Ref Watch

[TinFoilHat]

Not to us but 4 nil could make a huge difference to Leeds. Its bent.

Good point.

Keeps it all good for "Survival Sunday"

 

[Blue Mist]

As I've just stated, 3 or 4 nil isn't an issue for us but if the penalty is given you would also have to consider a red card. (Harsh but as they say 'seen them given')
If I was a Leeds or Leicester fan I would be very pissed off about goal difference and the reserve keeper having to play at least one match.

Bent.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Maybe Webb on his new programme can chat through why that wasn’t a penalty as I can’t see any reason for it not to be. Pickford just punched him in the back of head with the ball nowhere near.

 

[Blueboy73]

How is that not a penalty?

How?

Anthony Taylor that's how.
Laughable when you consider the one he gave The Tarquins against us.

 

[FantasyIreland]

This prick in the Tarquins game is clueless and incompetent,and down right fucking dangerous in respect of not recognising a dangerous challenge.

The standard of official these days is abysmal.

Haaland is being officiated to a different standard because he is a unit.Its not right and it stinks,but its very much the case.

Corruption and cheating in plain sight.

Two hands in his face, knocked over, no other players in the post code.

If the the ref didn’t see it he should be sacked.

VAR did see it, in slomo, from several angles and several times and chose not to award it.

It was as obvious as the offside at the out of town franchise dome.

Scandalous decisions which demonstrate how outcomes can be manipulated.

Wait till UEFA set their lackies to work on Wednesday !!

 

[SebastianBlue]

Still angry about this call.

Giddy as fuck, mind. But also angry about yet another example of officials choosing to “balance” matches over applying the rules fairly.

I’ve noticed that and agree 100%.
Just because he’s a big unit, it doesn’t make a foul not a foul

Just watching the highlights and Taylor giving Everton a free kick for a push in the box by Gundo - contrast that with the assault on Erling by Pickford, which he (and VAR) thought was fine. How do these wankers get away with it?

Couldn’t agree more - They will have been discussing Wednesday and how best to see City off - I reckon they will go for an early sending off

Not even shown on the highlights on MOTD.

Odd responding to my own post - I don’t really care anymore - I know what we are, I know how good we are, I know, I don’t care what “they” do, think, say or manipulate - we are absolutely fabulous, beautiful and incomparable- end of.

Unfortunately they are getting away with it ..

My feed showed that foul by gundo 4 times and push is really stretching it. Seems contact by city player is foul but against even punches are allowed. The benchmark is awful and they can’t be so incompetent so have to be bent

 

[Blue Mist]

The Martinelli challenge was a red all day long. It was premeditated and basically an assault. The only reason I can think of for him not getting a red card is that it was 5 minutes into the game. I assume the refs are under orders to keep it 11 v 11 at all costs to ensure viewers stay watching. If I'm correct that is corruption. I could also add that a red would have all but ended the title race and nobody wants that with 3 games to go do they.

Worth remembering everything that Everton got up to at corners too, outrageous what they were allowed to do, like fucking wrestling at times.

 

[gazinho]

The worst decision yesterday, and there was some competition, was the failure to book Holgate when he dragged Mahrez down after about 5 minutes, presumably due to that law (that doesnt exist) about it being too early in the game

Because match of the day didn’t deem it worthy of their attention?

 

[plattlanebenches]

Dermot you tosser! Haarland just as much to blame! Bwahahahaha
