Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Crooked_rain]

My wife couldn't believe how many times he got in the way of our play.

I know,

I was watching with a mate and I was like "am I imagining it or does he seem to be stood right in the path of where we could be passing to another player?"

Poor positioning

A rotten cheating **** who pampered to the smacked arse Madrid wet fannies diving, cheating and time wasting. Pathetic ref, not fit for purpose for a game of this magnitude

Hope the cnut gets hounded out of the game deserves a slap as well the prick ..

Would love to see him get a proper kicking

François Letexier, ref in the first leg is 34, the twat last night is 48. He couldn't keep up with the game in the first half let alone extra time. Shocking performance in such a high profile game, I think at least twice he gave a goal kick to Madrid before changing his mind to give us a corner and when their keeper tipped a ball over at the South Stand end which I could see from the other end he again gave them a goal kick but this time didn't change his mind. I won't start on his shit time keeping and his lack of game understanding over Madrid's cheating antics which he let them get away with.

That's the difference age 48 isn't old but he missed a lot maybe he needs glasses or contacts if hasn't got them he was poor and not savvy and being an Italian referee you'd thought he would recognise players cheating diving?! Unless he sees so much of it in Italian league he thinks it's part of the game! Uefa brings in rules on spending grass length but can't be arsed to clamp down on cheating time wasting!

Really surprised there aren’t a lot more posts about this cheating corrupt ****. How do we get a ref who is very good at stopping real madrids antics in Madrid and one who is so blatantly a cheat at home? Disgusting

He's got the final. Playing safe to keep it methinks.

Helping get Madrid through and us out will hardly be badly perceived by his paymasters

Just checked, in the second period of extra time play was stopped for 2 mins 15 seconds from 108:10 to 110:25; there were also 2 or 3 other stoppages. So the minimum is 3 or 4 minutes. How the fuck can he justify adding ONE minute? He was a **** all night, gave uefa exactly what they wanted

Just checked -

2 mins 15 secs for first stoppage

35 seconds for Kovacic and Stones comin on

25 seconds for when he stopped play and confused everyone by awarding a free kick to both tesms

30 seconds when Gvardiol and one of their cunts went down

That’s 4 minutes for which we got 1, in 15. Equate that across 120 minutes snd add in their general diving, time wasting and other shit housery and associated disruption - we were robbed of 15 to 20 minutes easy

Which is why he probably wasn't picked.

The French lad last week reffed it fairly and it added to the spectacle. This ref was the opposite.
