Tbf - I thought right away that the ref delayed the obvious yellow because he suspected it could be red. Fair play to him on that, although like Jenas I thought his reluctance to give free kicks around the box was borderline cheating. Overall, I think we were reffed fairly tonight - errors were not exclusively against us - although the lack of free kicks around their box is still puzzling.

We wasn’t reffed farely but the perception is changed because they got a red. There was so many fouls given against us that wasn’t a foul and so many times we were told to play on.
But it wasn’t horrendous either.

In the good old days when the BBC covered England's home test matches ( cricket ) all 5 days. The old 5 nations. Flood light Rugby league, Pot black in black AND white. Sports night with Coalman. All day F.A cup final build up with its a knockout, hotel and coach interviews. Grandstand with the gee gees in between other sports. F.1> and various other motor sports and now we are left with the bastard boat race and bastard Wimbledon ffs ;-)

An we still have to pay the licence fee (well most of us).

BT were once very anti-City. I think that they are much more balanced than they used to be. Their punditry panels reflect this change. I don't see a problem with Darren Fletcher. He's a good commentator.

I agree.

I had guy mowbray, Clive Allen it was a pleasure.

They were very good and well balanced.

Haha yeah, had me laughing that one, strange he more or less admitted we where fitter than them, don’t know if he was alluding to individual players fitness (Mbappe/Veratti) or the fact we ran them into the ground

They certainly faded in the second half. Same team next week with big rotation for weekend.

Jenas and BT have obviously had a word from someone after the previous round’s nonsense

Pity tonight's ref wasn't given a word also...Surprised he even gave a foul on Gundogan.
You're right to something must of been said.

Racist - same level as banana boats & curry munchers, can’t believe they keep getting away with it when he him can be offensive.

I agree. Race hate.

 

[bluealf]

Ask him if he wants to leave his position at the BBC and become Man City's PR then?

What is the matter with you?

Honestly we bitch like fuck about bad press and then moan when somebody says something good lol

I won't deny we need a better PR presence though

Guy Mowbray always comes across as very balanced and fair. Clive Allen wasn't at City that long but is generally pretty positive about us.The club, or at least the fans seemed to make quite an impression on him.I'm sure I recall him once saying that the bond he had with the City fans was the best he had at any club he played for.

Disgraceful from a national institution. Especially kne that been done for racism and peodophilia in the past

Yea well said, but if you don't know by now the BBC aren't the national institution they used be. Just another shady propaganda media machine who hates City and anyone who's not Tory. FUCK em

Just seen that. He'll still be commentating on our games though no doubt.

 

[ROCKET80]

David Hytner's match report in the Guardian is good.

Surprisingly just focuses on the match, no snide little digs about money, or oil, or state owned, or human rights etc...just a report on a game of football, which is all we ask.

Even Barney Ronay managed to get through a report without any digs.

How did he respond to our goals ? If a honey of it ?
