Clattenberg..(Crappenberg {merged})

Re: Clattenberg..

first prize for most deluded blue tinted glasses wearing post ever, rag like attitude following a defeat

from the last three league games we have got much more decisions for us than against, anyone who thinks otherwise is either kidding themselves or is a numpty

Deluded I don't think so, I just don't swallow what the media tell me.

Happy to debate with you.

Lets take the Blackpool game.

Their disallowed goal. Was their striker in an offisde position and did he make an attempt to go for the ball, had he stood still and not made a move for the ball then the goal would have stood as he didn't then he is rightly flagged for offside. Goal disallowed

As the rules state A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
• interfering with play or
• interfering with an opponent or
• gaining an advantage by being in that position

Its quite clear that the Blackpool striker was certainly guilty of two of the above.

Tevez first goal - debateable - his feet (from the replays I saw) were actually behind the player when the ball was played across, his chest was arguably in front but you can see why the linemsan may not have flagged. When in doubt the advantage goes with the attacking player.

Tevez second - the guy clearly tripped himself up yes Tevez was harrying him but the guy was a lump and wasn't expecting someone like Tevez buzzing around him and so tripped over himself.

Those were my honest assesments of the above decisions nothing to do with blue tinted glasses but my view. They were by no means clear cut. Irrespective we would still have beaten blackpool.

As for today. The rule on a sending off actually states:

denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick

He was the last man but there is no way that Chamakh was denied a clear goalscoring opportunity, he had simply knocked the ball straight into Harts arms. That, along with flagrant challenges for Arsenal not being booked - basically biased refereeing - was an absolute disgrace. But as usual nothing will be said and nothing will happen cos its City.

you are entitled to your opinion even if i disagree, all i am saying is that because we are blues these decisions that some of you think are debateable are more likely to be more clear cut to a neutral, i base my opnions on watching the games not on media hype so that was a low and incorrect statement on your part.

watching the newcastle,blackpool and arsenal games i feel we have no complaints about the decisions and feel we had a lot of luck in two of those games, and as im a blue i would imagine neutrals with no grudge to bear would see things more my way than yours

Re: Clattenberg..

Boyata definetly deserved to get sent off no complaints about that one.

Is it just me or does anyone else think, Denilson two-footed challenge on Tevez deserved a red? Personally I thought it was a horrible challenge and the intent was there.

How Denilson stayed on the pitch anyway is beyond me he commited foul after foul and handled the ball twice, Twatenberg let him and afew others away with it big time today!

Re: Clattenberg..

What did you want him to do? Sending off and the penalty were nailed on.

I wanted him to be fair to both sides but he never has been fair to City.
Think back to this game last season when he lied adout his booking of Ade.

the ref was never going to send an arsenal player off, he always always cheats us out of points.

Re: Clattenberg..

I'm not going to whine about the ref, the sending off was just about right, the penalty was.right.

However, I maybe wrong about this but when Djorou (sp) (no 20) got booked, I could have sworn that it was Song that committed the foul. Not 2 mins after he'd been booked. Couldn't miss that blonde bombshell.

Anyone correct me with this?

Hi, I dont normally write on here, just tend to have a look and see what peoples are opinions are but I just I'd add to this, I also noticed the Djourou booking and I also could have sworn it was Song did the foul, a few other people have said the same to me. Does anyone know what happened here

Re: Clattenberg..

Somewhere down the line we'll be discussing decisions that have gone in our favour,
Put it behind us and move on, full credit to the team on their prefomance.

That aside, the man is still a TWAT

Re: Clattenberg..

I personally believe that the sending off was correct and the penalty, whilst weak, could have been given. However, what angered me most and the majority of city fans it seems, who were in the stadium, was the 50/50 decisions that seemed to go Arsenal's way. This is summed up when early in the second half Boeteng was blatantly pushed off the ball by Chamakh who then went on to set up Fabregas who narrowly missed. Easily a foul but wasn't given, that summed up the referee's performance.

Re: Clattenberg..

He was right re:boyata (letter of the law, but seen it not given) and the pen(great save joe) . My main bugbear is that song shouldv'e walked, and that once their 3 mids got booked Johnson should have been on to get one og=f em off and level it up.
