Media bias against City

[Manc Born & Bred]

What's the odds of having a ref four times already in a domestic season and others once or not at all. Dark forces at work or just one of those things??

 

[Plain Speaking]

Miralles gave the linesman a worried look after whipping Navas's legs from under him, an indication surely that he knew he had done the dirty deed. How Madley missed it is open to interpretation, willful or useless.

I don't know if the Officials were afraid to give it or just corrupt? Madley and his linesman were both looking directly at it without obstruction. I have not seen a clearer penalty since Aguero was blatantly felled and booked for diving.

Channel 5's Pat Nevin could clearly see it was a penalty but couldn't bring himself to admit it. He said something like "that was a big call...the officials' have got most of the big calls right tonight."

Apart from MP mentioning it post match, most of the media has just dismissed it. No mention in the Goal.com match report. No questions from Channel 5 to Martinez or comments by Nevin, in a lengthy post match interview. BBC's Danny Mills and Sky's Moyes both implied it was a fair decision!
Only Sky's Peter Beagrie had the honesty to admit it was a clear penalty.

(My son said his Everton and United supporting school friends even admitted it was a blatant penalty.)

Refs and media are NOT corrupt and anti City. End of story.

Now please bury back your heads in the sand.

And where's your proof for that???

The independent report on the game was pretty fair today or maybe even pro city. Said their first goal should have been disallowed and the penalty given.

This proves the agenda! There all biased towards us.

Always get a good report from Ogden on us, one of the better city journo's :)

Have you changed your mind since the Everton post match thread? Or am I missing the irony?

Ogden pro City? Really??

I hadn't noticed that. It's a very good question why it is not shown?

Our fans should be entitled to see this key incident which the manager has commented on.

Have a look in case I missed it.

I did you're right.

If anyone can tell me why it is omitted, I would be interested to find out why?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Stan or HIlda Ogden? We get nowt but snide, sneering shite from NoMark Oddun of the ToryGraph.

Oops, I apologise for a poor attempt of some irony on the head buried in the sand brigade. ;)

He's 34 don't forget but apparently all our players in and around 30 are over-the-hill and past it....Yaya is 32 and pundits and a lot of City fans are pushing him into retirement. Ridiculous.

You know it's bad when ex blue Andy Hinchcliffe who summarised on last night's game albeit one of the most partial Co commentators still came across as pro-everton. He's already up to speed with what is needed to prolong his career in the media.

No problem, I thought it was only me that had different opinions within the hour. :-)

Spoke to him in 2014, nice guy but when I got philosophical about our chances of winning the league that year his reply was " that's what I love about you City fans". Paul Lake would be an ideal summariser, intelligent, insightful, knowledgeable but pro City.
