City vs Bayern Post Match Thread

[aguero93:20]

Of course not. Some people are unable to take time off work during the semester and fly half way across Europe to attend a game. I was, however, watching it in a bar full of plastic Austrian Bayern fans, the only Blue there. That gave me the benefit of being able to see the TV replays instantly after each refereeing decision, allowing me the opportunity to form my opinion. An opinion by which I stand - the referee was still poor.

Or is this one of those questions where I'm automatically a lesser Blue because I don't have a million loyalty points or a season card, or don't go to many games, so rendering my opinion completely irrelevant?

No,no I`m not one of those fans who slags of other City fans who don`t go to a match and obviously your place of abode has a bearing on that.
The reason I ask is because you (by that I mean TV viewers) along with tv commentators have the luxury of cameras at every angle,replays,etc,so you can see when and where a ref makes a poor judgement.
However having been to all of Citys CL home games over the past 4 years,I felt overall that the officials did a very good job and should be given some credit.
I can guarantee,that had we lost,the members on Blue Moon would have been in meltdown and accused the ref for our loss,as it happens after every defeat,the poor officials are always the first line of attack.
Give `em a break.They were some of the overseas best officials to have tried to be impartial,something which has not happened too often in our CL games.

This is, again, just my opinion, but could it be actually be the case that everyone thinks the referee had a good game because he's being compared with previous refs with whom we've all had problems, and were blatantly bent? He was definitely better than the others, of that there is no doubt. But I can't agree with the general opinion that he had a good game, as there were, for me, still far too many questionable decisions.
I'm just glad we won anyway. Hopefully we'll see a snowball effect now.

Yep, Alonso got away with 5 or 6 very late challenges without being booked once, whereas Zab was booked for his first tackle (after winning the ball) Lampard (?) penalised for Lewandowski's high foot, Neuer not booked for throwing the ball away in a huff when we were given a corner (would have seen him sent off), Clichy's yellow was utter bollocks, Lewandowski's goal should have been disallowed as he elbowed Sagna in the face to stop him challenging for the ball..... Not corrupt this time yes, but not competent either.

clichy took a swing at boateng's leg and connected! dont see how that can be anything other than a yellow card

and that's never a foul for their 2nd, he's just stronger than sagna

PMSL.

Even funnier is the fact he's from Romania. Probably only ever been in Rome to pickpocket someone.

lol, brilliant.

He raised his elbow towards Sagna's face and it connected, he should have been sent off.

Typical rich team supporters. You can say all you want but this was the most obvious fixed game I have seen in years. Just score the goals in the last minutes, how convenient. And after 3-2 teams weren't even trying and then seeing all the c**ts hugging eachother after final whistle. Boateng is a former City player isnt he? says it all. Always the big teams shitting themselves whenever an underdog comes to play football with passion. I can see the germans throwing the last game too for big russian money. But no matter you wont win in Rome. 70000 true supporters waiting for you.

Did you see the goal Roma let in vs CSKA in the last seconds ?

Obviously they were bribed by the Russians to throw the game. Nobody could be that shit.

Are you Paul Scholes?

I'm still laughing at the irony of a follower of Italian football accusing teams from other nations of being corrupt.

Only just got around to browsing this thread, and am surprised by the number of people who thought we were poor. We were very good up to their first goal, I thought, and played with far more intensity than we have at any stage in the CL this season. The two goals were awful - in many ways epitomising our tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot in Europe with stupid mistakes. Second half, Bayern kept the ball better than us, but that was hardly unexpected given that (i) they're a fantastic passing side (with 11 or 10) and (ii) we were missing arguably three of our best four passers (Silva, Yaya, Fernandinho). Second half I felt we were also let down a bit by our second key weakness in Europe - the lack of a top drawer wideman. Against 10 men, that's where you often make it count, but we played those crucial first 20 minutes of the second half with Navas and Milner out wide, neither of whom is likely to pose much of a threat at the top level. After that, we kept going, got a bit of luck and made it count.

Some interesting decisions to make with regards the line-up against Roma.

This "king Totti" fella is a typical Italian.

Full of piss and wind.

I expect a full retreat is imminent.

Wow it's interesting to see everybody cheering up after a blatant fixed game. Check any italian football forum. So obvious, two gifts in the last minutes. Bayern shame of Europe! it's not the first time they do it for the money, check UEFA cup against Zenit where some Bayern players got bribed. How comes they didnt play vs City the way they played vs ROMA, Guardiola fielding bullshit kids and bragging what a professional he is always going for victory. And City is no better for pulling this rigged shit, FUCKING PATHETIC. We may not be among the big teams of Europe but we have pride. Oh and you wont be welcomed in ROMA!

I hope you're reading cretino, do you think the game in Munich was fixed when Bayern won only because of fluke shot in 91st minute.

Maybe, just maybe, you were bit shit that night in Rome when you conceded 7.
