Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

Definitely a penalty, Sterling on Walker... commentator said Walker knew what he was doing putting his leg in front of Sterling so he had to kick him......yes and that's why it's a definite penalty

It’s called shielding. You call the offender clumsy for coming in behind, I remember Jesus getting punished after 2 mins in the derby.

Anybody has the video of that late penalty shout? People are saying we handled the ball first.

I thought that but that doesn’t excuse all the others.

 

[cheekybids]

yes, thats whats happening. only funny moments when those clubs play each other, and there is some ref situation.

even if we rarely get penalty, there are snide comments of "easy", "seen that not given" etc.
if its liverpool than "stonewall", "gave the ref no option", "how stupid fro the defender" etc.

Then the media is flooded with City are looked after by the refs..

It’s pure gas-lighting

Nobody here in the general PL games thread would ever suggest the same with rival players.

We’re all objective here and everybody else is wrong…

It’s just blinkered tribalism and reactionism in real time.

You are all forgetting that's it's perfectly understandable that referees show unconscious bias to the home team because of the crowd, and ...

Oh, wait a minute ....

City fans defending the refereeing decisions are masochistic.

Have you ever seen such refereeing at Anfield and Old Trafford?

I want a video of the shout Dias had after that.

If anyone watches again, please check it as I only saw it in realtime. While they are checking for handball and play is continuing, the ball comes in from the left to the far side of the area and someone takes Dias out with an elbow to the head. The ball goes to one of our players on the right and I think it ends up as a corner.

While the players are asking the ref about the handball still, Dias is complaining about that elbow.

No replay, no official var check.

I saw that and screamed pen and red mate. Laughable it wasn’t checked.

Another shit storm of shocking refing and bent VAR. Give me fucking strength. The words robbed and cheated spring to mind. Feels like a defeat.
