Ref Watch

[HolisticJim]

The extra time thing is such an easy thing to have clarity of if they just displayed it on the screen.

With something so simple which has attracted such a negative response for literally years and years... You have to wonder why they won't show it and question the motives.

You can only draw negative conclusions which then leads you to question other things.

Wonder which set of rules are going to be used at today's Cuntchops Derby?

 

[waspish]

The one who is going to control the game is the bloke on Var who is it? Madly is the referee a passive goon

Yesterday in the Southampton v Leicester match, the ball went over to Walcott who was offside, didn’t touch the ball but the Lino but the flag up straight away and the ref blew the whistle - obviously wasn’t United playing

Found it funny Pope WAS still timewasting when they went a goal down.

And the ref still let him time waste

But as Forest showed it’s a tactic for the opposition. Keep it at 1-0 and you are still in the game and hope the “one shot, one goal” law comes into play

That's it in a nutshell. While it's only 1-0 the shitehouse tactics will continue. They need to get a grip of it because fans are getting fed up paying to watch shit like this. Something else I noticed yesterday was there was a real heads collision between Ake and one of theirs which SHOULD have resulted in a stoppage. However Newcastle were attacking and the ref allowed play to continue until they missed the chance. Only then did he call on the trainers.

Not only that but he booked Ake. The most bizarre decision of the day. He’s really is a shit ref

They should be made to explain this.

Too right. It’s bloody insane how differently we are reffed, never mind the VAR cheating. I find it almost impossible to talk about this or similar with non City fans who don’t watch us week in week out - they just can’t fathom it and think you are mad. It really does take away from our football

 

[TinFoilHat]

I find it suspicious that Andy Madeley has got the biggest game in world club football today.

Spitty or Ratboy will be tearing him a new one at full time.

 

[halfcenturyup]

I must be getting numb to it all, as I didn't think he was too bad today, he certainly wasn't great, but we've had a lot worse imho.

Overall, I thought the same. There were some weird things, though. Play stopping for Joelinton holding his foot - when did that become a thing. Not stopping play after a nasty-looking collision. Then booking Ake for it. Blowing his whistle at Ederson when two up.

Btw, I thought you couldn't give a yellow card if you played advantage? Not sure why not, in all honesty, but isn't that the rule?

 

[Stephen230]

A few City players should go and listen to the “team talk”.

Gordon tried doing that when Grealish was getting some instructions and Dias shoved him away.

You should see the outrage in the Geordie contingent on Twitter over this. They’re crying for a red card.

You can play advantage & then go back for a caution. However, every training course I have ever been on, they tell you that you should not play advantage on any yellow or red card offences

The ref yesterday did the classic reffing when you are not fit enough. He only ever went about 5 yards either side of the half way line. Also, how can you forget your whistle & have to get one from the 4th official. Laughable

Because referees think when a team is losing it doesn’t matter or why should a team losing waste time! Teams play the same against us at 1 nil down as when they are 0-0 because it’s all about staying in the game and maybe get a point or nicking it..

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

We should just count as a crowd when the keeper gets the ball

Even better, let’s have a timer on the big screen, that will help turn the screw

 

[Bluemart]

Regarding Pope’s time wasting, did anyone else notice how far away his drinks bottle & towel were from his nets?

 

[foggy1974]

nothing would change because it would be the same idiots asking biased questions & ignoring the ones that go against the cartel.

Theres been about 50 examples since. One a few mins after that incident in the Brighton/Liverpool game. They have never even come close to doing anything similar!! Tells you all you need to know!!
