The referee was as bent as they've come this season - see the mistaken identity, non-foul on Yaya, Clichy's handball and his whole obvious burning desire to don a CSKA shirt for the 90 minutes. Oh and I also forgot, do we not play added time in the first half now or?
You missed the dreadful (two footed ?) lunge at Milner from 5 yards away, which he hurdled fortunately, he might have had his leg broken had he not, player didn't get the ball, and they got a throw in. One of the most blatant cheats of a referee I've seen.
And were discussing clear contact on Aguero in the box, and some blues are calling him a cheat, f*ck me, its sad.
I could not believe the lunge at Milner wasn't even a free kick. Apart from the "handball" for their first goal where the CSKA player obviously kicked it against the hand, there was also when Yaya took a free kick where the ball was still moving; the ref seemed to allow it until he saw that it had gone to Zabba in a decent attacking position and then he stopped play. I'm not saying he was a cheat, but it's what I called him. As for the Aguero "dive" what do MotD pundits always say when it's not a City player brought down? "You can't go sliding in like that, and .... was entitled to go down". As for contact doesn't necessarily mean foul,
no contact doesn't necessarily mean
no foul (as with the lunge against Milner). If it's done in a careless manner and it's a trip or an
attempted trip it's a foul. The second penalty shout, from where we were it looked like the defender had got in front of Sergio before the legs tangled. Not a good view but it's on the official highlights on mcfc.
