Ref Watch

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.

clear & obvious.
 
To be fair to Sky, for once only, ratface did say quite a few times that the Dallas injury was completely Tierney's fault because of poor refereeing.

Don’t think he was corrupt today but he was very weak. How we ended up with 2 cards in 3 fouls and them 1 in 13, not to mention about 15 more he ignored, i think he was scared/influenced by the crowd and if so, has no business officiating.
That ignored penalty at the end with Dipper England on Var summed it up.

Pep should call him out as he let them get away with murder today and lost his control. Dallas not getting sent off and us getting 2 cards shows the officiating we are up against. Dippers would have had every free kick he ignored for us today and them about 5 cards.
In February he booked 9, 6 Leeds and 3 Rags in a game, today he let them kick us with impunity, zero consistency

At what point does it change from officials being incompetent/shit to it being part of the system, it happens so often?

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.

Just to correct you. They received one booking, Firpo. (I think the manager may gave been booked)
