Clattenburg, the FA & Adebayor - proof that the system is bent

[Pleatfooted]

The only ref who I've thought has been on our side over the years is Mike dean.

He's not now, joke pen against sterling!

 

[The blue phantom]

He's had his fair share of head scratchers against us don't you think?

I'm just curious, is he and other refs sat down and told to ref city matches dif to other teams?

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Was that the Everton game with the two clear handballs that should have been penalties?
We were sat in the Everton corporate section and they were pissing the,eselves at the injustice

I will not disagree that we sometimes get the shitty end of the stick but that is very different to a concerted effort, by all parties, to do us over. All fans can all point to matches where they didn't get a decision but it is only ever done from a 'City got robbed' perspective. All I'm saying is, is that we might not be quite as badly done to as some people think. For example: Penalties awarded and conceded in the PL since 2010/11.

Arsenal 27/29
Spurs 28/24
Utd 35/19
Liverpool 39/26
Chelsea 41/18
City 46/15

That's only because we didn't have time to concede penalties. The ball was usually in the back of the net, already ;-)

why's a rag jumping to our defense? Don't like it, he won countless trophies because of the sort of thing he's now criticising.

Why doesn't he own up to the rest of it, eh...

I don't think the rat is jumping to our defence. He's dealing with the Halsey claim which happened years ago and the hype that brings. His point is about the fact that them on high appear to be massaging the opinions of the refs and not with the refs.

Not a peep about the blind man Marriner not seeing this one.

Nah, you're not curious. You're one of those smart arses who just because they can't comprehend something might be true would rather go about making out everybody is crackers. Nobody said anything about sit downs but the evidence is there we get a rough deal. I'll leave you to it.

 

[blueincy]

The penalty Clattenburg gave last season when the ball hit Sterlings back against spurs must be dodgy as fuck as well.

We have been by far the best team in the premier league in that era, and also with the highest possession stats so why would that be a surprise?
However I'd like to see a break down of how many of those penalties for came in easy wins and how many against/denied were in tight games

Your stats say nothing and have no real context

make no mistake sky are desperate for the rags to win the premier this season. the augero ban is just the start.

The non penalty against Chelsea which would have put us 2-0 up still irks me now. We started the season on fire and that game seemed to knock the wind right out of our sails. No surprise who the ref was that day..
