Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

Have the rules changed? or am I missing something? Early in the season Alvarez was caught offside I recall? he was running with the ball and kicked it away two or three yards. He was booked for this, I thought well if that’s the rule for all! Last night Newcastle players were at it all the time even passing it to each other to stop us taking free kicks! Think one might have been booked late on? Tell me if I wrong they even got the f……. Ball boys doing it as well.
 
Last night the referee was truly abysmal . Linton was given free rein to go round kicking our players with no comeback. Pep getting booked was the icing on the cake for this useless ref and his 4th official.

Seen the ball boy do it and they wouldn’t even get the ball for us, just sat there on their little chairs.

Howe had a plan to disrupt our game by any means possible which Pep cottoned onto quite early. Pep got more and more frustrated with the treatment of our players and finally snapped, letting Howe know his thoughts. In fact, it even looked like he let their sub’s know his thoughts as well.

We are a nice team who respect the opposition but if fucked over, we can play that game as well. I’m expecting Pep to have no mercy the next time we play them, the elephant never forgets.

Howe's plan at half time was called Joelinton.
"You know go out and get physical with these lot for running rings around us, no don't worry above the ref, it's man City were playing remember"

I thought Kalvin was our elephant.

You say that, but it means we have to play at 100% with no mistakes every game to beat them, which is both mentally and physically exhausting.

Once the ref lets a couple of opposition fouls go early doors, or plays on when we're running down a blind alley teams know the ref is going to give them an easier time of it. It effects their team, it affects our team, and it also effects the managers decision making.

Whether it was consciously or not, last night WAS NOT a level playing field.

I stopped counting at 16 times they'd moved the ball and yeah I saw at the top of the screen tre ballboy fucking about too.

Strangely I can remember only one ballboy incident Wanchoppe being sent off at Norwich.
