Peter Walton

[cleavers]

Feared the worst when I saw he was tonights ref. Named after a district in Liverpool its hardly any wonder.

City weren't good enough, but Everton and Liverpool have both been recipients of his help this season.

 

[Halfpenny]

Absolute ****. He didn't even make a secret of his bias. What summed it up was him blowing for half time when the ball was being crossed into the box. I actually feel livid.

 

[zandvoort blue]

saw it live at the game in the first half Tevez thru one on one on Howard pushes it past him and Howard takes his legs, defo penalty. Saw it again on the tv monitor on the concourse and still believe it should have been a pen and a sending off.
This ref is truly awful, he bottled the big decisions and gave us free kicks in areas of the pitch where it didn`t matter.

 

[stirlingblue]

What a total and utter useless and biased t*** he is. After Liverpool and now this the guy shouldn't get another prem game ever. For example the foul by Arteta on Tevez, not a booking ??? Handball by Jagielka?? etc etc
Still shouldn't deflect from the fact we were sh** tonight and probably didn't deserve anything even if the ref was a tw**

I thought that at the time but Howard got his foot on the ball before Tevez.

Ref got a lot of decisions wrong like throw ins corners goal kicks etc.

Tevez was counter attacking in first half but was fouled - no yellow card.

you can change managers, buy world superstars and in fact just about anything to help your cause but if the ref (without fear of any retribution)decides you have lost you lose.

LOL.

Bent, as the tosser clearly is where City are concerned, blowing on time when the ball is in play, is within the rules, I've no idea what was on the clock when he blew, but if time was up, then time was up, ball being crossed or not.

More worried about dodgy free kicks given, booking not given, etc etc, and he's got form this season.

True, however most referees allow an attack to end before blowing the whistle, don't they?

 

[reni800]

Second half I thought he was just generally shit like you see in most English premier league matches week in week out (giving wrong decisions against both teams), but his first half display was almost as bad as Steve Bennet's when we played Wigan a few years back.
Off the top of my head, amongst generally giving most decisions against us, the booking of Tevez, the free kick given for their first goal and the non-booking of Arteta were the stand out's for me. Shocking.

 

[mancity5]

I said after the Liverpool game he was a bent ref,,,after tonights performance I am convinced he is being paid to fix games...Cheating fuck..

1.The referee didn't score either goals.

2. We should have been good enough to take 3 points tonight.

3. We need to assess our own performance before blaming the referee.

No (or at least that's what should happen, but there are a few grounds where its done obviously).

no but giving them that free kick that led to their first goal, completley changed the whole course of the game. before that they were not in it at all. Then all of a sudden they score from a dodgy decision and they sat back in number and waited to break.

 

[chazmcfc]

Tell you fucking what, if football isn't bent I am Einstein. This **** of a referee is bent as fuck. Don't mean to be OTT but i wish near death on the twat.

We can set up and defend a free kick. We didn't.

 

[SalfordCityBlue]

Haven't read the whole thread (site is too slow), but I didn't think Walton had the worst game I have seen from him tonight...

Has to be said though, he shit out of booking Arteta, and it was a ****'s trick to book Given for protesting about what was clearly a horrendously poor, shithouse decision.

Awful decision. So bad that you can't even accuse him of cheating because it was so obvious. He was just utterly incompetent.

EDIT - Not sure whether he was actually booked at all thinking about it...

We should have dealt with the free-kick. End of.

 

[Freestyler]

absolutely disgusting, just comical from start to finish.

Blowing the whistle when Johnson had the ball, for me completely summed the half up on a whole.

 

[Skashion]

Shocking. It's not enough to excuse our defeat because we still weren't good enough against a well-drilled Everton side but how we didn't get a penalty when it was still 0-0, I'll never know.

 

[Carl_Man_City]

Most i've sweared for a long time near the end of the 1st half think I even insulted him with words that don't exist!!

Useless prick!!!!!

Knew exactly what would happen as soon as I heard he was refereeing it.
