Fulham (H) | PL | Post-Match

[Colin Bells Boots]

Bernardo lost the plot because he had had his shirt pulled when running by Reed who had a minute before been booked. The referee saw it and bottled it and waved play on because he knew by the letter of the law that he’d have to book him and show him another card. That was the referee’s worst decision of the game and infuriated more than just Bernardo.

Think he had too many personally to single that one out.

Totally useless **** and dipper supporter too.

Every single one of them stood up today. All of them should be very proud. You could see it meant a lot at the end - I can't remember City ever doing a lap of honour when it wasn't the last day of the season. I usually do a player rankings post but I won't bother today because judging any of them wouldn't be fair. Winning with 10 men is a big achievement. Well done to all of them.

Fully agree. Brilliant second half from every single one of them.

From the bbc: Fulham will feel hard done by​

"Fulham came within seconds of claiming what would have been a draw that few people gave them a chance of getting at kick-off.

Not for the first time this season, however, Marco Silva's side exceeded expectations. Their penalty and Cancelo's red card were a huge help of course, but Silva stuck to the same plan to keep his team compact and hit City on the break even when it was 11 men vs 10."

This narrative is fucking insane. We were 1-0 up on our way to an easy victory and they never fucking threatened us once. It was a thoroughly deserved victory and any suggestion otherwise is a fucking mental point of view designed for other teams fans to feel frustrated.

Hahaha wait until match of the day,the highlights should be interesting probably make it look like a smash and grab from us with Fulham having us under the cosh from the sending off ..

I do wish we'd give over with the bent refereeing whinges.

The ref was crap today, obviously, but the Cancelo decision was inevitable and he awarded us a softish last minute pen. How much less bent is it possible to be?

If you look at his overall game everyone can see he was bent as fuck.

Perraira raking Rodri achilles which should and could have been a red, then Bernie gets booked for complaining about constantly being fouled. Whilst Fulham continued to leave a foot in and committ foul after foul without punishment.

Just because we got a softish pen (in your opinion) doesn't mask his total incompetence for the majority of the game.

yeah i know that, i'm just glad he was able to pull himself back together because i thought he could have got himself sent off by that prick

 

[blue whippet]

Hats off to Fulham; tried every trick in the book - fouling, time-wasting, diving, harassing the 4th official etc. Particularly enjoyed their putting their little warm-up cones up in our half after the break and disrupting us getting in position - genius!

Indeed, makes it all the more satisfying that they lost the game, that we beat them, because we thoroughly deserved too.

Any vids of pep at the end ?

Go back few pages mate.

All of the other ones he gave and VAR either rubber stamped or overruled. That one, however, he deliberately chose to ignore because he knew the consequences of stopping play. That’s what is so infuriating. Once he gave Fulham their penalty he had to send off Cancelo by the letter of the law, yet by not blowing up and booking Reed again, he chose to ignore the letter of the law, which is why I think it was the worst.

Bernardo was not the most pissed-off person in that ground today, not by a long chalk. Amazing performance from him, and from so many others. Fulham, though. They were a man up for an hour, and played for a cowardly point. Got everything they deserved.

I have. Give me a clue ;)
