Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I’m also glad we don’t as I think it’s a glimpse into their inner psyche that reveals weakness.

In games where Arsenal are trailing or level for long periods, as they have been in some of the recent ones where famous last minute goals clinched them back to back titles, they aren’t rolling around so much and so the quarter of an hour or so that’s added on is unjustified.

We do ok in spite of the fourth official not adding on the correct amount of time. How many times at home during recent seasons when from the first min to the last it’s been a workshop in how to waste time by the opposition keeper have we moaned incredulously when only 4 or 5 mins of added time is put up at the end ?

I don’t disagree about opposition time wasting, but the ball is still in play far more in our games than in other teams. It’s because there are less throws and goal kicks as we keep the ball most of the game.

Therefore we get less injury time.

I've been saying on here for years that kavanagh is a liverpool fan.
Maybe people will believe me now.

I didn’t think that time taken with throw ins and goal kicks was factored in to added time anyhow. It just seems to be at the whim of whichever clown is in charge of it on any given week.

I’d love them to introduce a stop the clock rugby style system

As you suggest, it’s at the ref’s discretion, hence inconsistencies happen.

Awful performance and it going to get worse during the run in. On the other hand it was a satisfying feeling when Bobb scored the winner 1 minute into injury time

 

[Franny 1234]

The game was reffed as though the officials thought WOW city are all over Newcastle let's try to help the home side a little.

I don't.

No one can defend what happened today. Some will try, even on here but it was a total disgrace.

It's clear cheating by all the officials, Pep's reaction to the winner at the final whistle said it all, it was fuck you
cheating scum bags, MOTD said Pep's reaction was because of the winning goal and being overjoyed haha

City tearing the system apart again

The referee today was clueless, Please don't try and say VAR is not in full control of the game, Because the Referee blew his whistle when Newcastle thought they had won a Pen for handball, For one dark moment, I thought here we go, He's going to the monitor and VAR was going to cheat us out of the 3 points.

Not quite sure what point you’re making here?

Are you saying that the referee blew for a penalty and the VAR told him not to give it?

Or the VAR told him to blow for the penalty but then they changed their mind between them for some reason?

They would ball’s that up as well, they are so incompetent.
