Is that the one who booked Aguero for this?

true, but he was only making up for the year before with the Tiote goal/non-goal.

At least he's just bad, makes it simple. I'm more concerned by the likes of Clattenburg, who can be great, but then put in "interesting" performances.

Maybe if we can get that played all week, we can get the desired reaction.

We still won that game 0 - 3, so if we are on our game then his ineptness won't count.

You really think it matters who we get...it used to bother me but why worry about it. .as I said on previous ref threads.. if we play as we have been doing it doesn't matter one jot ;-)

It does a little yea,I mean some games you can think ahead to especially being announced on the Monday afternoon,gives us time to think,deliberate and form conversations and debates on here,good time filler I think.......plus we can ALL decide that they are a useless **** and shit ourselves on Saturday morning

I do love the agenda/media bias thread but the ref threads are an equal for paranoia and the world is against us syndrome.

I agree he is staggeringly incompetent but that won't disadvantage us too often.
Since 2010 he has referreed us 11 times and been fourth official 13 times. We lost one when he refereed and one whilst he was fourth official. We've won 16/24 when he's been involved. The six draws have seen four 0-0's, which I will say is a bit odd, given how few times we have a no-score draw.
If he is part of the fabled conspiracy, his major level of incompetence seems to be how bad he is at ensuring we lose!

You wait until monday if he gives a throw in the wrong way
 
I don't think he has an agenda/bias against us.

He is just a useless and incompetent ref in all his matches.

God knows how he is still in the PL refereeing.

That is up there with the Old Trafford penalty in 1996 and Kevin Reeve's "illegal jumping" in the 1981 semi final as the worst decision in City's recent history. In terms of it's impact it wasn't the same as the two I've mentioned, but in terms of its utter incompetence it was the worst of them all that I can remember.

Jones was completely pilloried after the Aguero incident (something that didn't happen in 1981 or 1996). He was widely taken to task in the media about a number of poor decisions in that game (including IIRC halting a City attack and pulling play back 40 yards to give an offside decision AGAINST SOUTHAMPTON!)

That said, I can't imagine that public ridicule is likely to improve his performance. It hasn't done so far.

Big baldy Peter Willis sending off Andy May for protesting about his (Willis') failure to take any action against the Oldham oaf who had just mangled Jamie Hoyland, could have been catastrophic, given that we only got promotion on the final day of the season, and Brian Coddington sending off Super Kev at Bournemouth for aggressive walking will live long in the memory too. You're right though, the Cantona 'penalty' was probably the most craven piece of refereeing I've ever seen.

As to Mike Jones, I fear he is simply incompetent (on an epic scale) rather than biased against us. Hard to account for him disallowing Tiote's goal at St James Park against us otherwise.
 
There isn't one who half-fills me with confidence but this guy is six feet below the bottom of the barrel. He is the living reason why video technology is desperately needed for cards, penalties, goals and sendings off. He got that so wrong! Even the RagDipperMeedya asked if that was the worst decision of the weekend.
