Should have just pretended you supported Altrincham *nudge nudge wink wink*, would have gotten plenty of our league games then, we might even have stayed up.It was very low down the football chain. The game was City Youth v Walsall Youth, maybe in the early nineties. City won 2-0. Lee was chairman at the time. He came into our dressing room, introduced himself, and welcomed us to Maine Road. Nice touch.
The appointment was made by Manchester County FA. There are no club allegiance problems at that level.
Which ball?I can't believe people can't see that Macarthy got a touch on the ball. Look at those two clips again, and look only at the ball. You can clearly see the ball take a slight change in direction after Foden kicks it forward. It is as plain as day. In the clip from behind, you can see the ball ultimately goes at a tangent to the direction Foden kicks it.
And the opposite angle shows he's nowhere near the ball to impart a direction change, so for something you say is 'as plain as day' it clearly isn't. Anyway, it's a moot point as either way it's still a foul.I can't believe people can't see that Macarthy got a touch on the ball. Look at those two clips again, and look only at the ball.

The ball of Fodens foot obviously.Which ball?
Only if Franny took the penaltiesShould have just pretended you supported Altrincham *nudge nudge wink wink*, would have gotten plenty of our league games then, we might even have stayed up.
his ownWhich ball?
Some people just don't fucking read, it has been said 1000 time's it was MadleyAtkinson is a tosser (which of them isn't?) but he was Fourth Official on Wednesday, not VAR ref
That was Andy Madley.
Chris Foy said "from one camera angle it looks like the GK might have got a slight touch on the ball, but looking from the other camera angles you can clearly see this was not the case"I can't believe people can't see that Macarthy got a touch on the ball.

How else would Mr Scudamore get his outcome. Trouble is we're too bloody good, generally.Great to hear many of our rivals managers coming out and challenging VAR after the Foden incident.
Dyce summed it up perfectly while commenting on the overall shit state of the game when he said 'you get nothing for trying to do the right thing and everything for doing the wrong thing'
When you watch the Dippers and the Rags,the two most shithouse clubs for manufacturing a decision,its abundantly evident that we are officiated to in a very different manner.
Decisions used to balance themselves out over a season,but for us,those days have long gone,and that isn't down to anything other than intervention and corruption.
You have to admire their continued,although ultimately unsuccesful,efforts to derail us though.......the pathetic,bitter,cunts.
But what you have not realised was that it was Foden who kicked the ball onto MaCathy’s foot that doesn’t mean the keeper played the ball. The two footed tackle was crude and dangerous, that was a penalty for anybody but us.I can't believe people can't see that Macarthy got a touch on the ball.

Why not - would it be a give away that he DIVED not fouled.And a triple salchow, don't forget the triple salchow.
He might've even gone for a quadruple...
... oh, wait... no... he won't be going for one of those...
Nah. Even Southampton centre backs have been taught the Fosbury Flop should a gnat land on their shoulder now. Totally within the laws of the game.Why not - would it be a give away that he DIVED not fouled.
Yes the Fosbury Flop is a good comparison for some divers particularly Salah.Nah. Even Southampton centre backs have been taught the Fosbury Flop should a gnat land on their shoulder now. Totally within the laws of the game.
What's more disturbing in that list is that Oliver had given a penalty in nearly every game he's reffered this seasonSurely you'll find a better overview, but I had a look at ref's stats,
only PL matches 20/21:
Ref on field........PL matches....Yellows.....Reds....Penalties
Atkinson....................22............51..........2...........2.....
Oliver.......................21............62..........1...........15....
Taylor.......................19............51..........2...........10....
Dean........................18............62..........5............6....
Marriner....................18............48..........0............7....
Tierney.....................18............70..........2............5....
Friend......................17............37..........2............4....
Moss........................17............37..........0............4....
Attwell.....................16............67..........1............5....
Kavanagh..................16............47...........0............3....
Pawson.....................15............57..........2.............6....
I know it's just this season, but at a quick look I have highlighted some numbers (in relation to matches reffed).
Atkinson is defo cautious with penalties.
There might be a handful of clubs who wouldn't get that, but there are two for whom it would be nailed on and the added bonus of a red card. Reckless, indifferent tackle that could have bust an ankle or a shin. If yer gonna make a tackle like that you have to nigh on certain yer gonna get the ball. The goalie made a bollocks of the back pass and tried to redeem the situation with a wild challenge. I can excuse Jonny Iron Lung when I'm in a good moment for not having a clear view, although the whole point of a ref running round the field is to obtain the best view he can get, but there is no excuse for VAR not coming up with a pen. The decision and deliberately selected view of the incident and chosen camera angles sits perfectly with the Turkish ref getting fed up with VAR in the game of Llorente's arm/goal. It's dereliction, and if it's not dereliction is fucking bare-faced, brass-necked cheating.But what you have not realised was that it was Foden who kicked the ball onto MaCathy’s foot that doesn’t mean the keeper played the ball. The two footed tackle was crude and dangerous, that was a penalty for anybody but us.
He gave 3 in one game against usWhat's more disturbing in that list is that Oliver had given a penalty in nearly every game he's reffered this season
Just how many has fatty Moss givenWhat's more disturbing in that list is that Oliver had given a penalty in nearly every game he's reffered this season
