Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[cleavers]

I didn’t think he had a bad game

You must have a different idea of "bad", because he allowed the dirty twats to foul consistently, giving us next to nothing.

I only watched the second half but thought he was letting a lot go for both teams at times.

Thought VAR should have sent him to the screen for the challenge on Foden.

Reffed it like he was at the home of a conference side in the FA Cup third round playing a premier league side and wanted to make it interesting.
Different set of rules for either team

The foul on Foden was a shocker

So you missed the constant fouling by Luton in the first half including him calling over one player and the captain. Presumably to explain that the next foul would be a booking .....which wasn't. The player he talked to had, within the first 10 minutes decked 2 different City players. He was cynical and nasty in both.

Fair enough, like I said I didn’t see the first half. Thought Luton were allowed to be very agressive in the second half so that doesn’t surprise me.

Forget VAR for a moment (although they had a prefect view to give a red) why didn't the ref give at least a yellow? Did he miss it completely?

The referee didn't even give it as a foul.

Play continued, and 2 or 3 further tasty tackles flew in before I think we reclaimed the ball and kicked it out for foden to get some medical attention.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

He and his team along with the fuckers in the trailer watching on telly were shite.

Think I'll bookmark and just post that line every game.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Anyone see the corner that their player pushed Kovacic backwards with both hands on his shoulders and sent him flying on his arse. Played on

 

[Kippax77]

The Burnley one was higher, so always easier to give.

The only thing, I guess, that’s saved the Luton player is that it was lower and only one foot hit Foden.

I thought it was a red card, as he was out of control, using his whole body weight.

No doubt Dermot will say something along the lines of him being very lucky and he could have no complaints had he seen red.

The Gospel according to Dermot.
Amen

Add to that the fact VAR didn't intervene in a clear Red Card and it all adds up to a coordinated campaign by the PiGMOL to affect the outcome of the PL.
.

Yet Gillett on VAR who you say is part of a campaign to stop City winning the league reffed City’s title rivals Arsenal last night, didn’t give a penalty to Jesus that wouldn’t have been overturned if he had and immediately ruled out Havertz goal for handball.

Seems like he forgot his orders last night?!
