For fuck sake this is the one thing we didn't want. Seems to be walking off fairly comfortably though, hopefully just a jarred knee and it's just precautionary.

It was always going to be Dinho. They need his composure and experience way more than Rodri's ability to fuck things up.

My only worry is the ref sending Fernandinho of for tactical fouls

This is a big problem for the sport.

I can't think of any other sports where complaints about referees is this prevailent.

The game has literally been ruined, and this isn't the first time this has happened this season.

I am tired of moaning about refs, but that's where we are, and it'll never be fixed.

Your generalization has a point, but we're facing a specific problem here which remains consistent through the years : City are not officiated the same way their rivals are. Period.

The club's policy is full of grace, dignity and generosity, and it's admirable. But this is a war, and rivals will use all kinds of means to undermine you. Mourinho set the standard the moment he arrived in England with a clear strategy on this, and soon everybody followed...

City remain silent regarding this issue, the team suffers, players risk injuries in every single game...

And now Ilkay gets off injured...

Disappointing from Rodri, was really good for months but errors have been creeping back into his game in the last month and a bit

 

[oddfellows]

Looks like impact

 

[SWPISHOME]

He looks to be ok, Just precaution hopefully.

 

[willipp]

This ref is as bad a ref I’ve ever seen.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Doesn't seem too bad walking off.

Fingers crossed.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Gunda doesn’t look happy ffs

 

[Uwe's 80s mullet]

Not read any of the thread but I imagine it’s been mentioned that the reffing has been disgusting
