Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yet another example of a ref in simple control of the game without having to be centre of attention, unlike the clowns we see every week in the league

There were no theatrics from either side though.

Compare that to the shite Arsenal will pull on Sunday.

Didn't notice any problems with the ref.

I thought he could have got a card out a bit earlier, but overall refereed the game well

It was quite obvious it wasn't a PL game.

They are probably the worst for it in the PL, think they all carry equity cards

They are, but the scousers do it, Newcastle, Brentford, the rags and probably more.

I’d love there to be a lower bar for gamesmanship. Get them booked and sent off for feigning injuries.

Maybe my blue tinted specs but we seem to be a very honest team by PL standards

We are generally, but then we don’t need to do it in most games.

If we’re 2-1 up after 80 minutes on Sunday, I suspect we might need a bit more time to recover from being fouled…

Tonight, ref was efficient, calm, professional, invisible. Like a good ref should be. I don't think him or his liners made one wrong decision although I'm not sure what Manu got booked for.

Contrast that to the weekly shit show we put up with from PL referees.

Almost as though it's deliberate in are PL.

Very good summary. I would also add, he never got himself in the way of our passing lines. Unlike the PL refs, who seem to always be in the way (especially around the opponents box), sometimes I think, are they doing it on purpose!

Oh how dare you make such ( true ) comment
