Ref Watch

[Wretched Vengeance]

Martin Atkinson was the ref in the derby when Ashley Young scythed down Aguero for what should have been a penalty.

And now he also sees fuck all wrong with that challenge on Foden. Dodgy ****.

Aguero was very lucky not to have suffered serious injury.

What's the odds on City getting a controversial penalty when we are next in a comfortable winning position. Ie 3-0 up with 10 mins to go.

That way they can say it evens itself out over the season, and that City had a helping hand, unlike the poor Red teams who are hard done by.

He's a rag, pure and simple. Go look at Keith Hackett's comments about him, absolutely scathing.

Atkinson was also the ref when he went way beyond the 5 minutes injury time at OT to let Michael Owen score. He's dangerous when it comes to City matches.

This is the image just before Young makes contact with Aguero, half way up his lower leg.

Completely out of control, wild and reckless.

You can see the Southampton goalkeeper gets a touch on the ball in both clips shown in these Twitter posts. It is only a very slight touch. In both clips, the ball deviates very slightly immediately after Foden kicked the ball. In one of the clips, the ball changes direction when in the air, so it can't be because of spin.

I genuinely, and with complete honesty, cannot see a touch on the ball by the keeper.

Because there isn't one.

Me neither because there isn't 1, had keeper touched it ball it would have gone to Foden's

Atkinson is a tosser (which of them isn't?) but he was Fourth Official on Wednesday, not VAR ref

That was Andy Madley.

That is the real scandal here. Atkinson and Taylor are fervent rags, it isn’t a secret, yet the PGMOL let them ref the rags and their direct rivals, where predictably they seek to influence results to suit their allegiance. It is just unbelievable in a multi billion pound industry with constant media focus that it gets swept under the carpet.
