Ref Watch

[Phil1]

Sky sports viewers tend to just agree with what they are being told, especially as it tends to benefit a team in red.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Ref Watch is basically just a filler for Sky with Dermot used as the PiGMOL stooge to deflect the obvious incorrect/ dubious / corrupt decisions of their weekend choice .

Warnock and Smith are there for the sole reason of being able to represent the dipper opinion to any situation whether relevant or not.

ie a complete and utter waste of time and source of frustration to any genuine football supporter .

Best to ignore the fucking thing imo

 

[Tracking back]

If its not a yellow, its a red. Whoever said they'd whitewash the decisions on "ref watch" was spot on. Not like Fabinho's was a glancing hook, it was full on the ankle with the ball gone. As for Rodri's phantom push on Thiago causing him to slice De Bruyne, Fabinho steamrolling into Jesus in the first half, flooring Walker in the build up to KDBs goal. They see things however suits them. Downright laughable!

Yet despite all the help the dippers get from Pigmol it must really wind the fuckers up that they're still trailing us in the league.

This is what Pep means when he says "we have to do it all ourselves".

Dermot Gallagher, "nobody is talking about Anthony Taylor which tells you he had a great game " oh fucking really, all the city fans are talking about him because he had a shocker, this is typical sky, pandering to the red shirts as ever, I've even seen dipper fans saying they should have had at least one red.

 

[Bozzie]

Not sure if the Sky presenter (wasn’t the usual one) was having a cheeky dig at PGMOL, the PL, VAR but, when the idiot Warnock was creaming himself over the ‘success’ of the new thicker lines used for offside, he commented “and just saved the Premier League season”!!

Situations for red cards in both games: Milner at Anfield, Thiago and Fabinho at the Etihad. The Milner one was clear-cut, the other were more contentious, but the debatable decisions went Liverpool's way. Officials have helped them to challenge us. Fair play is important, the brand is more important, though.

The brand is built on corruption. It's not a fair competition.

As inconsistent and infuriating as i expected. Least he didn't give a pen, seems to be a lot less diving from there front three than i expected for once.

They barely got in our box all match.

Very true, even for freekicks, they stayed more upright that usual.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Red watch is one of the most pointless segments on any sports station due the ingrained bias of the two scousers along with the pigmol company man completely skewing the reality of the previous day’s events to suit both their obvious biased view of events and also for the benefit of dozy dermot's pandering to the product.

If some of the decisions would have been the other way around the thoughts of these so called 'experts' would have been entirely different and pressure would be on dermot's mate's at pigmol to address this unacceptable series of events.

The shitstain of a company that these compromised individuals work for are complicit in this and are happy to pander to the nothing to see here narrative. That same company have had lesser decisions that go for us played on a loop on numerous occasions.

I detest the bastards.

dermott on Fabinho challange " not enough contact "

When it comes to gallagher (and that fuckin tramp walton) I tend to believe the opposite is true of what they’re about to say most (if not all) of the time when it comes to us.

They hardly got in the box, to be fair...

I doubt that will be the case to the end of the season

Gallagher

"Taylor reffed the game fantastically"

Just fuck the fuck off you absolute cockwomble

fan·tas·ti·cal·ly
adverb

i INFORMAL
extraordinarily well.
"every single player performed fantastically"
ii in a strange or exotic way.
"the whole show was fantastically twisted"

Which do you suppose he meant?

 

[Father Paul]

new laws of game = red for city player, yellow for opposition player or nothing if already cautioned

I think a bit of perspective is needed here. The man with the whistle, looked at objectively, did ok yesterday. Sure he might have given a red or a second yellow but then again nothing was clear and obvious despite the outpouring of emotion on here. AT did not impact in any significant way the outcome of yesterday's game.
The arguments presented here that he would have sent off men in blue for the same transgressions is pure conjecture. As was the case in the first game we were marginally the better team but failed to win because of poor finishing and in yesterday's case two defensive lapses which cost us goals.
The media coverage is a more clear cut matter and a built in bias does appear to exist in favour of the reds and Micah is probably not the best tool to counter this.

Could you say with any level of conviction that Fern wouldn't have been sent off for an identical challenge?

 

[Damanino]

funny that its not the experts, pundits etc. are shocked, but only the "fans".
if it went the other way you would have Collymore, Hamann, Neville, Carragher, talksport fools being shocked...

 

[ballbag]

I demand an apology by phone call!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Penalising Kev for getting hacked down by Thiago should see Taylor done as a top level ref regardless of how he reffed the rest of the game imo.

Having seen it back, Rodri pushed Tiago into making that challenge whilst off balance.
