Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Roachy]

Once again not the best game from a ref, but a special mention to the spurs players who managed to end up on their arse from the slightest contact. They were pathetic at times and made our victory that little bit sweeter.

There was a time in the first half when a City player picked up the ball in our own half and broke quickly with the ball, 3 spurs players slid in to tackle and each time swung through the trailing leg trying to bring him down. It was only through really exceptional skill that he managed to evade it and carry it on. All 3 should have been bookable tackles but were waived through because he avoided them. Poor officiating didn't go back and book them.

If they were bookable because they were trying to stop an attack, then I believe the rule is no yellow, as the attack was allowed to continue.

Agree fully, I'm starting to get a little disappointed though in Doku who seems to be heading down that route.

He needs to realise we get fuck all and going down theatrically isn't going to cut it and give him even less chance of any protection from the officials.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned here but Bob’s goal was onside
The VAR lines were drawn incorrectly (deliberately!)
Unfortunately I can’t upload the image as file is too large but am sure someone can

I just cannot see neither why nor how refs consistently award free kicks for the slightest contact that sends a 13 or 14 stone lump to the ground. These are athletes turned cheats. Everyone knows what they're at, even Kyle joined in last night with a swanee! And have a player clattered and horizontalised in mid-air, particularly clad in sky blue, and it's just waved away! It's always good when the offended manager is picked up by the broadcaster and is midway through haranguing the 4th official who, to his or her or their credit, has a look on their face of utter and total embarrassment at what his colleague has just offered the audience.

 

[york away to this!]

Richarlason is a ****.

Is that why Pep was having a go at the lino at the end?

That was the shoulder challenge with Kev when they got the free kick I think?

That shoulder charge with Kev shows the referee don't know the game! Two players running then coming together one taller broader goes down and if a free kick to him!

If KDB goes down there do we get a pen? Do we f¥€k

That was when Pep got the yellow card.
