Ref Watch

How can the same ref who not long ago booked 6 Leeds players at their home game v Rags, also booking 3 Rags be so lenient with their fouling today.
We are clearly officiated differently, 2 bookings from 3 fouls compared to what they got away with should lead to an investigation but it wont.
Nothing in the media or MOTD about his performance, already swept under the carpet.
The club are far too soft, Klopps head would be exploding in the post match interview about that with the media highlighting it, its why they get away with so much as officials are spineless where they know we never make a fuss so it makes their job easier to give everything against us

For me, this is one of the ways they subtly influence the outcome of games.

Tierney immediately and confidently signaled no penalty for that foul on Sterling. This means he definitely saw the incident and didn't see the push (which was clear as day). If we hadn't scored, it would have been reviewed by VAR, and you would like to think the penalty would have been given.

However, those incidents can be deemed close, and often not overturned because they weren't a clear and obvious error.

Consider a similar incident where the referee immediately and confidently points to the penalty spot. Even if it is a bit of a dubious decision, it won't be overturned because again, it's not a clear and obvious error.

We get loads of the former decisions, like today. Liverpool and United get lots of the second kind of decision. We might get a small number of overturns and a few penalties awarded. Liverpool and United might have a few penalty awards overturned, but will keep the majority of their penalties.

They do a similar thing with yellow cards. A bad foul by players of certain clubs are immediately met with a yellow card, when it should be red. It is unlikely to be overturned, because the yellow card is a subjective opinion. It also cannot be reviewed retrospectively.

I was browsing the post match stats and after reading this had a look. Leeds 42 tackles, 13 fouls, 2 yellows. City 12 tackles, 3 fouls , 2 yellows. If that's not game management I don't know what is.
 
He started ok. Second the crowd was on his back it was like he couldn’t give us anything. Strange football, if you ask Leeds fans they’d say he was against them.
 
Probably one of the worst and inconsistent refereeing performances I have seen this season. He actually made poor decisions for both teams but we definitely got the worst of it. Dallas Committed 5 offences without receiving a card. His only intention was to foul Jack and unfortunately for him, in doing so, he caused himself a bad injury. Had Tierney booked him earlier, this would probably not have happened. Disgraceful officiatin.

"You're not fit to referee" because they wanted a booking for Grealish being fouled by Dallas, who injured himself. I know they don't get the benefit of replays in the stadium but it was clear as day who went in on who there.

Another weird set of fans who had a bee in their bonnet over Grealish. Seemingly he should be allowed to get consistently fouled and it be ok

Believe it? Of course you can, it's their default with ANYTHING contentious with us.

ALWAYS (or as often as is humanly possible without making it even more obvious than it already is) the default is NOT give it if it's FOR us, DO give it if it's AGAINST us; they sit back and watch VAR try to wriggle out of it if it can.

No accountability what-so-ever breeds confidence.

Tried to play advantage a couple of times and when it wasn’t forthcoming played on anyway. That’s not how it works.

I noticed that, he did it loads in the first half. I counted at least three cases where he broke up pretty promising attacks or periods of pressure with his bullshit.

One of ours got clattered, the ball broke free and Tierney looks like he's signaling to play advantage, but the ball ended up breaking to a Leeds player and he still looks like he's signaling for advantage.

Advantage?!
Play on?!
Same signal!

Like you say, that's not ho it works

A proper cheat refed us today.

Poor from Tierney today.

Two blatant fouls where Foden then Grealish didn’t go down but were affected enough to lose possession that weren’t given, epitomises what’s wrong with this sport so much. Diving was being encouraged by the referee there. Neither needed to go down and chose not to dive, but we’re punished for not doing so.

Then his reluctance to have a word with the Leeds captain and bring out the yellow card a few more times, ended up with JR Ewing ending his own season as he thought he could run round fouling our lads with impunity.

Serves the **** right, but all down to Tierney losing control of the game.

As it goes, I actually don’t think it was a foul that was given as a free kick for the opening goal, so fuck em!

Oh, it was.
 
Why don't you all grow a pair of bollocks, stand up for what's true and fair in the game and officiate games fairy to the best of your ability

Don't get swayed into blowing up at every red shirt dive or con and have a bit of self respect..

And do you know what, if you bunch of useless, bias twats tried just that little bit harder you'd get a lot more respect for the hard job you do from the rest of the countless millions who follow football...!
 
There was a point in the first half where I really thought Pep should have taken a yellow..
 
The fact that both the winners and losers of a 0-4 result think tierney is an incompetent bent **** should ring alarm bells that mean the twat never sees anything above league 2 henceforth.
