Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Dereck Jeffries 3 wd]

On Rodri kicking the away or in the direction of their player? Kicking the ball away happens often in other games ( eg Merseyside derby earlier) and no booking we do it booked almost every time!

Laws seem to be introduced to protect officials more than players. The untouchables.

A quick question: If Rodri's kicking the ball away had gone in the net, would it have needed a VAR review to prove the tight offside, and therefore should not get a yellow? I genuinely am not sure.

I thought it did go in the net?

Personally thought the longer the game went on the worst the ref got.

And he was stood like a statue at times getting in everybody’s way.

I will have a word with a lady I sometimes talk to when walking my dog. Her husband is one of the assessors. I did politely enquire as to what team they all support from her family. The question was ignored. Also interesting is that her son In law is Anthony Taylor.

Can we all join you on your dog walks?

It did

2nd yellow for Akanji looks an awful decision on TV. Compare that to the Konate one at Anfield.

Apparently he gave the linesman a mouthful

Think it was the alcohol fumes the linesman took exception to.

I thought it seemed soft at the game but having just seen it back on TV it was never a yellow. The one for Rodri was ridiculous also.
