I'm getting to the point where I can't listen, read or watch anything nowadays. I've not seen anything on yesterdays game (apart from the game itself) and I'm getting annoyed just reading the quotes you lot are putting on here. The worse thing about it all is I'll go to work tomorrow and all the plastics will be spouting it word for word when they haven't even seen the game, and calling me bitter when I don't agree, these twats in the media have a lot to answer for!
Exactly! It wouldn't bother me in the slightest what the journo's and pundits say if it weren't for the fact that thousands of plastics take whatever these idiots say as gospel (even some of our own support I'm afraid to say).
I don't know how or when it may change but the bias we are witnessing in every facet of the game is beyond belief. In the face of it all, it makes our achievement last season all the more astounding.
As I said to a mate last night, with the referees whenever it's the rags the mindset is;
Decision for the rags or us;
Rags - could i get away with giving this?
City - could i get away with not giving this
Decision against the rags or us;
Rags - could i get away with not giving this?
City - could i get away with giving this?
Therefore, whenever there is any type of marginal decision it 99% of the time goes against whereas the rags it 99% of the time goes for them.
What ive noticed is that the expectancy to get decisions has infected the rags crowd to the extent that last night there were loud appeals for penalties that couldnt even be described as marginal. I suppose that their 5th penalty in 5 games would have started to make thingst ridiculous. The rag players think that if they throw themselves to the ground it should be an automatic penalty. The thing is, i dont want to see city win by getting stupid decisions but the rags dont seem to care, its win at all costs for them, but for me, winning by cheating is a hollow victory.
