Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[pauls]

I’ve come to the conclusion that the current bunch are sociopaths.
No feelings, no remorse, no nothing. They are all dead behind the eyes.
I can’t believe a normal functioning human being doesn’t watch back their performances and be embarrassed by the ineptitude.
These are the best a multibillion pound company can come up with?
I’m now inclined to believe they are just really shit at their job but don’t care because they, like I said are sociopaths.
It’s the only explanation.

Thought Mason,Mariner, Moss,Atkinson, Dean were absolutely useless but this current lot are fucking abysmal and a disgrace.Listened to the Webb and Owen charade where the audio of two blokes in a room deciding a penalty for Newcastle is possibly the most unprofessional output I've heard in a long time and Webb is stood there like a Cheshire Cat orchestrating it all.
They are ruining the enjoyment.Against Chelsea we had 6subs,2 VAR calls and countless time-wasting and we got FOUR minutes. Pep is constantly pointing out we get no favours, considering what we have to deal with on and off the pitch our success is remarkable.

These are kids who grew up without toys, without light entertainment and without any sense of joy that comes with mixing with others.
Pretty sure there’s an underground factory at St George’s park where they grow refs from scratch.

 

[eyalluvitt]

It was over before we even scored and i don't think i'm joking.

Was Watching the Spanish channel as NBC had an annoying woman and what sounded like Jimmy Nail commentating and they had 2-0 up for like 30 seconds

 

[salfordbluetrue]

There is a procedure for complaining, it is not effective, but it acknowledges a problem, and does make refs think twice.
The Club officially writes to the PL asking for observations on the officials performance and consistency, listing the queries, Chelsea for example would be the 3 fouls for pushing given to Chelsea, as compared to Haaland getting wrestled to the floor and Walker getting pushed and cropped, clarification on the handball and when it did or did not change after it became deliberate, also Bernardo`s booking as compared to the stamp on Doku.
The Club need to support Pep because if they do not this will get worse, a lot worse, we will see a player sent off for walking aggressively, or something just as stupid.

I hate to think that they are trying to stop us but the last 3 games shows they are. Last night was a joke he was defo under instructions.

They are also the kid who got his ears flicked and dinner money nicked not to mention all their panini stickers which is the closest they ever got to football except from being picked last……..” you can have Twatenburgher too” ….” ffs we don’t want him”. ….”tough you had last pick”

They know they're not going to win the 115 charges bullshit, so they are now full on with the officiating bias to stop us, I'll be amazed if we're allowed to have Rodri in the rags, dippers and arse games.
A pal of mine watched tonights game with me and he knows naff all about football and he couldn't believe the decisions being made, especially the freekick in the 1st half where the Brentford player did a full on swan dive when Bernie was a yard away from him.
It is a f****** disgrace, if it was in the states some of these officials would be getting bumped off.

 

[skillman]

That **** last night is one of the worst I’ve seen. He gave their keeper more thumbs up than he did warnings, taken for a ride by their players all night. Dafty.

 

[Kippax77]

The 'ghost foul' by Foden on Wissa was eerie.
He was staring straight at it and looks vacant within the face as he blows for a foul when there was no contact.
The need to give Brentford some kind of advantage outweighed the reality of the situation in his pre programmed head.
Really strange decision

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

The same shit, game after game. It’s no coincidence.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Anyone who thinks we aren’t reffed differently to the likes of rags dippers and arse is either demented or Alan harpers tash. The shit that the Brentford keeper got away with tonight was disgusting, and it’s the same every game. The refs allow teams to time waste like fuck against us in a way they don’t against the other teams and it’s completely transparent and completely anti football. That clown tonight didn’t have a single word with the Brentford keeper, time wasting stop start ****. Strangely in the last 20 minutes the fucker realised he could run

My only surprise last night was Ederson avoiding a booking for timewasting. Thought that would have been an absolute certainty at our 1st goal kick after taking the lead.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Subtly blocking some of our passing lines. So much so Phil nearly tackled him at one point.

He was awful if not bent....56 mins for a free kick, became a magician actually turning delays into injury time as we were only leading by one.

As for passing lines, I think you I and others give them too much credit, it's just shit positioning as they've got little knowledge of the game at the top level as they've grown up watching and supporting Ashton United, Alty etc.

 

[Prater70]

Don't think we've had Simon Hooper since his corrupt genuine little mistake have we.
Wonder if things got said by the club, behind the scenes

And I don't think Atwell at home.

 

[BringBackSwales]

If we had a word about every shit ref we’d only have Gillett left to ref us

 

[Iassel]

The ref is a known Dipper supporter.

Eh? He’s no longer allowed to ref Liverpool matches as he was the VAR when Diaz’s goal was disallowed.

Thought Mason,Mariner, Moss,Atkinson, Dean were absolutely useless but this current lot are fucking abysmal and a disgrace.

I mean PGMOL know that, they’ve tried to weed many of them out for being either old or incompetent, but they got struck down to such an extent that the fitness test isn’t worthy of the name and refs can basically go on until 55.

If you take a look at the Championship it’s full of youngish refs now that PGMOL are fast tracking through so that they can have a wider pool and stop having to give the same old names important matches.

 

[hertsblue]

Madley invoved with us again so soon after his Chelsea performance, this time on Var v Bournemouth. PGMOL are laughing at us.
Oliver gets Rags v Fulham so he can be formally introduced to Ineos

how's he not allowed to ref red dipper matches?? Is this some kind of rule that if an official "fucks up" against a team, he can't officate them again? If that's the case, there would be a very small pool for city to choose from. Or does this just apply to the scouse cheats?

Probably just a coincidence

 

[Blue Mist]

I think the refs in the premier league are just shit rather than they have some kind of vendetta against us, or its a conspiracy against us.

For that to be true Brentford would have suffered in a similar manner to us. I cannot think of one instance last night where they could have moaned about a decision against them.

 

[Blue Mist]

I see no Defenders of the Ref have been on here yet !
How about this one. Foden is in full flow and blatantly pushed in the back to send him sprawling...... no foul despite Brentford getting several for the slightest contact.
Or, Doku is pushed making him miskick, the ball goes goes 40 yards back towards our goal. Advantage played. How is that an advantage ?
Or, nah, you know what, it's not worth it. It is so blatant and obvious.
