Haha, I wondered if anyone would pick that up. :-) we better fuck contest that red card. Surprised that Jelavic's studs didn't leave blood stains in the back of Kompany's calf.

I think the quality of refereeing in our last two games has worried us all. I would hope that the refereeing of the away match in Barcelona - according to UEFA the highest profile CL match of the season with the single exception of the final - will have alarmed everyone everywhere. I'm not accusing the French ref of being biased or corrupt, but he was certainly incompetent to a degree which forces us to ask why on earth he was ever selected for a game where his inability would inevitably be highlighted in front of a huge TV audience.
We've had "issues" with Lee Mason for some time but on Saturday he continued a trend begun in Barcelona - a clear foul on a City player culminating in City being reduced to ten men. On Wednesday I was forced to ask what decisions the ref actually got right, and Mason forces me to ask the same question of his performance. He made a complete mess of the Kompany "incident", he then made, if anything, an even bigger "mistake" in deciding that Elmohamady's assault on Silva - outrageously high, all studs planted stiff legged on David's shin, with not even the vaguest intention of playing the ball - was worth only a yellow. Is this the latest UEFA directive? Crippling an opponent for life is less serious than depriving one of a goal scoring opportunity! Then a Hull player goes down under a non-existent challenge from the 'keeper to try and win a penalty. No yellow card for him, but Joe Hart's anger is on the same level as Elmohamady's offence. Yellow for both!

I can't add anything to that, and totally agree with you.

Make that three games. Anthony Taylor was awful in the Wigan game too.
I don't get it. Why on earth can Anthony Taylor from Wythenshawe ref a Manchester team. He has to have some bias one way or the other. Clearly not in our favour. It's nonsense to suggest he has a preference for a non league team and no leaning towards red or blue.

The ref who took our home 1st leg against Barca, reffed another European tie I was watching recently and was excellent.. Ithink it might have been SPurs v Napoli.
He operated different standards in that game. He was excellent in that game. Did he just have a bad night at the Etihad, because he was obviously a very good ref. It wasn't incompetence

Re: "Lee Mason. Oh Dear"
For me it is not the big decisions that matter as much as the ongoing decisions/ none decisions. Dzeko could not challenge for the ball without mason blowing up, then VK gets studs raked down his calf and a push and he let's it go. We were pulled up for every 50/50 thought the game. They got away with loads. This has started to happen a lot to us. Means we cannot play our pressing game nor can we get any momentum in our passing game. Job done. Refs can play fair on the big decisions ( the penalty) so as not to draw too much attention. Note, he did not book the hull player for diving, or send off a hull player after the Silva tackle.
