I like this,.....

With the man city owners now paying referees all bets are off. We know the lengths they've gone to to cover up payments.

We can try to give the officials the benefit of the doubt that they weren't paying attention, but what happened on Saturday was deliberate.

1. They were bribed or blackmailed (who knows what these immature, egomaniacs get up to on these trips). With the UAE and Saudi now paying the refs, this can't be ruled out anymore.
2. They were making a deliberate point in a high profile game related to their pay. 'Pay us more and we won't have to travel and be jet-lagged before important games'.

Either way, everything is now pointing to their actions being deliberate. I don't know if Webb is also being paid to allow refs to travel over, has anyone asked him? We now have to wait for them to release audio which may or may not even be from the actual match and then try to brush it under the carpet.
 
Liverpool now asking for the VAR audio recording - which is probably a good thing ... IF it means that the audio AND video for the VAR room AND the Ref's are made freely available to ALL after EVERY match...

Oh.. if only this had been pointed out by anyone, at the start of VAR, as being the best most transparent way of it working... oh.. it F****ing was! jeez. It takes a f*** up of epic proportions against Liverpool to finally get this back on the agenda... after so many bad decisions.

Love the fact that a match that didnt have anything to do with City has resulted in the huge number of posts. It's almost asif Liverpool were in your heads!!!
The whole tribalism and increased animosity between our clubs is something that personally disappoints me, but it also amuses me when so many go deep into it.

From my POV and in true Greggery Peccery style, talking about football.... The ref really only made one mistake.
That being the first yellow for Jota. The fact that there are no VAR checks for somethign so seemingly innocuous is perhaps a problem, but with his stupidity of diving in for that challenge so soon after. Well Jota left the ref with no choice.
Jones being sent off. No intent, contact with the ball, but even if his foot "slipped off the top of the ball", that means he was not in full control and with studs up. Well, that is reckless and red card was a cert.
As for the "offisde", well that was given by the assistant and once done then it is down to the VAR officials. Ads has been seen, it was them that made the error, with the ref actually just going along wityh what they said and what his assistant had indicated.

As for the statement and as has been said, I do think it has been very carefully worded. However, I dont see the litigation that so many on here predict going forward. For the simple reason that there is no way you can litigate for simple human error in relation to a football match. I see the wording more as looking to start a process where VAR as it stands is overhauled. The cynic in me when considering FSGs craving for money, makes me wonder if they have a share in the company that did the World Cup VAR system?

You're reading through every post on a city forum and we're the ones that are obsessed?

Anyway LFC throwing their toys out of the pram could have huge ramifications for English football and city so no surprised it's being talked about.
 
Replays, appeals against red cards, we want justice blah blah blah.
Let's just give them the league now but only on the promise they fuck off back to Dublin for good
 
this is a good un,...
The quietness of the various bodies at the moment makes me think it's a bit of a cat and mouse game of them wanting to know what Liverpool know and don't know, this will guide how they try to cover it up or if some heads need to roll and a few Patsy's need to be thrown out like Lee Mason when Man City paid the refs to stop Arsenal last season.
