he is actually worse than Mendy.

A great deal worse. At least Mendy tries.

bent.

Horrible bunch. From booing the guard of honor to booting us up in the air until the 95th minute. See you next season - hopefully @ the Etihad around May time to send the fuckers down.

I said it yesterday and I will say it again having lived near Brighton most my life I can confirm most their ‘fans‘ are actually Liverpool or United fans and have Brighton as their local side. Small time wankers can’t stand them they acted like wankers at wembley as well

The sending off changed the game and Brighton are a passing team very well equipped to take advantage of their numerical superiority. And there, in the 9th minute, the game ceased serving any useful purpose for City. The officiating was beyond a disgrace and Moss took VAR to a whole new level of shame. VAR now exists for no other purpose than to tell us that we cannot and must not believe what our eyes have seen perfectly clearly. No fans at football matches then this bunch of cheats to welcome them back.

What was suprising was that the commentary team kept referring to decisions by Jon Moss. It was clear that he was in charge and not the referee Atwell. Why didn't Atwell check the Jesus "penalty" himself? The whole process is bent. It also seems clear that the VAR team are being influenced by the broadcasters who seem to be leading them to review certain incidents and not others.
Who provides the images which he VAR team use? Are the VAR officials also watching the TV coverage simultanously? The system is corrupt. They are treating supporters with contempt.

It's a meaningless statistic. We have probably conceded 95% with Ederson on the pitch, or 75% with Dias on the pitch.

I'm not excusing Garcia, because I don't think he is very good. But the statistic in itself is irrelevant. It wasn't Garcia's fault Cancelo got sent off.

 

[Akira]

Remember Kante's non-penalty decision against Sterling? Yeah that was Stuart Atwell on VAR. Guy's an utter clown.

Forget the Cancelo red card
Forget the fouls on Gundy
Forget the pen on Jesus
We should be all in on the wrap around out of control tackle on Jesus, the ball was long gone, and the Brighton player had left the ground to commit a foul, that was played as an advantage to Brighton!! One of the worst decisions I have ever witnessed, yellow card & a City free kick. I’m sure Despot Dermot will explain away all 3 of the above decisions with “he got it right, but it’s wrong, var had no choice, so the correct decision was made because the law states clear & obvious blah blah blah” this decision exposes every other in the game, but because of the timing, where it was on the pitch and it’s City, it will be considered insignificant & get no coverage, when in reality it exposes a shocking truth of incompetency & possibly corruption

Now City have got good at putting things like that out of their minds the last couple of seasons, but last nights 'performance' by the referee was hard to ignore; he was relentless. From the moment Gundo put us 1-0 up he started, and he never let off. We were cheated last night. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. That was corruption.

The early doors non-foul foul on their keeper when his own player caused him to drop the ball was also glossed over by the BT pundits, yet it had a noticeable effect on our players. That's the thing that people often don't realise about corrupt/incompetent referring is how it alters the mindset of the players and ultimately their performance.

Match thread was full of people slagging of various players last night. Garcia bore the brunt of most of it, but take into account the Cancelo sending off for literally f*ck all, and you can bet that was in his mind every time he challenged for the ball. Same with Rodders and Dias. Gundo went off early in the second half because he knew that if he stayed on he was just going to get kicked again knowing the ref would do f*ck all. It was reminiscent of the Arsenal v Rag's game in 2004 where the Rag's took it in turns to kick f*ck out of Reyes.

Something truly stinks about last night.

I was at the game and never heard the booing of the guard of honour - in fact the crowd as far as I could see stood and applauded your boys onto the pitch - and rightly so.

Don't normally comment on refs as they have a difficult job but f*ck me that was a abortion of a job. Apart from the non red card for joa, non penalty on Jesus, non red card on Mr whippy, there were countless mistakes. The one that so obvious that he is bent was when Jesus was felled by a Brighton player and he put his whistle to his mouth and blow for a foul and realised it was would have been a city free kick and decided to play on but blew as soon a fern committed a foul a few seconds later. Bent as fu*k.
