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

[Prestwich_Blue]

I'm sorry but that Tiote decision was a cracking one.

It was plus everyone stopped for that Sterling one apart from Sterling.

 

[Corky]

I'm sorry but that Tiote decision was a cracking one.

Yeah he dummied it last second, the ref had the line of vision and consulted with he lino to make sure the correct decision was made.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I've just ordered the Halsey book from the library so will get to see what he says but someone has said that there is a story in it that Anthony Taylor declared an allegiance to the rags when he was appointed but someone at PGMOL told him to change it to Alty.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

 

[The blue phantom]

I'll give you some other stats about Clattenburg reffing our games. From 2004/5 (the first time he reffed us) to 2008/9, our league record in games under him was P9 W7 D2 L0 and that's with a crap team. Since 2009 that record has been P25 W10 D8 L7, against a total league record of W142 D43 L43. If our record under him had mirrored our league record then that would be P25 W15 D5 L5. So on that basis he has potentially fiddled us out of something like 12 points. You can work out what some of those are:

Potentially 2 at Bolton in 2009/10, when he wrongly sent Bellamy off in a 3-3 draw;
Potentially 2 at Fulham in 2011/12 when Dzeko was fouled in the lead up to one of their goals;
Potentially 3 at Chelsea the same season, when he wrongly denied us a penalty when we were 1-0 up;
Potentially 3 at Liverpool in 2013/14, when he should have awarded two penalties to us and sent Suarez off.
Potentially 2 at Arsenal in 2014/15 when both their goals were preceded by fouls on City players and we were denied a penalty for handball by Wilshere.

And then the two Spurs games last season where we might well have got at least a point in both.

And why is the split between those years so important? Because in 2009 his mate, Thaksin Shinawatra, was completely removed from the club.

So what are you getting at. What do you think is happening regards the FA, Refs and whoever else regarding our club?

Maybe instead of coming up with every decision which has gone agaisnt us and dissmissing everyone who comes up with favourable ones we've had.

Just spit it out why there's a full on campaign to stop us.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

None of those incidents were in the 2011/12 season which we're talking about.

So in a year where we may have benefitted, we ignore it? Can only remember this one from 11/12, although Vinnie could have been penalised at the corner where Edin got the equaliser against QPR.
Spurs (h) 2-2, Ballotelli not sent off and then getting and scoring the winning penalty.
I don't think referees don't make monumental cock-ups and that some of those have a detrimental effect on our results as some of them benefit us. I just don't believe there is a conscious, preordained series of decisions to do City down.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I'm sorry but that Tiote decision was a cracking one.

It might well have been but, had it been the other way round, it would have gone into folklore on this forum as further 'proof' of the great conspiracy.

CAN WE START BOOING THIS ASWELL

 

[1961_vintage]

The attacks on Reyes by Scum against Arsenal, reminded me of the treatment SWP got in a Etihad derby a few years ago. Think Sir Baconface liked to target certain players and instructed his teams to do so knowing that they could get away with it.

I think Silva and Stones are likely to be similarly targeted next week.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

With the new rules on dissent, we need to be careful if our players are targeted, that we don't go remonstrating with the ref in the heat of the moment, hopefully Vinny will be back and he can eloquently ask for our players to be protected!

 

[SWP's back]

they worked around the rules by changing the name of the offence he was booked for

So they broke their own rules. And you think that's a good thing.

Another to add to the list.
