todays ref and refs in general

Shocking performance by mr jones today absolutely woeful,this lot we have at the moment are without doubt the worst set of incompetent buffoons i can ever remember,we seem to be talking about refs more than the actual games at the which is not good.

 

[Kompany is King]

Quality perfornance. Delighted for Dzeko & Aguero.

The 6 minutes 45 seconds was fair, the subs and a bit of rolling around we did justified that, we'd want it if the boot was on the other foot, looks very silly and predictable to moan about it to be honest!

Except when the boot is on the other foot we don't get it. during the 4 additional minutes played during the derby the ball was not actually in play for about 3 minutes and 10 seconds of that time. Whenever we score an injury time winner, the additional time is inevitably added on to the end of the game - don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself, against West Brom and Reading in particular. The only time we have conceded an injury time loser was against United when IIRC no additional time was added at all. And that by the ref who gave the world 'fergie time'.

Why is it that there are no clear guidlines pronounced by the FA so we can all see where we stand? Is it just too difficult for this multi billion pound indistry to put together some guidelines as to how much time to add on to the time that you add on? Is the ball supposed to be in play for every second of the time you have added on? If not, how much additional time do you add?

Because its a billion £ industry the less regulation the better to manipulate.
Its a shame really but will never happen. The big fuss over goal line technology which is a minimal advance to enhance the games technology over human error is dead in the water.
The reason for this is that it may open the doors for a Rugby type scenario where important decisions are replayed instantly to a panel to peruse and judge the action.
A billion £ industry cannot be held to that as they will lose the power to manipulate.

Fanciful post Rastus.

Heard of that multi billion dollar industry known as NFL.

I think its 5 miilion per second of advertising at this years Superbowl.

Perhaps Mick Jagger and the Stones can determine which side wins it this year.

Leave poor Fred Eyre alone, miserable is his style. Deadpan humour I like to call it.

Nasri's red was soft

Pity Vinny wasn't a couple of seconds quicker with his push, stupid by Nasri though. He's looked a lot better since the derby too.

Billy, Norwich are not a "poor poor side" at all, they may not be top 4, but they'll give all of them a game.

Its a good 3 points, especially a man down for so long, and gifting goals.

As far as the most important decision in the game he did what he was supposed to do.

Its the buffoon of a linesmen that made it harder for us to get the three points than it should of been perhaps although we seem to excel when we are down to ten men of late.

Does anyone remember a game where afterwards we are not talking about the referee? I can't, seems every game we get a shit load of duff decisions..

Re: todays ref and refs in general

Agreed. It's beyond a joke now. Today we saw Kompany win the ball clear as day resulting in a free-kick and goal for them. We then saw Nasri took out completley, a square up resulting in a yellow for Bassong, red for Nasri. We saw Aguero tripped by Bassong when he was on the floor, nothing given. Almost every 50/50 decision went against us too. This was just todays game. I think the stat that under Mancini we have never seen an away penalty domestically, considering we normally control the games, speaks for itself.
