Ref Watch

[Bluearmy]

F#cking hell. football really is bent as f#ck.

Talking to a pal earlier we laughed about what good old Dimwit’s take would be, saying between us even he will say its a pen. Kind of in disbelief but should have known better.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Got as far as Warnock running up to help poor Dermot....even the sky guy was pissing himself.

It's disgraceful that the old fucker can just lie and still get paid.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

That's .... nope, I've got nothing.

I'm not even sure Gallagher believes himself.
No idea what Warnock's input adds either.

If the best Gallagher could come up with is "2-2 in the studio, so not clear/obvious", then he has no argument.

 

[blueinsa]

You actually couldnt make it up. No wonder the refs are as bad as they are if this guys see’s a replay of that and says no foul. Clearly lacks any understanding of the game at its most basic level.

He understands perfectly well it’s a foul and a penalty but chooses to just tow the line for his fellow corrupt cunts at PiGMOB.

Sky giving them a voice is shameful.

 

[Mike N]

Anthony Taylor, by the way. He ‘missed’. two clear penalties. It’s not the first time his performance in a City game was ‘odd’.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Seeing that the ball was at chest height was he booted Jesus what the fuck was his leg doing there anyway. Bit like handball, if the arm is dangling out everyone asks why. What was he blocking and with what. Warnock and DG are grade A fools. The fact that Taylor missed this and the one he eventually gave is the more worrying. Kept on not giving fouls for when man mountain Antonio flung himself to the floor but never booked him for simulation. Odd how the smaller, lighter man kept on pushing over the heavier and taller one. Only thing to his credit was the booking of the keeper after an hour although it could probably have been dome in the first.

 

[Bluearmy]

It's clearly not a lack of understanding though is it ?

Touché

 

[citytill1die84]

He's absolutely pathetic. How can he stand on live Television and say that shite?

Yep, was being too kind to him with my lack of understanding comment

 

[HypnoticBlue]

The bit where herr dermot says "well I don't think he kicks him" but also says there's definitely contact, so that's not a contradiction then is it?
If we actually scored our penalties then I would expect our owners to sue PIGMOL if we don't win on Sunday.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Or the other option, after the first disgusting stitch up, var had to intervene to save the alleged good name of the premier league. If they hadn't every fan (bar dips and rags) would have seen how corrupt our football is.
A well run business would not allow themselves to be put in the position they are on a regular basis. They would not allow Taylor anywhere near a Manchester match.

It took them forever to decide on an incident that pretty much everyone else had seen clearly. Probably trying desperately to find an angle that introduced doubt. Couldn't do it .....

That was a joke. Sue Smith and Warnock helping him out. It makes no difference now but they can’t even bring themselves to say we got a raw deal. Pathetic

 

[Odd socks]

And next week it will all be dippers lost title because ref didn't give Everton a handball, never hear the one he didn't give Everton against dipperpool.

 

[Daz-Simp]

If tomorrow's result wasn't going to affect their plans because they'd just pick the best refs for the job, why wouldn't they announce the ref picks for Sunday today?

But if it’s all a plan to stop us then they’d just ignore the pen? Var came good, we shot ourselves in the foot. There’s isn’t a single way anyone can say the pen was given as some backwards way of stopping us. We score the pen and title won,

 

[hertsblue]

I expect it will be OLiVARPool. I was leaning towards Tierney but I suspect he'll get the Liverpool gig.

They'll need to manage our match to give the dips as much help as possible.

Dippers wont get Tierney as ref. They moaned to Riley about him mid December after their draw v Spurs (didnt moan about him not sending off Milner of course) but since they moaned he has not been ref since for them as they have Riley etc in their pockets

 

[Bandofblues]

Sky giving them a voice is shameful.

Just another tactic to try and legitimise sh*t decisions

 

[Bandofblues]

But if it’s all a plan to stop us then they’d just ignore the pen?

Would have been far too obvious after blatantly ignoring the earlier one

 

[HypnoticBlue]

We score the pen and title won,

That's what worries me, we've handed them a chance again, I hope we're not looking back at that missed pen by Sunday night.

The fact Sky have this should tell you all you need to know. Dodgy decisions by the ref or VAR, brushed under the rug by the partisan commentators depending on whether it favours their team, and then the likes of Gallagher just to throw the rug out and wash any controversy away.

It happens too often not to be scripted.
