It is if you cut out the other stuff I wrote.Isn't that something of an oxymoron?

No matter how many times our people were fouled. The first one was right in front of us and the guy was standing in the box.The rag/dip press rage at our penalty last weekend meant we were not getting one today, VAR smoke and mirrors
Agreed.What about the handball? there wasn’t a single frame that showed it wasn’t at least on the line. Most it looked over!
Any of the ball on the line and it’s a pen… so it’s a pen.
I just cannot understand the mentality of those governing the sport and arbitrating the sport who allow it to continue and get worse. What are goalkeepers trying to do when they catch a ball standing on two feet and then immediately flop to the ground. The amount of time wasted in every game at The Etihad is just staggering. Laporte was down for six, their goalie wasted another five with his blatant timewasting. VAR and timekeeping are the two ways that the sport can arrive at a preferred outcome, regardless of what has gone on during a game.Ignoring the big decisions, today the ref is to blame for the way the game was played. Disrupting it at every opportunity rather than letting ones that could go actually go is such a shit mentality to have for a referee.
And don’t get me started on timewasting. Their player ran past a ball boy trying to give him a ball just to get one further away. Cheating wankers. Hate it.
im a massive city fan.Yes, you, the officials, who are “independent”, and the pundits, who are also “independent”, are never wrong.
When you double like a post then have to like it againHe is just being a contrarian to troll. If he continues he’ll get some time off.
There are no angles of the handball that show it was clearly outside the box. In fact, every angle appears to show it was at worst *just* inside the box. VAR ignored it because they could (because the referee didn’t give it).
He is also ignoring any responses that clearly call out all of the small decisions by the ref that favoured Brentford, including the persistent fouling of our players in the box, including the ref whistling *after* Kev had already taken a corner so he could avoid having to give a penalty (Stones being pulled down); that is actually against the laws of the game but he knows there’s no mechanism for him to be held accountable for that, so he does it anyway. And he apparently didn’t “see” VAR ignoring the rugby tackle on Laporte on the box.
Or the many times Haaland was dragged down.
Wow you are clueless or just wumming?nothing wrong with the ref today. shed your bias
he's right..Wow you are clueless or just wumming?
It was the Rag Coote on Var who was the worst, gave us nothing and has a stadium photo of the Swamp with him standing in front of it as his LinkedIn profile and then u have him officiating the Rags v Villa where 2 Rags should have had reds

Check page 26 of the Carabou thread. His main larger banner image was the Swamp, now removed.Here is the aforementioned Coote at Wembley in his LinkedIn profil picture. Nice effort at a new rhetoric though

Ooh, you mentioned Coote’s picture again!Today was clear evidence of manipulation.
The Laporte penalty shout was a clear penalty, Kevs one would have been soft but still a penalty, the defenders knee hit him, and I bet now after the game they yet again find an angle that shows the 1st one was in the box.
Bankes is weak, a Var official put in charge and rarely makes a Var call. The incident when he played the advantage for them, then with their player in clear control of the ball, blew and brought it back for a free kick. Nice easy way to waste 45 seconds. Plus he let them time waste with immunity.
Coote, todays Var, is a name I rarely notice but his performance in the week for the Rags v Villa where he 1) Let Ratface kick the ball away in dissent and did not book him as per the laws of the game 2) Booked McTominoy instead of the correct red card 3) Most blatantly failed to give Slabhead a 2nd yellow, as clear a yellow as you get, made me suspicious of him.
By the way, up to today he had a photo of himself standing in front of an empty Rags stand as his main photo on his LinkedIn profile and he was Formerly employed as Football Development Manager by Manchester CFA responsible for football and facility development across Greater Manchester, following extensive development experience.
That photo now, today, has been removed by him.
Dodgy as fuck

That’s still Wembley, however many times you try to suggest it isn’t,Check page 26 of the Carabou thread. His main larger banner image was the Swamp, now removed.

Just the hard core agenda nutcases on here tonight!
Ah that photoshopped image that was debunked years ago.Check page 26 of the Carabou thread. His main larger banner image was the Swamp, now removed.
lower res:
You think David Coote has a public Facebook page? Are referees even allowed to have a Facebook account?And again, with his now removed large banner image, better quality on page 26 of the Carabou thread:
The Swamp large banner photo was on his linkedin page, its now removedYou think David Coote has a public Facebook page? Are referees even allowed to have a Facebook account?
It’s clearly a fake.
Not in the image you showed. That’s clearly a Facebook account.The Swamp large banner photo was on his linkedin page, its now removed
