Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Nellies left peg]

An equally baffling decision along with Darwin Nunez dressing up and playing like a seven year old girl

Has red Howard apologised yet? Didn’t think so

1) It was a terrible decision.

2) The reaction by our players was unacceptable.

3) These two views can both be true

Yesterday, the U15 match where I was a lino was halted (& then restarted) because of foul language and allegations of corruption directed at the ref and linesmen by players. It doesn't need to be this way - but I believe that the standard set by the Premier League players cascades to lower levels and junior football. Sadly I'd support sanctions against our players

Does the standard of refereeing cascade down too?

Light-hearted remark so don't be offended.

Hooper came so close to playing the best "advantage" of his career, but then inexplicably changed his mind and made possibly the worst mistake of his career. One for which he will always be remembered.

Normally I would agree. This season it seems all teams have been screwed over badly. It's like the pl refs have got alot worse this season

Didn't think it could get any worse than when Old Mother was in charge. Had my doubts about Howard Red but he has managed to achieve it. Knighthood for services to fucking up football beckons.

Ask yourself would this happen at the swamp or anfield ? No it wouldnt

I don't expect PGMOL to explain the reasons for every decision, however this was a truly exceptional decision that has caused complete confusion amongst pundits and players alike.

Once again, I'm not calling corruption, but people will question if that could be a plausible reason in the absence of some sort of explanation as to why such a dubious looking decision was made.

Liverpool had a perfectly good goal chalked off a few weeks back because of a fuck up between var and the ref.

An actual goal cancelled

Only by city fans (and judging by some comments on here, not even all of them). The media saw to it that the rest of the neatrals moved on pretty much instantly with focus being put squarely on Haaland's reaction

And they received a full explanation and apology from all involved!!!?

And, so did we against Liverpool last week!

 

[give it to gordon]

He did that yep Maybe a possible foul on Ake>?

Well if so that was a bloody quick VAR check

I think that's why I was pissed of at the end. First waving the goal than the goal is given but nothing on the big screen. Than allowed play on on Haaland to only change his mind. He list control
