Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Paladin]

Anyone who believes there is a refereeing conspiracy against Manchester City probably believes that PGMOL is run by lizard people and the earth is flat.

And yet here you are, choosing to engage with them.

The PL may try, it would be unfair though

For some reason that just reminded me of how a very experienced linesman was overuled to give the offside goal that United got against City.

No apology for that either. Just the rather non-committal "don't expect to see that decision given again any time soon".

All we need is someone to post “I’ve heard there is a tape of Dermot Gallagher telling him to blow; and that City are going to go nuclear when it leaks.”
Conspiratorial bollocks on this thread is embarrassing.

If I was his line manager, I'd have him in my office to ask him his thought process that led to him playing advantage, then cancelling a clear advantage with no justification. There's no way I would accept "Sorry, my bad. I'm gutted. Won't happen again".

Much more likely that he'll be invited in, given a glass of sherry, and congratulated on his decision.

What a mistake to make, even worse the PL to charge City for the players surrounding the Ref anyone else hear.it on the news

Don't need to "hear" it, its on the bbc news website front page "news".

Read your posts and take a long look at yourself and your attitude before you comment about someone else. I'm not wasting any more time on you.

Haha jesus

It's interesting that these aberrations always seem to affect City, going all the way back to the penalty given to United after Uwe Rosler had put City one up in a cup game, Kevin Horlocks " aggressive walking" the decision last season to overule the linesman offside decision in the derby. The handball from Liverpool on the halfway line that set up a goal against City that was allowed to stand after City had a goal disallowed, changing a one nil win into a one nil loss, and more of the same yesterday. There seems to be a common theme with these " mistakes ".

'Ball still in the air'?

Aye, after it fucking bounced in front of Jack.

Gaslighting cunts.

He does blow the whistle whilst the ball is still in the air and not past the defenders to be fair. It’s still a shocking time to do it though.



I don’t think he realised it was as good an opportunity as it was as he’s looking at three spurs players and one of ours. It doesn’t make any of it forgivable though.

Hooper is either -

A cheat
Corrupt
Incompetent
Blind

Or a mixture of the above

In all cases he needs sacking
