Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[blue b4 the moon]

Noticed Hooper didn’t look at Haaland when he shuck hands after the game, same with Pep when he was fourth official at Bournemouth. Odd bloke.

You spelled shithouse wrong.

How Boly escaped a yellow card yesterday is beyond me.

My guess was that Forest were the last ones to touch it before he blew and so technically it was still in their possession even though it had been booted towards City’s end. However, I also noted that after the drop ball they still booted it into our half and returned possession to City and wondered if it was by arrangement.

No we had the ball and we’re building up play from midfield. Also when the same happened the other way he gave the ball straight to Forest

Looks like he has put eddie out for the rest of the season , refs getting protected or not changes depending on the colour shirt you wear

And Alan Smith wanted a penalty for Forest.

He followed through on him, and it certainly looked purposeful. That was about his 4th or 5th agricultural challenge, and I seem to recall him making a couple more after that.

Ref seemed shit scared of booking them.

Probably related to the shitstorm Forest created after last weeks debacle. Extra lenient on them.

Boly could easily have had 3 cards.

Shocking ref last night, PIGMOL doing their hardest to stop us winning the league, I expect an even worse display from the ref at the weekend. If we are to win the league we will need to beat more than just the 11 West Ham players

His oddity as a bloke is almost unnoticeable compared to the oddity of his reffing.

Let them kick the shit out of phil in particular , another **** in black and that is just his bank balance , allegedly

Yep Haaland won the ball just like there player did against Akanji guess what he couldn't wait to blow his whistle against Haaland but let the Akanji foul go!

Do you really think if Son score that on the 88min this referee would have added 10mins! It would of been 6 max

Anyone have any links to a good site for referee stats. This Robert Jones seems a homie type or totally shit like most of them. TIA.

John brooks on Sunday I believe, anyone know what our record is under him, I heard we lost 30%, which is a very high loss rate for us, if true

We don't get homies, never had! Refs morph into 'homies' as soon as they see a bank of red shirts behind both goals!

Haaland is in the same 'boat' as Dzeko was - 99% of the fifty-fifties went against 'em.

Not sure what to make of Brookes for this game, I'd have expected a more high profile appointment.

Have the powers given up on stopping us in the league or is he low level enough to be a patsy?

There's definitely no paranoia at blueb4themoon towers. ;)

If you look at the so called better refs for this week, it's Oliver and Attwell as VAR at Arsenal, Hooper and Tierney at Brentford v Newcastle, Pawson has the rags, Taylor has Chelsea, Madley has Spurs and Kavanagh is reffing his own team in Klipperty's farewell. So where there may be jeopardy in the final European places they have placed the more high profile refs. We have Brooks as I presume they have given up trying to stop us and want to try and manipulate a European spot for a certain team. If that doesn't happen via the league keep an eye out for bizarre decisions in the final.

You don't half worry about the ref! This could be the 4th title in a row, they've done a shit job of fucking us over so far, relax! The last two were corrupt as fuck and yet we got penalties in both and generally the games were devoid of controversy. A couple of fouls here and there we might have got, that's always going to be arguable.

He's only overseen 7 games (6 in the league). We've won 5 and lost 2.

The two we've lost - Brentford away last season and Villa away this season. Nothing to see there.

Be happy it's someone obscure, it means they're expecting a procession and have put the big guns elsewhere where they feel more is at stake.

At least I hope!
