Media bias against City

I was wondering how much abuse Ota and MDM would have got from Shearer if the Japanese fella waltzed through them like he did Spurs?

Not a mention about Spurs though

No bad defending was never been mentioned on match of the day prior to City being featured regularly. Alan Hansen was historically famed for avoiding the topic.
 
So what exactly is bolox?? I have given the details of the pens for and against over the past 6 years. If the figures are incorrect please provide an alternative source.

I have no clue what you are going on about citing Totttenhams penalty. You have gone off on a complete tangent and are arguing with yourself about something I have not mentioned.

Yes mate come back when you have something worthy of debating and discussing rather than calling a set of stats bollox with no evidence they are inaccurate and then rambling on about Spurs pen which has not even been mentioned.

I find it even more puzzling you seem desperate to prove we have not received a fair share of penalties as if you would prefer to prove the refs are against us rather than the 'compelling evidence' (as good as your evidence) that the refs are biased in our favour (as this would be how these stats would be used if unfavourable to City).

Did you actually 'read' my post!? Clearly going to have to trawl back through all the penalty stats again and present them back, 'with context'

However in advance of that, the 'bollox' about your post was quoting standalone penalty stats (havent double checked but i take it at face value they are accurate) as some kind of evidence that we don't get treated unfavourably by referees.

If you are talking about an historical post I cannot remember it. Yes I will look forward to the context and I can only presume if you have broken down, when we have received penalties you have done the same for our rivals or there would be no context or direct comparison to benchmark against. Like you say it is all about the context.

No offence, but what on earth is "a fair share" Never heard such an irrelevant description. Its either a foul or its not, and if it is, and its in the box, its a penalty. What i and most City fans want is not a fair share , but the CORRECT amount!

Well that is never going to happen over the course of the season and similarly it will never happen to any club when human decision making is involved. So the best you can hope for is decision are made 'fairly' and impartially.

The significance of 'fairly' is in the context of whether their is a bias against us so not irrelevant due to the nature of the thread.

I don't hope for a decision to be made "fairly" and impartially, i want the decision to be made COMPETENTLY

I'm not sure where my views lie with regards to bias as opposed to incompetence. However, as someone mentioned earlier, and as i've posted in the Howard Webb thread, how the referee at Spurs today can give the penalty he did, when his view was obstructed by about 3/4 players, and yet the same referee can not give the one on Wednesday for the foul on Navas when he not only had a clear view, but WAS actually looking straight at it, absolutely beggars belief!!, and that is what leads to questioning integrity!

The sooner video technology is trialled and eventually introduced (in some form), for ALL game changing decisions, the better!
