It wasn't three, it was around tenOne bad decision I can take but three in one game is over the top. The club have to ask questions.
1,No hand ball because the defender had his hands close to his body! So now according to that rule you can defend with you elbows tucked in & your hands spread facing the ball.
2, No Penalty on Phil Foden because the foul wasn't classed as a yellow card! I Didn't realise the challenge had to warrant a yellow card to get the penalty, nether the less the defender is reckless with studs showing. If that challenge happens anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul.
3, The VAR offside decision for their second goal is very suspicious! To the naked eye the Newcastle player looks offside and when the automated still is shown to the fans you can clearly see that the line has been altered. Why is Dias on the still frame shown to be jumping in the air when he didn't & when did the rule change so that a defender can be playing an attacker onside with his elbow?
The relative 'ease' with which we pick up a yellow card is stark compared to opposition getting one. We will pick up card for complaining about a poor decision whilst opposition choppers are jsut penalised with a free kick. Just ask Bernardo!Other managers after that ankle breaker in Foden would of come out full guns blazing with “that tackle could of ended fodens caree” then going on about seems players against us csn foul us 4/5 times without a booking where as we do 2 fouls we get booked!
No.They should absolutely be doing it IMO - this wouldn't be dipperesque sour grapes (one thing that doesn't go their way in amongst a sea of favourable decisions), city were thoroughly shafted on Saturday and it needs highlighting and forced into the media. It won't change the result, but it might make the cheating twats be not so so brazen in future matches.
The media have a go irrespective. Time for the club to go on the front foot and insist an explanation or are we happy to continue being shafted in important games?No, it would give the media even more reason to have a go, plus nothing will come of it anyway
Leave your sexual peccadillos out of this.Fuck the media
It was justified in itself but laughable, as you say, in comparison to the similar Newcastle ones he conveniently ignored.The Bobb booking was laughable in the context of what had gone unpunished before
It would lay down a marker to referees which is why clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and United do it. We need to stop looking like a push over. We need to ask why Craig Pawson did not call the referee to the monitor. The same thing happened with the Rashford/Fernande incident at Old Trafford. We are not robust enough with our communications all round. On the train after the match I didnt hear from a single Newcastle fan who didn't think it was a penalty on Foden. A wild mistimed studs up lunge is always a foul on any part of the pitch. Why didn't the ref actually watch the video. The club should ask for Pawson (and Attwell for the swamp game) not to be involved in our matches. We need to be on the front foot. Being passive gets you nowhere.The PL, FA or the media don’t give a rats arse about City so it would be a total waste of time
