Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Moss Side's Finest]

I'd actually like to hear the audio available between all of the officials during the incident.

The players definitely weren't pleased about the ref, but so far it looks like they and Pep stayed the right side of getting an FA charge. It was a joke yesterday.

I don't, however, agree with the last bit - and really not sure why it's become such a talking point. All the commentators seem to talk about it as if it's a tragedy waiting to happen.

Footballers are challenging, tackling and fouling each other all the time - what's so precious about this particular scenario, that makes it more important than a chance to score a goal, which is pretty much the whole point of the game. We know assistants get close offsides wrong all the time, so if they're only 75% sure, then let it go, and let the players take a chance - just as they are happy to do during the rest of the match.

It's the last ditch challenges that are doing it, already been some nasty injuries happening, don't need this adding to it.

Hopefully soon see about the charges.

The Liverpool goal vs Spurs was an absolute fuck up of monumental proportions as revealed by the audio
That Grealish decision yesterday was a referee influencing a game

Well you state that with hindsight of audio Liverpool was an error as was yesterday
Clearly yesterday was an error how do you not know on audio he’s saying to the linemen - was he off I thought he was shit I blew too early
Why would the ref be corrupt come on

 

[Bluesince1979]

Give your head a wobble. It's 100% corruption in plain sight.

How? Refs bribed? Instructions from above to give us bad decisions? Liverpool and united calling the shots?

Stop just shouting corruption and tell us why you think its corrupt

He didn't whistle for offside, you quite clearly haven't seen all the evidence

I was at the match and watched sky and bbc last night
I’ve seen it - no idea why he whistled he was wrong simple as
Like I say I wasn’t the decision maker and can’t tell you what he was thinking
Nor can you
Why was it corrupt ? Explain that ?

 

[give it to gordon]

The linesman by the Colin Bell, was there any point on him being there ?

As for the Grealish/Haaland the ref is clearly seen giving the advantage. City have advantage.
What or who made the ref change his correct decision ?

Even after our long drive I'm still pissed of with this.

The ref will not be made to explain.

The ref'ing this season has been the worst. It stinks.

For once I dont think it's anti City the poor decision have been across the board. Our refs are either piss poor of someone is control games through the refs ear piece

Scudamore couldn’t have been any clearer when he said that he wanted a different winner periodically to freshen up the league.. I sort of agree with that as long as there’s a different winner by fair means and not because of “errors”

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

I’ve no idea I didn’t make the decision and it’s not explained by the referee
Maybe he thought Jack was offside so whistled and gave us the free kick
Granted he should’ve waited a split second longer and decided
If you’re saying it’s corruption how does that work ?
Is an instruction issued to the referee by the PL ?
If so who knows ? It would surely be leaked by someone
Lastly if it’s anti City corruption can you explain the Liverpool and Wolves decisions you’ve chosen to ignore ?

I never once hinted at a motive (i.e - corruption), what I said was, it can't have been an accident as he made too many conscious decisions to stop our attack. That is why pgmol have to explain why he made those decisions.

Again are we reading too much into that ?
Every team suffers bad decisions it is the human nature of sport
We also get away with some ( Rodri at Everton was that corrupt ? )
I’m sure in an ideal world the PL would want different winners and excitement to grow the brand and keep the cash coming in
How that filters down to the ref would be near impossible
It would most certainly be leaked

Conscious ? or split second ?
