Guardiola warned over Anthony Taylor comments

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Maybe warn the media not to ask him leading questions!!

The press wallahs at City should know that as soon as 'referee' is mentioned at a press conference the answer is "Next question, please!"

fa are trying to look for a way of fining him, pep is far to good, he wins games, wins trophies for the Arab owned team, how dare he do this.

Pretty much sure that if in the next 12 months they cant fine him for nothing they will do him having brown eyes

Or that fuckin' jumper he had on the other day!

Same punishment as the **** who told us to go fuck our mothers on camera, or words to that effect, I reckon if they hadn’t let peg off, Pep would have been fined, banned or both..
good news though regardless ..

It was Mullock (Rag) - Tried to justify himself on his twitter feed saying it was an issue and should have been raised and it was fair of him as a journalist to ask the question.

Whoever was representing City and Pep at that conference should have stepped in and simply said "Pep won't be answering questions about referees - its against FA rules thank you."

It's all so simple, an organisation our size should be able to see it.

First heard about this yesterday on TalkSport "Pep escapes punishment after his comments about the referee and how he will manage the match" - Sounds alarming to the average fan who doesnt know what was actually said! But what gets me is that someone in the TS news office has to actually work out the best words to use, they have to have the thought of how to spin something negatively against City (For whatever reason).

Maybe is was strategic from City and Pep? If so I’d expect a Footie Leak soon!

Mullock is right, it is an issue. He should have asked PGMOL though not Pep. For that reason he is just another spineless hack.

I fully believe it was strategic, I'd even go so far as to say the question was planted and Guardiola had his answer prepared so as to highlight the issue but not imply bias.

Mullock is a Blue.

Or possibly the organisation did see it but it suited our interests to discuss the referee, in this instance, and risk a slapped wrist?
