Agree with all that but Phil’s. I thought Phil was fouled kept going & then fell when leaned on so therefore didn’t gain an advantage.

There was contact initially (he didnt go down/dive like many do), ran on but was slightly off balance after the initial challenge/contact and as he was at speed then slipped.

Funny some who were shouting Dive by Foden were desperate for the Pedro incident to be a penalty…
 
Gillett has been excellent every time I've seen him, doesn't fall for much of the con tricking which goes on, lets the game go and seems to acknowledge that football is a contact sport and sometimes it's not a foul
 
Could've booked a few of their players but was fine overall, after the storm last week this was pretty uneventful.
 
Grealish getting zero protection, he is fouled countless time and so rare for ref to give a talking to to the offender who is often the same person. let alone yellows.

it was actually karma one of them got injured from actually a Grealish cross.
 
Noticed Hooper didn’t look at Haaland when he shuck hands after the game, same with Pep when he was fourth official at Bournemouth. Odd bloke.

Can anyone tell me why Hooper gave Forest the ball after Boly seemingly went down with a " head injury " ???? If this is the new way forward then surely just go down holding your head and get possession too!

He gave them the ball and instructed them to give it back to us which they did?

The defending side get it if the last touch was inside the area.

Clearly they just gave it back.

My guess was that Forest were the last ones to touch it before he blew and so technically it was still in their possession even though it had been booted towards City’s end. However, I also noted that after the drop ball they still booted it into our half and returned possession to City and wondered if it was by arrangement.

If the last touch had been outside of the area, you'd have been right - it would still have been Forest ball where it was last played.

I don't think the ref can instruct anything, but I think the players viewed it a bit like the ball being put out of play, and return it.

Thanks for that but I think the whole thing seemed to confuse everybody especially the players!
 
At least Forest did not do the sh×thouse trick that happened to them the other week by, guess who. Unusually they were the victims that time. Can you imagine the hoohah now the bubble has burst if that had happened to their opponents that day.
