Ref Watch

[MCFC1993]

Best refereeing performance I've seen in the Premier League for a long time (probably not saying much).

Both teams had minor gripes but he protected the flair players whilst still allowing challenges to go in.

Thought he was excellent today. Fair play to him.

Yep Oliver was very good

Rudiger should have been booked well before he was, and the fact we got the first card was a JOKE, but apart from that he did okay.

Thought raising your hands to an opposition player was an automatic yellow card so why was Lukaku not booked for his push on Bernardo?

Well that would have been our gripe, they should have had the first card (Christiansen on Grealish too) but he still controlled the game, unlike the joker in the CL Final.

Have to say, I have no idea what warrants a yellow card anymore. Rudiger for me is a walking yellow but seems to get away with it time after time.

Usual anti City officiating by Oliver today. How they avoided so many card offences then of course we pick up the first card, and played just under 6 minutes from the 4 added on.

Without wishing to court controversy but your keeper and the Chelsea forward were being treated for 80 seconds when the 90 mins were up. More accurate time-keeping than anti- City officiating.

thug rudi should’ve seen red card .

There was a prolonged injury in stoppage time.

Sorry Mr Gabriel. I repeated your point, but it was a very good point.
