But do refs apply the same 'timewasting' criteria across all teams. We've seen goalie after goalie at The Etihad taking the piss from the first goal kick, and 87mins later he gets booked for serial timewasting. The crowd howl in protest after the second thirty second goal kick and the ref, with his back to the play does fuck all. And what time was it when Eddie got booked for slowing down his goal kick? Long before the 87th minute.No danger of Eddie being booked as he wasn't wasting any time. Forest were so poor much of the time that Eddie knew there weas more chance of us getting a third than them scoring one. I think that great save came in stoppage time and was their first meaningful shot on target.
If a player plays for Manchester City he should, in my humble opinion, get 100% support from City fans.Established England international Kalvin Phillips you mean? He certainly hasn’t done well at City, hasn’t worked for him, yet at least, but some of you lot need to give the lad a break, fucking hell. He played well for England in Scotland, and he did ok when he came on yesterday. It’s really poor the shit he’s getting, any mistake highlighted, anything good ignored. There’s always been scapegoats (Crossan, Power, Edgehill, Mahrez, Phillips etc) and it’s always been pathetic.

Taylor: Sorry Mr. Webb, I did my bestTaylor today reminded me as one of those infamous webb/clattenburg performance i”ll remember forever .
Done a search and couldn’t find a reference so apologies if it has been discussed already but does anyone know what was going on with one of the backroom staff (think it was Brandon) running round (and on) the pitch to give a message to Ederson?
Second half, I think it wasn’t long after the red card if I remember rightly.
The way I saw it, he may have been asked Eddie to aim for Haaland from the kicks, as his two/three previous kicks went to Foden who was easily beaten in the air to lose position. After the message every one went to the big fella.
The other explanation of avoiding a booking also makes sense, so who knows?
How’ve you come to that decision- he played well for EnglandWe’ve got kids like Oscar Bobb & Rico Lewis who look more comfortable on the ball than Kalvin…….
