Ref Watch

The one on Gundogan, I thought was a yellow (as I thought the Stones one the other week should have been too). Some would have given red for it too.

All the rest, and there were a considerable amount, were shockers though.

For once the MEN got it right on last nights game. Stuart Brennan article on the referee and VAR performance spot on.

The breathtaking level of disregard by commentators like Townsend for what is there for all to see is bonkers. The Jesus incident was a reckless tackle where the ball may have brushed the underside of the defenders foot on his way to take out Jesus. I cannot conceive any situation where they would not be up screaming penalty if it was one of their paymasters.

I couldn’t believe the mumbling and waffling going on between him and Darke, each incident was brushed over as in definitely not a foul, pen or whatever to City and absolutely brilliant by Brighton who deserve every success tonight as they’re absolutely brilliant and fantastic and did we say absolutely brilliant?

As I expected
Indefensible!

The Brighton player has just tried to injure Gundo plain and simple. That's a red card in any match. Anyone who has played football at any level knows that is not an accident. He had to stretch and lunge to get up so high. What the fuck is Peter Walton talking about when he says Gundo's leg wasn't "bent" so it's just a booking? What about intent to endanger an opponent? They are just taking us for bloody fools.

The problem is that who do you get to replace him ????? You should be looking at the lower league but trust me lads if you think the standard at the PL is bad then you ain’t seen nothing till you see how shockingly bad they are at our level :( and you wonder why the whole system is poor

There is only one person to blame for shocking officiating and that is the top man OMR.

Yes was a Sunday morning challenge just kicked him deliberately

Does anyone think they have the TV on in Stockley Park it's almost as if they are telling them what to give.

That performance from Atwell was 10 years in the making. I was there on 29th October 2011 when we managed to beat Wolves 3-1 with 10 men and that twat was in the middle that day. It seemed like every decision he made was the wrong one, any advantage he could give to Wolves he did, every time we protested it empowered him.

An absolute joke of a referee who stands proudly next the likes of Clattenburg, Walton, Oliver, Taylor, Moss, Mason as morally corrupt 'professionals' who seem to officiate in a pre determined manner against us rather than to the laws of the game.

Until we have a totally independent body who oversee the refereeing and VAR in this country I feel we will continue to have performances like yesterday's as the vested interest in others and the bias against us is there for all to see.

Unfortunately for the shitstains we keep hoovering up the trophies which clearly hurts them and I really believe the actions of these cockroaches in our game will only endear Pep Guardiola to us further and he will stay at City for a minimum of 10 years.

Let them have their wanky little wins while we keep ordering Industrial sized vats of Brasso.
