Ref Watch

Gray said:
In the very same game the onfield wanker and his mates in VAR commited an even bigger error when Casemiro cleaned out Akanji and deliberately stamped on his ankle and foot. The decision made by the numpty in charge was a free kick to the Rags and VAR stayed strangely silent about the whole thing.

And then there was "the kicking the feet from under KdB" episode! But the most telling reaction to the "penalty" came from Alistair Mann on City+ - "And now there's a problem. (incredulously)The referee's gone to VAR. And I think United might have a penalty here! Yep, handball against Jack Grealish! He's been called to the monitor! ... 9resigned but contemptuous) Well, he'll give a penalty, won't he? They always do! (Sees the replay and says very irritably and contemptuously) Oh, he'll give it." Alistair spoke not only for blues worldwide but for very nearly every football fan in England!
 
Apparently, the rags have only won two of their last 11 matches reffed by Taylor. Never sent off any opposition player and has shown double the yellow cards to utd players compared to the opposition. If those stats are kosher, they're surprising.

My grandson has just completed is course to become a referee. During the course they said, Jack's handball would no longer be considered a goal. They've also referenced Rashfords offside along with others, to be considered learning curves. How professional referees can't these wrong is beyond me

Learning curves fuck me, that would of been picked up by a 15 stone fag smoking lino avoiding the coins being thrown at him by Millwall fans in the 70s.
Big learning curve that, christ

Jack’s wasn’t a handball in the true meaning of the term, the ball barely brushed against a finger as it was heading towards the touchline. No way would that action have prevented the pathetic Rags from scoring an undeserved goal. VAR decide it’s a penalty and the ball is placed on the spot yards from the incident to give that ugly horrible fucker a free shot.

I for one will never forgive PGMOL for the injustice.

Looking back at that incident, I have gotten to think that, pathetic decision as it was, it only served to raise the utd supporters hopes, only to have them dashed again shortly after. I’m sort of ok with it now. After all it’s the hope that kills!

Rightly or wrongly, last season, any ball hitting an arm/hand over shoulder height was given as a penalty.

They aren’t all being now. That’s a little bit of progress.
 
Having watched the show last night, sending any player off that tries to talk to the referee during the VAR process would certainly help.

The referee is trying to talk with his team and can’t focus on both at once.

Just watching SS and ref watch with Mike Dean, analysisng the " incidents " in the rag game last week.

Both the sending off offence for Forest, plus the penalty for Rashford dive and the panel and Dean saying that neither should have been given, and both decisions favouring the rags. How fucking easy and safe when the points are already gifted .

What a fucking surprise with Attwell the bent **** being the ref and the rags needing a hand to get the points.

It is obviously just a " coincidence " that both shit decisions and the ref involved seem to favour the rags :)

Attwell is just piss poor. End of.

I haven’t got the images to post but it’s fucking unbelievable that the former referee Dermott Gallagher claims Akanji was in Leno’s eyeline but Salah wasn’t in the Villa keepers when he’s stood there looking at the exact opposite scenario. Don’t get me wrong, I think Akanji was offside and Fulham were unlucky in that decision, but he (Gallagher) then said Akanji “clearly attempts to play the ball” when he jumps over the thing to get out of the way!

So the useless bald chancer can read minds too. What a superhero.........

Did anyone else think like me that on Saturday Oliver didn't have the slightest interest in the game. I'm getting the impression when he turns up at The Etihad he would be sooner somewhere else. And when we score, and VAR, for shame, can't chalk it off, the look of disdain is one where he realises that someone has pissed in his half time cup of tea.

I'm the last person to defend one of these arseholes but to be fair Oliver looks permanently depressed. I guess it's what comes with waking up every morning realising you're Micheal Oliver.
 
Howie RedShirt has informed us that Oliver and the VAR wallah made a cock up of our second goal. How many cock-ups did Howie make over the years? The World Cup Final where he allowed the Dutch team carte blanche to nail anyone wearing a Spanish shirt shows us how good he was at whistling! Anyway, has that wonderful epithet within the LotG that points out that the ref is the final arbiter of fact been done away with or is it an attempt by Webb to make us believe that PiGMOL are fit for purpose?

He gave that look for Haaland's first in last season's home derby, looked really pissed off to give the goal.

He's one of those ref's who gives a lot of 50-50's the way of the opposition, and is certainly disproportionate in applying the LOTG... right up to the point we score a couple, and then he stops trying.
 
Refs getting pelters for not smiling enough now?

Perhaps they should try to inject a bit of humour, like Mike Dean? Ah, yeah, he gets pelters too.

In fact no referee can actually do anything right in lots of football fans‘ eyes.

All objectivity goes through the window. There isn’t a single officiating discussion thread. Simply confirmation bias ones.

Perhaps we should hear more or how they make decisions? Yeah, but not 3 in the same show as that shows they’re highlighting how City get more decisions in their favour until the time we really need it.

It gets easier to understand when the realisation that fans don’t want explanations really, they just want to vent.

I've never particularly noticed Oliver to be smiley and engaging on the pitch, so don't see anything untoward. It's a strange thing to be nettled by.
