Is the club going to put in an official complaint about the officiating on Saturday?

They should absolutely be doing it IMO - this wouldn't be dipperesque sour grapes (one thing that doesn't go their way in amongst a sea of favourable decisions), city were thoroughly shafted on Saturday and it needs highlighting and forced into the media. It won't change the result, but it might make the cheating twats be not so so brazen in future matches.

The PFA should certainly be doing/saying something about potentially career-ending tackles like that baboon Schaer on Foden.
 
I think that was a typical performance from the officials that we have seen over the last decade or so. Makes all the trophies we’ve won even more remarkable. I’ve got a feeling that Pep’s parting gift to us will be to finally expose, beyond any argument, the clear anti-City agenda in FA, UEFA, PGMOL and UK media.
 
Under no circumstances should we lower ourselves to the level of the whining victim dippers.
One bad decision I can take but three in one game is over the top. The club have to ask questions.

1,No hand ball because the defender had his hands close to his body! So now according to that rule you can defend with you elbows tucked in & your hands spread facing the ball.

2, No Penalty on Phil Foden because the foul wasn't classed as a yellow card! I Didn't realise the challenge had to warrant a yellow card to get the penalty, nether the less the defender is reckless with studs showing. If that challenge happens anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul.

3, The VAR offside decision for their second goal is very suspicious! To the naked eye the Newcastle player looks offside and when the automated still is shown to the fans you can clearly see that the line has been altered. Why is Dias on the still frame shown to be jumping in the air when he didn't & when did the rule change so that a defender can be playing an attacker onside with his elbow?

Can't we leave that sort of stuff to the mard arse sore losers? I like to think we're better than that
 
We should. It was a daylight robbery. The dippers cried about 3-0 defeat, we should absolutely complain about 2-1 defeat where we didn't get 2 obvious penalties, opponent got an offside goal and Schar + Tonali not only didn't get a red card but weren't even booked!
