Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They’ve just played the audio of the Hooper non-advantage on SSN and it will be part of the Ref’s mic’d up at 6:30pm.

It doesn’t really show much. He makes an ooh sound as the challenge on Haaland happenes, then identifies Royal as the player involved.

He doesn’t say anything else before blowing the whistle, then says “oh sorry” then asks for “calm” as Haaland and our other players remonstrate with him.

Webb says it’s an honest mistake, so that in itself will mean it is corrupt to some, but that Hooper was devastated afterwards.

It doesn’t change anything for me. It was a brain fart on Hooper’s behalf.

Honest mistake and devastated. Yeah Right, Probably high fives within PGMOL.
Things have got worse since Webb took over, how comes this is the 3rd major fuck up by Hooper this season alone and what is he is doing about that. 1st 2 he got dumped for a week, us honest mistake of course. Anything but honest in that decision with Jack through and laughably its an honest mistake, no action yet the club gets charged for its understandable actions.
The club should be asking Webb how these decisions ie Dippers, this and Luton seem to be happening against us nearly every single week. That Luton ref should never get another of our games but will as the club yet again didn't kick off about it

Hooper was largely innocent regarding the Liverpool incident, but he was nevertheless punished for it. His crime was perhaps being part of a terrible communication protocol, but Webb should take the rap for that.

I don't see that the non-advantage in our game could have been fobbed off as an innocent error. The incident from foul to whistle took three seconds. There was nothing that could have changed Hooper's mind after signalling for advantage and then in almost the same instant, deciding there wasn't really an advantage after all. It will take a lot to persuade me that Hooper didn't just unilaterally decide he didn't want City to have a clear goalscoring opportunity at that stage of the game. As for the reports that he was gutted, well that is meaningless really. He's hardly going to say he was happy with the decision after everyone criticised it for being wrong.

What a load of bollocks

As I said, no evidence would be enough to change any of our thinking, whether they‘re thought to be inept or corrupt.

Hooper didn’t make the scouser’s offside error, that was VAR.

Every single referee that officiates our games should never referee us again according to this thread.

People seem to want the club to go nuclear about any perceived injustice.

The club have shown that they don’t operate like that.

In the end though, we’ll just have to get on with winning games and titles, like we always do these days.

Robbed against Spuds and no explanation , and Foden avoids a broken leg against Luton and its instantly fogotten ,it doesnt pay to stay silent and tow the line ,look at the Dippers and Goons , they whinge like f*ck and the officials are shit scared of upsetting Clubshop & Legohead for the rest of the season.

He was 100% culpable. He’s the referee. The man in charge.

It’s up to him to communicate effectively with HIS team.

He didn’t and cocked up big time. Again.

ok mrs webb.

ok mrs webb.

Not hugely helpful, but fine.

I guess you’re Russell Brand’s other half, with your penchant for liking a conspiracy theory.

There’s a fine line between conspiracy theory and shit you witness week in week out. Unless you can comprehend the difference, you are just a dog chasing your own tail .
