yet another poor performance from Bob Madley yet again. What has he got against us. If that was a penalty when Kyle tackled Gray, then when Ilkay got tackled that also should have been a pen. Both Ilkay and Gray had slight pushes yet one was and one wasn't.

That’s what I initially thought, but I checked and we rang the changes after the Everton game and stopped playing three centre backs.

You're right that we didn't start with Kompany, Stones and Otamendi in those games but we definitely played in a 3-5-2 formation. Otamendi had a mare against Salah (even though he's been class apart from that) and I think that caused us to change more than anything, which was for the best because Sane is a much player in the 4/3/3 we play now.
 
Just seen the extended highlights and the 'foul' for the penalty looks even more ludicrous when yer see Tosin's header that went wide - he's nudged by a Leicester player with more force than took Grey down, and then Maguire's header to the back post - he swipes TWO City defenders out of the way with his arm. Just shows how much of a lottery decisions can be, and how fuckin' useless Madley continues to be!

There was no lottery here.

Thai owned team helped, in Thai sponsored cup competition ?

And funnily enough, when we were Thai-owned we had a superb record when our games were officiated by a certain North-East former referee.

Before we get carried away please remember that Carabao and Chelsea have a link. Bit like Arsenal in the FA Cup. In any other business it would be classed as a conflict of interest to have a competition sponsored by the same company that sponsors one of the entrants. And the winner of Daily Telegraph sponsored editor of the year award goes to....the Daily Telegraph editor... it just wouldn't wash so why are teams sponsored by Carabao and Emirates allowed to enter these cups?
 
Bloody hell. What a collection of clowns. We are in for a right royal going over from these - sendings off, fouls against us ignored, good goals disallowed.

I truly fear the worst from them. The problem is, who is any better?

I wasn't initially sure whether it was just pure incompetence, as he IS a shite referee, but for me, it was the excepton which proved the rule, when he gave a free kick against Leicester, late in the game, for some offence in our box, during a totally non threatening situation, but he 'missed' a whole catalogue of constant, blatantly obvious, wrestling moves, by people like Maguire, all game, in much more dangerous circumstances, when it looked like he might get a header in on target.

He didn't 'miss' those at all, he chose to ignore it.

Exactly. Maguire climbed up on the back of a defender at every one of their attacking set pieces and nothing was given. Was ridiculous.
