Media bias against City

[Eds]

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.

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.

Not even shown on the main sites highlights, have they an agenda? :-)

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?
