Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

Paladin said:
Why does it have to be a conspiracy? Why can't it just be that certain referees favour certain clubs, or certain referees despise City?

Lahoz for one, never showed us any leniency or favour and always seemed to go against us. It's well rumoured that City had a dossier to show that one referee held a bias against us, and that referee was removed from City games before retiring to the USA. Also that City had a dossier of evidence to show that Raheem Sterling was unfairly treated by referees. Numerous referees have stated publicly that they favoured United, and there is evidence that United had influence in the selection of referees. (Winter never refereed United again, after having the audacity to dismiss Roy Keane).

There is no conspiracy needed here. It's just plainly evident that certain teams are favoured and certain teams are prejudiced against. Webb and his predecessors should not be appointing these biased referees in certain games.

What does it matter? There are no refs who ever favour us. Not one. So 50% of refs are intrinsically biased against us vs. instructed by UEFA/PGMOL. Same outcome.

So what do we think the refereeing team will be like tonight? I will make some predictions:

Less skillful team won't be allowed to kick more skillful team around the park
First yellow card for Copenhagen
No yellow card for Rodri
No yellow card for Guardiola
No controversial VAR decisions
No two minute delays for VAR offside calls
After the game we will be saying the ref was good, who was he?

And for the weekend:

Chelsea's cloggers will be allowed to kick City around the park
First yellow card for City
Yellow card for Rodri
Yellow card for Guardiola
Two controversial VAR decisions
Two minute delays for VAR offside calls
After the game we will be saying the ref was corrupt

Aside from the infamous David Luis on Aguero (which was blatantly corrupt), I actually dont remember us getting shafted against Chelsea much if at all

Anyway, I’m going to let this thread breathe for a while, so won’t post unless asked directly to respond.

I did see what you wrote and apologise for monopolising the thread this morning, but can guarantee that it isn’t a WUMming mission and that I genuinely believe referees get far more stick than they should. As a result, the ones who believe differently get quoted more and so have more messages to respond to.

Some may be rotten, but that’s all a feeling rather than provable.

Anyway, peace to all of you.

By saying they support(ed) clubs like Altincham ?

They're all into football if they are referee's, which means that they will likely have a club they support, it doesn't have to be corruption, it can simply be bias, or even simply media influence.

I think whether a Ref is from Bristol or Bromsgrove the drip drip press negatively against our club poisons minds. Fans all over the country have a negative opinion of us as it’s drummed into them via the media on a daily basis, Refs are no different.

Their latest one which no doubt be used for the next 2 decades is Rodri's penalty at the swamp this season.
Neville still brings it up if their is a soft penalty at any game he's covering.
So do the rags in work every time I slag Bruno rat off for diving.
They compare his dive a Wigan in the cup to Rodri getting pulled down in the box by 'the quiniderm man' as the same action.
Just pure bullshit
