Mark Clattenburg

It's very weird as watching the TV games this weekend there seemed to be a lot of balls hitting hands in areas and no pen given, most I agreed with bar the Rooney one as he swiped his hand across and then pretended it hit his face, a clear sign of guilt to me
Then we get one that doesn't even hit a hand given
I'm not daft and saying we would have won or win the league anyway, that's been mostly our fault but just seemed a lot of ball to hands not given this weekend

Do you mean the Everton game where the ball was out but the lino didn't spot it and we scored? Corruption too?

Ref was shite today not bias, ruined a good game with a pathetic decision.

No. I meant the pen they didn't give us in the first game. The off-side goal in the same game. The pen they didn't give us in the second game. The goal they gave Everton in the third game that started with a blatant foul. I could go on...

It's a lot easier to stick your head in the sand and claim corruption than it is to admit just how much we've fucked it up this season. Close to £200 million spent in 2015 and we could soon find ourselves 12 points behind Leicester City, a team who were rock bottom a year ago.

Completely wrong. I am more than happy to admit we have messed it up, but cannot believe you can watch that and say there is no corruption.

Is absolutely correct. Every other game, clear ball hitting hand or the other way round "not a pen not deliberate".......our game, not even ball to hand, let alone deliberate..... "penalty" ...differnet rulebook in our games
 
Anyone who genuinely believes the game is inherently corrupt should surely stop following it.

MCIAFC though.

Bollox mate.
There is no conspiracy , we are simply suffering from incompetent refereeing against us game after game after game, despite our shit form.

Oh I think I have to agree with Benarbia here, there is a definite media bias against City and it's fairly well established and accepted. I think much of it would come the way of any team that enjoyed our recent outrageous good fortune but there is a little part reserved especially for City due to our eclipse of United and in particular Liverpool....it will be a long time before the Scouse dominated media forgive us for Steeevie Geee letting things slip.

Shite ref is being fooled by an attacker diving in the box, or missing a clear handball. Here, there was enormous doubt based on: (1) not being clear the ball even hit Sterling's arm; (2) he being so close to the attacker; and (3) taking evasive action. All those three were amply clear to the visible eye. The fact that he instaneously pointed to the spot without a moment's thought or consultation with is officials is extremely suspicious to say the least. I see no way how this can be explained away as a shit call.

Secondly, how do you explain the same linesmen missing a 3-4 yard offside for Spurs' equalizer at the Lane yet at least 3 times flagging Aguero offside (2 of which replays show he was at worse level)?

if the game was corrupt we wouldn't have won the league twice especially the way we did on May 13th 2012.

There's a man in Manchester who is a rag btw, who thinks he should have got a Prem winners medal along with the City team that year. Without the dossier he compiled which listed blatant corruption by Premier league referees against Manchester City and then presented it to the FA, it's doubtful we would have won.

I think the eclipse of United is a lot more than a "little part". I reckon it is a major reason, along with anti-Arab resentment.

Why doesn't he produce this dossier now in the face of this seemingly obvious blatant corruption against our club?

If you think it's fixed, stop watching, otherwise what's the point?
 
I'm not saying game is corrupt in a way that refs get paid etc.. Just Clattenburg seems a bit of a **** and if he doesn't like a team for whatever reason will fuck them over, I'm sure he wasn't mad on Ferguson and loved watching us twat them for 6 and sending Evans off but I don't think he's keen on us either,
What makes me think this is I actually
Taking his emotions out of it he's a competent ref so knows full well that in no way meets the criteria for deliberate handball leading to a penalty,
Also and I know it's the linesman but in the away fixture v Spurs I'm yet to see an offside so clearly off not given, he was 3 yards and they just don't happen anymore

We lost. You're "happy" despite Clattenburg and Roger East, i.e. you're not a fan, you're another Damocles.

Surprised it took this long, I'm not getting into a swinging dick competition with you but suffice it to say that I am indeed a City fan of many years standing, I am not happy by the way but neither am I desperate enough to concoct some spurious nonsense to help me feel better about a defeat.

Dry your eyes and move on old son.
 
you can tell he had a bad game when most of us can say he should that booked Yaya for his tackle on Dembele but didn't. Completely inept. The whole body of the 'Professional' referees needs to be seriously reviewed.
