Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Bournemouth (02/11/25)

[69FACUPfinal]

This reffing is getting ridiculous every week. Anytime we are in the box, slightest thing a defender goes down opponents get a free kick. I'm truly fed up of it.

 

[TinFoilHat]

That's a penalty if you're a red shirt

 

[glyntowen]

Our corners aren't actually looking too bad, winning first header every time just need the follow up

 

[platty7]

Taylor is going to give us fook all bent twat

 

[ufo]

fuck that would be given against us

 

[East Level 2]

Handballs from crosses in the box should be indirect free kicks just like everywhere else on the pitch

Indirect like elsewhere? Which sport?

 

[CrazyDžeko10]

Taylor is a bald ****. Such a punchable face!!

 

[N1985]

Absolutely fucking bent. Every fucking week. Fuck this.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

I’ve never seen anything like this. The referee is pulling out all the stops vs the home team

 

[theholysmurf]

I’m usually apologetic to refs, but fuck me this is an absolute howler.

 

[malg]

Didnt think ricochets mattered any more?

I thought if it came off a body part then onto the arm it wasn't counted?

 

[deano ou812]

Being stitched up again and guess who’s involved a ref who should be no where near our games after the Chelsea game a number of years back at the Etihad

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Why the fuck does Doku need 10 fucking mins on the ball when he receives it 12 yards from goal?

 

[Don Karleone]

Fucking cheats

 

[jamielowndes]

Its not a handball if it deflects up off his leg. Ffs. Take the rose tinted glasses off.

In defence of the majority, it's not blatantly obvious that it hits the knee without VAR slow-motion.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Taylor playing a blinder for Bournemouth

 

[mick10]

Is nothing a handball anymore

It came off his knee onto his hand. Didn’t they change the rules about that? Not a penalty I think. Might be wrong but I think they did.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Get on their keeper ffs

 

[platty7]

Taylor just trying to wind our players up giving soft fouls to them

 

[malg]

Why aren’t we arm barring their keeper now?

Yep.
