Ref Watch

[VP81]

Feel for Moss. The game is so quick these days, and he covered every blade of the centre circle.

What did he do ? Lie on his back

I was shopping in my local garden centre earlier today. They sell some powder you can sprinkle on the grass that is "Guaranteed to to get rid of Moss". Can't understand why City's groundsmen don't use it on our pitch.

 

[birchvillablue]

Had better refs playing at u16 grass roots than this fat fucker, how anybody thinks he is even capable of keeping up with play and possibly even making his best guess, or is the fat **** just bias and bent, who knows...

 

[Sir peace frog]

The biggest pile of shit, the reason the penalty wasn't given was because the referee didn't make a clear and obvious error,

the ref didn't think or didn't see a penalty, the var after watching it thinks the ref didn't make a clear and obvious error even though it was a clear and obvious error

 

[WNRH]

I think Moss is incompetent. However, that particular scenario tonight is all on Martin Atkinson more than it is Jon Moss.

The fact that Foden stayed on his feet most likely swayed the decision for Moss that it wasn’t a pen.

Martin Atkinson has had several angles, slowed down and still came to the decision that it wasn’t a pen.

Every single referee is incompetent but VAR is worse because it’s still their fucking mates!!

These referees are a team and a close knit group, how many times can you keep saying to them “nah you’ve fucked up there, decision reversed”

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

You're right its corruption nothing else to add to it. As for the foul you were referring to was on Gundogan blatant push two hands on the back with the fat **** waving his arms as if nothing happened. They are being told what to do no doubt about it.

and when you have hinchcliffe saying “foden wasn’t kicked” and the least convincing angle shown the most, you know it’s institutional corruption.

Pep just called them out for it “var didn’t see the foul because they want a title race”, he’ll be banned for that now.

Fuck em. I only wish the club would win the title and chuck it in the trash, LIVE and on sky, to prove a point.

 

[MCFC1993]

I can't remember the last time I saw a worse decision than that, when you factor in VAR, that was one of the worst ever.

 

[SWPISHOME]

There is simply no way that the penalty decision can be justified, by anyone.

Dermot Gallagher will clear things up on Ref Watch when he explains why it wasn't given because it wasn't "clear and obvious" bullshit.

This whole season of VAR decisions against us along with the ones given to the other lot for nothing all boils down to one thing...

We all know the the FA want the Rags winning the title.

 

[oakiecokie]

Moss was absolute dogshit for a number of decisions but in his favour I have to say that the pen could have been given one way or the other.
However the biggest corrupt fuckers are those at Stockley who knew exactly what they were doing in NOT awarding a blatant penalty.
Corruption at its worst !!!

I think that's the first time we've ever heard Pep giving out about the officials it takes alot for him to do that normally ge doesn't want to talk about it.

No doubt he'll get a ban, May as well throw in a points deduction whilst their at it seen as that's all they are short of doing.

 

[Sir peace frog]

2 penalty shouts v Southampton

1st martial floored by Southampton player, penalty given player red carded score at the time 6-0, VAR agrees with the ref,decision stands, a decision that gets overturned during the week, why didn't Var see it, or did they

2nd penalty, you saw it tonight, clear and obvious penalty, how can they get both decisions so wrong with all the help, it can only be corrupt and I'm or was firmly in the no conspiracy camp


BENT AS FUCK

Apparently Atkinson was fourth official and Andy Madley was VAR fuckwit

 

[bluwes]

The penalty was a shambles and I thought it’s corrupt, but there was a foul afterwards, I think on Bernardo(or gundo possibly) where two hands went into his back and pushed him right in front of Moss and he acted like it was nothing.

they were under orders tonight.

expect a pattern in the next 4 games.

I'm hoping that the amount of adverse publicity this decision has received tonight, apart from Hinchcliffe, they might just decide to leave us alone the next few games

I think they thought they had a free shot tonight. Early midweek kickoff, champs league games too. But they severely overreached with how blatant that was.

But .................. OLE and Shaw got away with their critical comments so the precedent has been set. Or am I being naive?

 

[Leeky]

This is why players go down easily, as your more likely to get a penalty and players who try to play on, get fuck all

He did go down, but he got back up again

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Moss has been woeful today. Fucking chump!

The VAR refs were even worse - they saw everything.

 

[cleavers]

they were under orders tonight.

Of course they were, when it's City they're all under orders, only we can stop it, by doing what we did tonight, be clinical in front of goal.

I said this when VAR was been introduced.
It’s just jobs for the ( old ) boys.
What else can you do with an old referee ?
