Ref Watch

[East Level 2]

Harsh booking for KDB today.


;-)

KDB should be allowed one of those hacks per game due to the kickings he usually gets. Spanish Dave should have had similar dispensation to kick out occasionally. And Raz.

I loved his thought process.

ASM has got the ball.
He’s fast.
Cant I be arsed running after him?
No.
Cynical trip.

Depends who you are playing

I have never known a season where the LotG are applied with such variable abandon. I attend The Etihad and The Academy these days and know that we have to score a sufficient number of legitimate goals to bypass the vagaries of application which refs adopt as standard.

What is found noticeable today was the number of times our player making a pass was bumped and barged, hitting the turf, to make sure he couldn't partake of any further part in the move he had just begun.

Yeah, they were snidey at that all game.

I did laugh at Sterling being belly flopped twice by the same player and him only getting booked once for it.

I actually though he was ok.

 

[Holcombe bloo]

You know who I think city should employ ? Mark halsey, get him on the pitch to review the games at half time and city square afterwards. Embarrass the bent useless bastards!

A penalty can only be given if the wresting continues after the corner is taken.
Atwell might be a spineless clown but he can't ignore pushing and shoving before the ball is kicked so had to warn the defender concerned. I'm not sure even Newcastle players are stupid enough to continue holding opponents in the penalty area while the ball is in play.

Well Dan Burn was again busy hauling Laporte to the ground when Rodri scored.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Thought he was OK. Weve certainly been on the end of far worse officiating this season.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

I can only recall one thing he got wrong all game, and that was when Burn ploughed through the back of de Bruyne to win a header and the ref only stopped the game for the head knock and then played on with a drop ball to Newcastle instead of a City free kick.

Good game by the ref really.
