Referees' Performances | 2025/26

[give it to gordon]

Should have been a red which would have meant him missing the next 3 games

 

[Micky Blue]

Missed the pen and the red card that would come with it. Saw haalands shirt ripped off him and doesn’t book the player, then books same player for a red card offence that would have ruled him out of arsenals run in. Disgusting performance from Taylor who should be demoted next week

He should be sacked.

 

[AlthamBlue]

Should have been a red which would have meant him missing the next 3 games

Bent as fuck that decision.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

That was one of the worst ref performances I’ve ever seen.
The handball and red not given, nothing for ripping Haalands shirt

But the best was the head movement towards Haaland.
That’s the clearest red you will see all season.
Ref is right on it too.

I hope city make an official complaint.
It was blatant cheating from Taylor.

If only there was some kind of video ref that could look at actions missed by a ref

He was fine bar the butt. We got the small decisions. He just let himself down with that pivotal decision. I can guarantee Arsenal fans will be fuming.

 

[Sky Blue]

Fuck me. Corruption, saying this after a win.

 

[jamielowndes]

Gabriel not being sent off for the headbutt was absolutely atrocious. Referee was completely abysmal.

 

[p.taker]

Samir Nasri is going to feel aggrieved having done the same thing and got a red card.

Samir and the other one thousand players that have been red carded for the exact same head butting motion

 

[Micky Blue]

Haha yeah, would have helped us out in the FA cup final too with Hendersons blatant cheating.

 

[domalino]

Gabriel not being sent off for the headbutt was absolutely atrocious. Referee was completely abysmal.

He also should have been banned for the next 3 games.

Normally I think it's pointless but I hope the club kick up as big a fuss as possible. 2 violent conduct red cards missed, and the same fucking VAR that sent off Martinez and banned him for 4 games for a hair pull.

 

[give it to gordon]

Why didnt var check it ,

 

[RayCTID]

Did his best to assist Arsenal. The missed headbutt was an absolute joke.

 

[hertsblue]

We know what we are getting every time that Rag, under instructions from PGMOL, refs us and today was his typical “fuck City” performance.
Mourinho was right about him, and this season its more evident than ever PGMOL wants Arsenal to win it.
A severe complaint about him and var should be put in tonight.

 

[Dethred]

This was the season the league decided to hand the rags every single decision and gave bacon face his retirement gift, but they still give reds every time for that. We have VAR now and suddenly it's not a red?

 

[Bantamgaz]

Why didnt var check it ,

Out on a tea break ..........funny Mike Dean trying to defend it until he got a proper look even that daft cant defend his pals

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Just another in a long line of new rules when it comes to City.

There can be no doubt that we are treated differently.

Incredible!

 

[TinFoilHat]

Why didnt var check it ,

Scouse **** on it.

I'm surprised the twat didn't send off Khusanov for the Havertz dive, I'm sure Webb will have a word.

 

[TinFoilHat]

****

 

[Mayor West]

He was fine bar the butt. We got the small decisions. He just let himself down with that pivotal decision. I can guarantee Arsenal fans will be fuming.

I thought i was going crazy. He had a great game apart from not sending off Gabriel, he constantly didnt guve arsenal fouls for launching themselves at the floor, didnt fall for their tricks. Overall a decent game.
