Andy Madley performance

[The Future’s Blue!]

Job done.

Then walked off at an angle so it took him longer to get off the pitch! Do they realise how much of a knobhead it makes them look these players?!

That was just cheating and the useless officials allowed it. It was also to enable him to get back into position quicker when waved back on (he walked off half way into their half from near the centre circle) which was fuckin instant btw.

Everton really took the mickey out of Madley yesterday, I'm afraid.

My favourite incident was when 3 Everton players all sat down at the same time with 'injuries' ... then after a few moments, two of them realised that they'd overplayed their hand and 3 simultaneous injuries in different parts of the pitch looked suspicious, so those two jumped back up & walked quickly away (absolutely fine now, of course) ... leaving one to keep groaning on his back.

All the while, Pickford was roaming around out of his area waving his arms to get the ref's attention & stop the game.

Laughable.

Madley lost control of the match. He was made to look a fool by the Everton players who were the worst English side I have ever seen in terms of cheating by feigning injury and wasting time from the first minute to the last. This is an ugly side of football which has started to take over in the PL. It's not sour grapes because Evertom deserved their point after their wonder goal but referees have got to get a grip on cheating. Bernardo deserved his card for diving as well.

Probably trying to rub salt in but Howard Webb has just announced a clamp down on the games time wasters, you couldn’t make it up. As Pep always says, we’ll do it on our own. I hope yesterday has given the players a kick up the ass, and made them realise we are in a title race with Arsenal, we need to stop obsessing with the scousers (unless we draw them in CL) and throw the kitchen sink at em. Now is the time for Pep to stop fannying around and produce a settled line up, our strongest eleven

Imagine the shit storm.
If a fan base brought a class action against PGMOL for impeding our chance of being entertained having paid good money for tickets.
Ah well,just a thought.

Why didn't we win in normal time instead of waiting for injury time?

FFS

 

[Revolver]

As inept or unwilling the ref was dealing with Everton’s time wasting I may be mistaken but I didn’t get the impression our players / coaching staff were protesting to him about it.

 

[Bozzie]

Unfortunately ‘neutrals’ won’t be neutral, they’ll revel in City being on the receiving end of some shithouse refereeing and so Madley, PGMOL and Everton will walk away without the scrutiny their performances deserve. Forget it’s us and look at it objectively … it’s so fucking frightening that it really cannot be attributed solely to incompetence (which would be serious enough). It’s game management from the officials and that should scare the shit out of every football fan because you don’t know when it will be your team on the receiving end. Everton came with a game plan and that was to prevent City building up any sort of momentum by constantly breaking play up, wasting time and premeditated shithousery. That’s where, for the good of the game and out of respect for the 50,000 paying fans, the referee needs to do his job and stop it happening. It was bloody obvious from minute 1 what was going on so Madley should have been all over it and nipped it in the bud.

I would surprised if a player in the Premier League indulging in blatant time wasting has been sent off be it via a second yellow card. So it’s hard to combat sadly.

What was annoying is that the ref yesterday did absolutely nothing about it.
