Fulham (H) | PL | Post-Match

We will always have problems getting penalties while referees (and VAR) continue to reward the fall rather than punish the foul.

More importantly will we always have problems scoring penalties.

Kev threw himself to the floor after being fouled. Fuck all wrong with that, just ensuring the referee made a decision as you know he would’ve just waived it away if he’d stayed up.

Ref was a turd all game, Kev left him no choice.

Our players don't dive (and I'm proud of that) - but if we get fouled in the box make sure the ref fecking knows it and go down hard but not so hard that it looks like a dive. In the East Stand I was directly in line with Kev being fouled - pen all day long - he made sure the ref knew and we couldn't be screwed over.

That is such a wasted comment. Rubbish? What was? You, your lazy comment? The team? The referee? I have to deal with people like you alll day long that make my life more complicated than it needs to be. If you're going to make a comment, please, please give us some context - otherwise it means absotely cock-all. I've been as polite as
i can be.

It was a joke pal

Just watching MOTD. How does the TAA foul differ to our one yesterday…. Push in the back and no attempt to play the ball?

The difference is the colour of the shirts. A Bluemooner called it right prior to the Dipper kick off saying expect some help for the dippers from refs as the media can’t have both Yankee owned red clubs not making top 4.

Have a look at the thread comparing the two.

"but the rule book sates" means it is now possible to totally back up bent decisions.

To send off cancelo was wrong, what is next the rule book says if you score a goal on your birthday that is disallowed.

well done ref and those in front of VAR for trying sway a game.

Watched the full game back this morning after being there and I didn't realize the workrate of Bernardo in the 2nd half.

He was fucking everywhere. It was like having two Bernardo's out there

Surely he must of beaten his own record for the most KM's run in a match

Also big shout out to Kev who in the last 25 minutes really took the game by the Scruff of the neck

Both phenomenonal performances

Did you get the stats?

 

[MadchesterCity]

Triple jeopardy.

Sextuple jeopardy

Penalty, sending off, suspension, reputation and lost FF points and FF ownership

His hat wasn’t the first my eyes were drawn to.

My friend was asking if she has an onlyfans page, he is struggling to find her name or other photos for his project

Cheers. I was at that game at the Emirates and still forgot Eddie's penalty save!! Was that the match a few days after we tonked them at Wembley in the League Cup? If so it was an absolutely perishing cold night and blowing a right fucking gale. An Arsenal ST holder texted me at half-time and said he didn't go as he knew we'd hammer them again.

Yes mate

You mean keeping their bet slips in play ;-)

Watching a pretty damn similar foul by arnold not penalised by the very same darren dipper England, fucking stinks!

Anyway the boys had to dig deep against a pathetically defensive Fulham who had no ambition whatsoever. The officiating kept them in the game with their cynical fouls, diving and time wasting.

First half I thought we played some great stuff and very proud of Alvarez finish. Soon as Cancello got his marching orders it got tougher. Bernie is tigerish and Gundo showed his passing. Stones played well and the defence got better.

Of course the thermostat was turned up to maximum by Kev. He grabbed the second half and was everywhere. The forwards who came on were opposites, Erling daring the cottagers to match him, Phil not convincing for me. Jack started off well but became a peripheral figure. Didn't think Nat had his best game either.

It was a penalty and yeah Kev probably exaggerated contact but we've seen the number of stonewalls we've not been given so fuck em. Could prove a pivotal 3 points CTID.

Always like a "So fuck em " thrown into a post :-)

 

[big gaz]

Weird how the goalkeepers wasting time has creeped into the game.

Yet I can only remember Eddie being booked for it lol.

Yes, I was sure I saw that incident in the match yesterday, but I think we'd better both sit down and take a few deep breaths. Liverpool would never do anything like that because FSG would put the club up for sale if they resorted to such tactics. Anyway, the match analyst - a certain Gary Neville - assured us that sending the Spurs player flying wasn't enough to justify a penalty. I'm sure I must have been seeing things anyway. Lucky the ref wasn't!

That paint the penalty spot incident was actually at The Baseball Ground in April 1977 when City were going very strong to win the First Division title.
Unfortunately we got beat 4-1 (I think) and it put a big dent in our title winning chances.
And I know because I was there.

Speaking or which new footage released of Sunderland v Derby at the Baseball Ground one wet Saturday in 1974

Nah, not having he’s not a learner, he’s reached the pinnacle of football, you can’t do that without learning a thing or two, you don’t have to be a physicist to be a footballer but you do have to have the right mentality, and he has it in bucket loads. Imagine being a winger, converted to a fullback/wingback, who has to act like a central midfielder, and be one of your teams main provider, then find yourself covering your centre half, that’s a lot of mental gymnastics. Pep demands a lot from his players, and I’d say his expectations of Joao are very very high (quite rightly) you’re right about the brain farts though, but in mitigation he’s played too much football

I was going to say, any player who is getting regular minutes for us a) has a super high football intelligence b) is doing what Pep asks from them and c) works hard in training.
