Ref Watch

Fucking shit again tonight. Marriner almost as bad as Moss. Almost.
Didn't think there was much difference, we breathe near an opponent, free kick, they foul one of ours, nothing given, until it's 3-0, then even the stats up by giving nothing free kicks in our favour.

Couldn't deny any of our goals, or the penalty (but they VAR checked that to see if Sergio slipping could get it chalked off).
 
Wouldn't say he got every decision wrong tonight. I reckon he gave us about 1 in 5 of the actual fouls committed but at least he did give the penalty as even PGMOL would've been embarrassed at missing 2 in a row. No doubt someone will still come along and say Tosin got a touch on the ball though ;)
 
Nothing major or controversial but it was like a death of a thousand small cuts with all the niggling stuff from Fulham. I watched it on a BT stream that had Joleon on where the commentator praised a lot but he missed as much as Marriner.
Euro ref next who should be better.

If you watch the spin on the ball afterwords with the Hubble telescope, you can actually see that he did.
 
After 8 minutes Lookman had already ran through from an off side position and the lines man did not raise his flag, City also had a player running through from an off side position and the lines man raised his flag straight away, i have got to admit at that point i though here we go again with one set of rules for us and another for the opposition, as it happens they affected the game very little, the lines person has affected City`s results over the last decade far more than refs mainly because no one remembers the names, anyway Marriner was shit as usual clearly he hates Jesus

I said in the match thread that Mariner appeared to be wanting to let the game flow, letting 5 or 6 go for them... right up to the point that City committed anything close to a foul, and then he blew his whistle.

It was blatant. Then when we went 3 up he started giving fouls against them just to get his ratio up to make his stats look fair. The refereeing stats do not tell the full story of the game.
