Yup.

Nothing dodgy at all about that.

Parry went on to have a glittering career which included working as a "consultant" for the Qatar regime on their World Cup bid and then becoming a key member of the Investigatory Chamber of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Board, especially during their investigation into the finances of MCFC. You may recall that was another body which was compromised by leaks from within its close-knit circle. Still nothing to see here let's move on.

He also had a perm ana a 'tache. Probably had several shell suits with tarik khanjhar's miniscule cock sticking out!

This is from BBC today …..

“Earlier this season PGMOL apologised to Everton after they were denied a penalty in their 1-0 defeat by Manchester City despite midfielder Rodri appearing to use his hand to control the ball.”

Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

Remember the last big football governance report produced by the Commons Sport Select Committee in 2011. It was totally undermined by a leak to the media of its draft report and a subsequent inquiry (see the first link) went into the long grass. Rick Parry was used as a "specialist adviser" on this governance report and declared an interest (see the last par of the second link) that he was still on the LFC payroll (part of his termination deal) and his son worked at Manchester City in the Sports Science team. Probably just a co-incidence.

When it involves the Dippers, there’s no such thing as a co-incidence!

Ref says no penalty for City.

'Independent' regulator... So Rick Parry or Ed Woodward then?

Nobody in this world is independent. Doesn't matter who gets the job they won't be truly independent.

You are right, but you can at least appoint people who you would expect to be professional and objective.

I bet that won't be the case here.

While I share your thoughts on VAR - it's complete shite and the operators of it are clueless - the Gabby pen wasn't forensically looked at. VAR, for once, made it's mind up very quickly and within one look at the replay said it's a penalty. The issue and the big delay was because Kevin Friend couldn't hear VAR telling him the check was over and to award the pen. Hilariously, the commentators on the channel I was watching knew the outcome - they could hear VAR saying it's a pen but the ref couldn't! The commentator actually said maybe he should run on the pitch and tell him! Total shambles really.

Was the conflab at the side of the pitch with Kevin and a couple of others part of the explanation? It's a pile of farmyard manure every which way round.

I was at Etihad Stadium on Saturday when Raheem Sterling blasted a good chance over against Watford. You should have heard how many fans around me were groaning and shouting 'useless' or 'get him off'.

Raheem Sterling: Why Man City fans don't appreciate him enough - Micah Richards analysis

BBC pundit Micah Richards feels Manchester City fans should focus on what Raheem Sterling brings to their team, rather than just remember his missed chances.

If anyone is remotely interested, Marca have got loads of City v Real
Madrid articles?

However, the Etihad Stadium resists Real Madrid's strength. Los Blancos have played at City's stadium three times and, although they have not fared badly, they have yet to win there.

Real Madrid's power in Europe transcends borders. In recent years, Los Blancos have triumphed in almost every major European stadium, including Munich, Turin, London, Amsterdam and
