Ref Watch

[waspish]

He was corrupt when we played the dippers , so much so the club complained about him

Yeah few years ago. Seems the last year he has calmed down a referee proper! Not today though.

8-2 on fouls in the first half. and we've had over 2/3 posession-Oliver doing his very best, not to mention getting in the passing lines on at least 3 occasions.

I watched this game with this mind, the foul count is always mentioned here. The facts are Utd wanted frees to relieve pressure and fell over accordingly. A free for City on the half way line is worthless to City 99,% of the time and possibly beneficial to Utd, 30 seconds of not being given the run around. I counted at least 3 advantages for City in the first half, they really should count when foul stats are counted up.

I said this earlier, Fernandes couldn't get to ground fast enough at any touch. City played on, and there were a lot of late kicks - it was like watching Allardyce's Blackburn who specialised in the late heel kick.

The clogging of de Bruyne near the halfway line, and the late shin rake looked bookable, apart from the deliberate kick from Fernandes right at the end.

The tackle by Càncelo early second half was never a yellow. It would have put him on a tightrope if the Rags had managed to get the ball

They were trying to do Kev here

Our players should have been in the refs face for that. Tbh that one and the virtual assault on the lfc player last week shows the bias clearly

An end-on angle would help, but that looked like he had nowhere really to go rather than moved into Greenwood's path.

 

[WestGorton]

Fernandes committed 6 yellow card tackles. Ronaldo a red card lunge as he knows he isn't fit to lace KDBs boots. Jesus was sliced down on the box.

NOTHING.

Bollocks

Charming. He did though

I'm not really talking about specific instances, I was only half watching the 2nd half but in the first half I do think the free count was a lot closer if you count advantages. The Ronaldo one was weird, it was like the players almost felt privileged to be assaulted by someone so special. That was a red all day long and the foul immediately before it was as stonewall a yellow as you will ever see.

Oliver was a disgrace today, twice we had players taken out but Oliver waved play on. Didn’t go back and book them after. Absolute disgrace

 

[moomba]

He did just nick the ball first before taking him out

So a penalty then.

 

[herrock]

So a penalty then.

Agreed

 

[blue b4 the moon]

...which has absolutely ZERO relevance as to whether or not it's a foul/penalty.
You've been watching too much Sky/BT football mate, and have swallowed the bullshit reasoning they peddle.

It's the same as when they used to say "there was contact, he's got every right to go down, it's a penalty" which was also bullshit and never in the rules, but after they peddled their biased bollocks reasoning, EVERYBODY repeated it ad infinitum.

100% penalty by the LotG for us today.

Ah, but even though he made contact with the ball the follow through caught him so it's a red for John Stones, oh hang on I'm thinking of another rule......it was a cast iron pen, Arlo & Dixon were laughing that it hadn't been given on my feed.

The manipulation of the play on rule is classic game management. It can be used by a referee who wants to avoid booking players from a particular team. It can also be used to avoid even giving a foul when the attacking team have no obvious advantage. It's corruption, and it is BLATANTLY obvious.

This was a typical Crap7 response to being outplayed.
So there's already a decision made - doesn't give players the right to do that. I was amazed VAR didn't call for a review

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

We beat the Rag's, but I'm still absolutely FUMING about the way the game was officiated.

CORRUPT BUNCH OF BASTARDS!!!

You're not really amazed though are you?

No - sadly - you're right :). I should think harder before posting that where we're concerned lol
