re: his yellow card yesterday.
Did we get a free-kick or did the ref ignore everything and then book him after the event?
I couldn't tell from MOTD if he had given a foul against the defender for (clearly) pulling him back or whether he gave nothing and then booked him for questioning the decision (or lack of it).
If it's the former, then he's just venting his frustration at being pulled back when in a good position and therefore can't really warrant a card because he's not disagreeing with or questioning anything.
If it's the latter, then serious questions need to be asked of why it wasn't a free kick to City, at the very least, because from what I saw, he was clearly tugged from behind when in a decent position.
I know players have to keep their heads, but I'm sick of being on the end of appalling refereeing decisions, whether playing myself or watching City.
For something as blatant as that was, it would be nice if somebody were allowed to question the decision making and/or the referee justify his decision as they do in Rugby.
A simple explanation of how he saw something and the decision he gave based on what he saw would prevent players from being abusive or seeking retribution the next time they entered into a challenge.
