Yellow for Silva obviously - being kicking shit out of the opposition all game.....or is that one of the twats in blue.
 
Frustrating thing is the penalty decision will be over looked as we lost 3-0. Had it been given, completely different game, especially as we were battering them at the time.

Saying that, defence is still fucking shite
 
Don't care what anyone says the refereeing in this country favours the dirty, unsportsmanlike style of play which is why a team who employ that style are clear at the top of the league. The fact that the commentators are lauding the performance of that kid who's been hacking at our players all afternoon proves it.
 
Its important that this thread isnt used as a post match thread because its about the ref and today, he allowed Everton players to foul at will with no sign of a card, booked Silva for his first tackle on Davies who would have seen a red card on any other day and refused to award us a nailed on penalty with the game at 0-0.

We are being done over right now by officials make no mistake about it.

Shock horror Silva got booked for what was indeed his first foul on a player who had committed 6 or 7 already and not received a booking

Completely irrelevant but he didn't even booking for running into the crowd after his goal. It should never be a booking but it's the rules so why not booked?
 
Surely the club recognizes that we are being done over by the referees. Hope the private detectives have been busy and a dossier is ready.

Fat chance. Everything seems to be accepting and bend over about City at the moment.

No, it was only a blatant penalty when you watch it in slow motion from other angles.
In realtime,it was a strange incident where you weren't quite sure how the ball ended up in the goalkeepers's hands.
Clattenburg wasn't sure, so he didn't give it.

As others have already mentioned, it was the persistent fouling, (without yellow cards), that was the real killer.

I don't want to give Twattenburg any credit but I kind of agree - it should've been a penalty but it was possible that the ref didn't spot it and perhaps just saw a coming together of 3 players. The persistent fouling though - especially from Davies - without cards being produced was a joke and lo and behold Silva gets booked for his first challenge on him.

I will add that Aguero was inches away from scoring in the first half after a clear foul on one of their players wasn't spotted.

To sum up, definitely some annoying aspects to Clattenburg's reffing today but it wasn't a patch on Taylor's utterly bent display against Chelsea the other week.

Regarding the pen think that Raz is getting a bit of a reputation of going to ground too easily till he mans up a bit refs will start to wave away his appeals
 
Davies shouldn't of been on the pitch to get his goal but that didn't have any bearing on the game as we were well out of it before that and that was all down to us.
 
Think Clattenburg acknowledged to Sterling something along the lines of 'My fault', as the teams were awaiting Lukaku to appear at the start of the second half.

I agree with this, and in any case it really had little to with the result, other than we probably would have gone in front early, but our lack of desire today was there for all to see, and also we turned to the petulance towards the end again, luckily today it didn't cost us.
 
United get another offside goal given, how surprising. Even Gary Neville alluding to United getting the late goals and "luck" with decisions this last few months but you'll still get a few saying nothings happening.

Got to disagree tbh, the game was very much in the balance at that point and if we get the lead instead of them I think we win that game. We are wank when we go behind, but if we go in front then we're generally pretty good.

It's more just the constant benefit of the doubt that goes to the opposition that is becoming impossible. It's a stonewall penalty, but the referees not sure so he gives them the benefit of the doubt, just as he does with various blatant yellow cards that would have put pressure on their constant fouling. It's the same every game, if it's remotely possible to not give us something then the referees will, but if it's us then the letter of the law is applied. It makes such a difference, especially when the game is still tied
