Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[MadchesterCity]

This is where these cunts should be made to face the media and explain the decision.

He should have to be punched in the Face by every City fan in the ground then pushed through a mincer and fed to the pigs

Cheating scum, he needs a beatdown

I honestly have no idea how people watch that and say its just incompetence.

As we are not one of the red tops there will be no Apology from Howard, the all thing will be forgotten about by Tuesday. We have had two of the worst refereeing decisions this year, this and the scandalous decision in the derby, brushed under the carpet.

Gabreil on 23 Nov on this thread says it all ….you can’t blame the officials for not taking our chances

Nobody is doing that. We are blaming them for not doing their jobs honestly.

Wont be mentioned after 10 a.m tomorrow at best. If it was Liverpool though....................

People talking of corruption need to grow up .

You're right of course; it's extremely childish to believe that such a thing could exist when we have those righteous and heroic souls presiding over our beautiful game.

Taylor said ‘that is poor’ to pep. You can lip read him saying it.

Hopper looked like he was going to shit himself. Known Spurs fan.

I hope he doesn’t get involved in a serious car crash on the way home. That would break my fucking heart.

Let us pray

Hooper had the best game I've seen him ref today, and he still managed to ruin it with that shocker of a decision.

At best, Grealish gets pulled down for 10 men, doubt he'd have gone through and scored. Our own profligacy and poor game management cost us, same as the Chelsea and Liverpool games.

That being said, the current crop of referees are the worst I can remember in 25 years of watching football. They have tried to fasttrack Hooper as one of the main refs for big games, since Dean, Moss, Atkinson etc have left. The guy isn't up to it, too much weight on for a start, he can't get around the pitch.

Something has to give. Biggest league in the world in the most watched sport. The amount of money is obscene. The Premier League are at a bit of a tipping point. VAR decisions should be mic'd and streamed onto the screens in the stadium for clarity. I fear for the game in this country when other than Oliver (despite being a big decision bottler), we are relying on the likes of Taylor, Pawson, and Hooper to ref huge games. I wouldn't trust them to ref an under 9s game.

The 4 officials are the only people in the stadium who have no accountability for their actions. Imagine being paid circa 100k for maximum 2 days work a week, and not having any form of punishment or consequences for any mistakes you make. Imagine having 5 days a week off work, with all that cash, and still resembling a barrell. Grossly unprofessional and a stain on our game. It's okay, demote to the Championship for a week, and then give them another top 4 game in a fortnight.

Fortunately it won’t, will still win the title in the end after an inevitable 20+ game run after Xmas.

Looks like Hooper has assumed Grealish is off and thinks he’s done the right thing by bringing it back. He’ll end up dropped for the midweeks I’m sure.

Once again though, it’s just beating the same old drum, the standard of refs in the PL right now is unacceptably poor. They have so much money floating around the game and *this* is all they have to choose from.

Not this year we wont
