Four weird decisions all against top four

[dennishasdoneit]

I think some of the blame for the poor decisions yesterday should be placed on the shoulders of the clown of a linesman ( dugout side) . If you watch the clip , he as a clear view of it, but that wasn't the first time in the match he failed to flag for a foul/freekick for us, Welbeck clearly played the ball with his hand in front of him , which he didn't or didn't want too see (Marriner seen it and give a freekick), but in the second half he managed to see City players offside on the other side on the pitch a lot of the time (which sky didn't reshow, so don't know if he was right or wrong) !

Well observed

It's not just the PL. Against Monaco at home we should have had a pen at 1-0 and their keeper sent off with about an hour left to play

In all likelihood we would have gone on to win the match by a margin big enough that even we couldn't balls up in the return leg and we wound now be in the q/f

Well said

its now gone to far and how can you not be up in arms (pep)

they are not small mistakes they are blatant mistakes ??? its simple the calls are coming from the top to stop manchester city why or what else could it be. big games we are sold down the river and the red card count and club fines are all there to see this season and to top it off how many BIG CALLS are waved away when city have a shout for something it got to a point the manager and players and fans stand and laugh its that shocking any other manager and club and players would walk off and say fuck it

we know who runs the premier league and skysports and the team that can never do anything wrong it fact they sing about doing what they want ?????

Exactly. Fuckin spot on mate.sick of it.

Hopefully, the end of season DVD will have a special "Bonus compilation," like the blooper reels on a movie DVD, entitled, "You be the judge!"

Wouldn't be "in your face" to the authorities, but it would definitely get some attention! Pay the fine out of the DVD proceeds!

I am watching bundesliga highlights. Ref is being interviewed and is explaining why he didnt give a penalty. Very civil

This is part of the issue. Refs are untouchable here. Imagine if after the game marriner was interviewed after pep and arsene and said yeah i got three wrong, navas walcott should have gone and it wad a penalty at the end. From where i was i thought it didnt touch his arm.

Then wed be much more accepting i feel. Hard to go down the only human route when they are so complety protected.

Also linesman are pointless. Very few make a decision without ref giving it first

Or brushing things under the carpet that allow certain teams to compete. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ball-league-financial-fair-play-investigation

Yes it did seem unfair how Leicester went out and bought any player they wanted while we're buying from the bargain basement with the likes of KDB, Sterling, Otamendi. You could probably find similar articles about us.

There were quite a few inexplicable decisions in that round up like the hand ball and Hoffeheims penalty so it's not unique to the Premiership. The speed of football, the number of decisions, is just to much for one ref. The sooner video technology the better.

It will never happen, partly because the press cant be trusted to interview the refs in a sensible manner. They'd be asking questions like "when did you last have your eyes tested?" or "do you expect to be sacked?" rather than having a sensible discussion.
