Hoffenheim (A) Post Match Thread

I'm not fishing. every City fan in the world probably shouted pen, but I doubt any were really convinced until they watched it back. Ref has to be sure.

Ref was sure so should have booked Sane. This is what a proper CL referee does.


Wonder if Guardiola still looks as surprised.

Utter utter bollocks as usual. Go on, explain the decision behind pulling the throw in back

Kompany, Silva Aguero just so pleased with them, would have preferred Zinko at left back, but to win despite that tool of a ref was pleasing in itself,
well done lads.

Aha, Dunny has it right - the ref has 'missed' stuff for City! 'Tis an Irishism for blatant fuckin' cheatin'!

Hard fought win after a poor start. Should have won by 2 or 3 though due to some poor finishing and abysmal refereeing. The denial of the Sane penalty was simply blatant cheating. Great goals from Sergio Aguero and David Silva.
Job done!
We need to play with the formation we finished with against Liverpool. Moving Stones in as a 2nd pivot stopped Hoffenheim from having a sniff.
Shocking refereeing to deny City a penalty for the keeper bringing down Sane.

MOTM: Sane followed by Silva.
Moment of the match: Sane running back 40 yards to defend a Hoffenheim break away. He must have been running at world record pace to get back. Phenomenal.

Rarely post... especially on match day when things aren’t going well... but really what was that ref all about?

Stone wall penalty aside his constant deliberate interferance to disrupt any flow to our play was like a cloak of dishonesty throughout the match. It’s almost like we were ordered to play at his pace when we were in the ascendancy but when they had their rare moments on the break, decisions and urgency were instantly applied to help them on their way.

We should write a calm and documented response on his performance to UEFA on why we don’t want him near the field officiating our games to apply some pressure.

Thank God for Spanish Dave...

I’m not one for conspiracy theories but the penalty he didn’t give for us was as clear as they come. Sane got to the ball be fore the keeper and the keeper wiped him out.

Walker could easily have been sent off too but we got away with that one

Agree with both penalty and Walker but could not be bothered writing it tonight. Ref was shocking tonight and not a clue what his issue was with the throw in.

Why did Sergio get a yellow after final whistle ?

He better not have, was already booked wasn't he earlier

 

[Bozo]

Honestly don't think I can remember a worse referee performance than that.

Does he fuck, he has to be RIGHT and he was very fucking wrong,
