Getting away with one??

After yesterday the world has pretty much spoken that it was a sending off for Milner.

It was an error or whatever you want to call it. It certainly wasn’t a 50/50 or even 80/20 decision that went against us.

So when was the last time we truly got away with one??

Literally against PSG in the week. Then Southampton before that. Bellingham last season against Dortmund.

The list goes on.
 
Some bottom of the barrell scraping here. Let's face it we get screwed over all the time and it's been going on for 10 years plus. Oliver's performance in the Chelsea gave me a glimmer of hope we had turned a corner but Senor Ballbag in the PSG game and the Hairy armed sh*thouse against the dippers tells me it was no such thing. Scrapers gonna scrape though.

Wrong question. Refs can make errors. On Sunday we had a series of decisions all favouring Liverpool....not isolated individual single errors.

Pep was right to lose it. If it was Klopp, Fergsuson or Mourinho they'd have all exploded.

How many times does this happen to City at Anfield? Why does the media never ever question this? Every fan outside of man Utd and Liverpool know that this is what you expect at Anfield and OT

We’ve done well to get a couple of penalties in the last few years at klanfield, not that it mattered , the pair of them spot kicks were shockingly executed.

common sense tells me that a stamp on someone's head would leave a trace.
If contact was made, as the usual city-haters insist, the "wound" would have been on everything from rolling news to Jakanory ffs.

Up to people to make their own mind up as to whether he meant it or not. Only Mario can answer that.
 
Just off the top of my head we have had some bad decisions go against us vs Liverpool

Pen in a league cup at Anfield against Richards for handball
Pen not given for handball against skirtel last min... might have been the 3-2 game in 2014
Champs league game at Anfield pretty sure we had a goal wrongly disallowed a pen not given and Liverpool scored an offside goal
Champs league game at home Sane wrongly disallowed goal for offside
 
Would have to go way back, nearly an entire week to find an example of city getting something favourable. Kdb should have been sent off in Paris.

I know we like to believe there's a worldwide conspiracy where teams who have historically despised one another all team up just to screw City but its pure fantasy.

We get plenty of dodgy decisions go our way they just don't stick in the mind because we want to forget them and don't feel a sense of injustice.

It's true what pep says about Anfield and old Trafford getting all the decisions but we also get decisions go for us against smaller teams there's just a food chain to it people just get angry because we're not at the top of it, Liverpool and united are and have been for 30 years.

As was mentioned above Bellingham against Dortmund last season. We got out of jail big time. Pep may not have got to over think in Porto had the ref not had a brain fart that night.

Yes you're right - I somehow airbrushed that out of my mind :) I think we would have won the tie anyway as we beat them fair and square in Dortmund. But it certainly would have been more complicated, no question.

I've seen way worse tackles vs. KDB himself go unpunished. Dele Ali, Puncheon to name but two - no attempt to play the ball; cynical, violent. KDB played and actually got the ball. He could have got a red, but would have been harsh IMO compared to where the line is generally drawn.

As for your final paragraph, we are talking about big games. Comparing clear "errors" against us vs for us in big game, are you seriously saying it is even close?

Mentioning worse tackles that wrongly went unpunished doesn't lessen the kdb foul. Playing and getting the ball has little influence anymore. You can argue the rules are harsh and I wouldn't neccesarily disagree with that but the rules are there and by those rules It should have been a clear red card. He got away with it and if it had been Gueye on kdb there's not a chance anybody here would even begin to defend it.

You're missing my point with the last bit. We, along with everybody else might get screwed at Anfield or old Trafford but lets not pretend smaller sides don't also get screwed when they come to us and those sides in turn will get favourable decisions against lesser teams. Favourable decisions for the home/better sides happens everywhere. You can't be outraged at a decision against us at old Trafford but perfectly happy to accept a similarly poor decision in our favour when we're at home to a relegation threatened side. Seems most people aren't pissed at the inequality, they're just pissed we're not top of the chain benefitting the most.

The same question to you but slightly different. Seeing that liverpool got away with a sending off and the non penalty. When was the last time we truly got away with two in the same game.

Im outraged you imply the rags are a better side than us.
 
Earlier in the game where Adebayor scored that goal and did the infamous celebration against Arsenal, he stamped down on van Persie’s head and should have been sent off.
 
In our last two games:

de Bruyne should have been sent off in Paris, that’s a red all day in the modern game.

Bernardo could easily have been given a second yellow for his trip over on the far side late on in the game against Liverpool on Sunday.
 
Against QPR a couple of years back, when our angelic ex player got sent off for a 50-50 challenge on Tevez.
Enabling us to scrape a result.
Can't remember if there was any significance to the match though
