What's your job title at uefa is it gills fluffer by any chance
The first of three yellow card offences by Digne, imo, and he should have had one on the totting up rule so I make that four yellows missed for one player.
Spot on.....I noticed the t**t having a sly look to see where Otamendi wasSame for Busquets. I think the decision that irked me most was that little bastard Suarez pulling his favourite (and thoroughly dangerous) trick of backing in under an already airborne defender, so that they then get jack knifed into the turf head first over his shoulder. Suarez of course then falls down too pretending he's been climbed over. He did it to Otamendi late in the game (even to the extent of looking round to see where Otamendi was first, so he could time it right) and of course the ref laughably gave Barca the free kick
To be fair, you don't add on time for goals being scored unless the restart is significantly delayed. No added time at all is a bit unusual though.Probably been mentioned already but he blew up for half-time bang on 45 mins, despite two goals having been scored. Funnily enough, City were all over Barcelona at the time and looking most likely to bag a second goal. Although I'm sure that had nothing to do with his decision ;)
Did you notice the block by Suarez on John Stones when he was trying to attack Daves free kick. That's why he was protesting to the ref after the half time whistle blew. Suarez had him round the throat. They really were a set of cheating bastards.To be fair, you don't add on time for goals being scored unless the restart is significantly delayed.

You and me both mate - he should no longer be refereeing after what he did to us in that match.Tell that to Martin Atkinson, yes I'm still pissed off over that.
Yup. He had a clear view of all those decisions and intentionally made biased calls. No chance in hell that he made several mistakes with a poor view. Or that he didn't want to award early yellows and let a clear early yellow go for that reason. After all, no ref has ever, ever, made multiple mistakes in a match - so mistaken calls are clearly out.If you show bias you cheat. He should make calls on what he sees not for which team he prefers. In the first 15 minutes he made biased decision after biased decision and then settled down to only a few biased ones. The fact he's got 24 pages, which I've not read all of, tells you about his performance.

Oh shit that fucker .
:-)Oh shit that fucker .
Now I remember that cvnt.
Agreed but I don't trust any ref these days. He may or may not be a cheat but if he keeps repeating mistakes after mistakes than it is obvious to raise question regarding his integrity.:-)
He may have had previous screw-ups against City, but that's far from him being a cheater.
IMO, UEFA management screwed up here - shouldn't appoint a ref with prior bad games for one-side or the other in a match as important as Barca v. City. Nothing good could transpire.
Far better to let him ref us in a meaningless game or not to ref us ever again.
Touche.Agreed but I don't trust any ref these days. He may or may not be a cheat but if he keeps repeating mistakes after mistakes than it is obvious to raise question regarding his integrity.
Touche.
Which is why I think that UEFA management totally screwed up - ridiculous to put the ref in position to possibly make repeated mistakes (in the sense that he already screwed up the last match he referred with us) and then come under intense scrutiny.
Agreed that some subtlety would be in play.I would be surprised if the ref blatantly cheated, however, if he had, he most certainly would not have given Barca every decision & every pen or possible disallowed goal.
He would try to do it more subtle way, such as exactly how he did it.
It was very, very subtle, given the final score.....I would be surprised if the ref blatantly cheated, however, if he had, he most certainly would not have given Barca every decision & every pen or possible disallowed goal.
