Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

[Gordyola]

Not a problem as long as he is consistently inconsistent.

Well it is a problem when he books a player for one team but not the other team for the same offence

What annoys me with the mandate to all premier referees is let everything go first half then second half change to give free kicks for next to nought and book players..

thought the referee was shit yesterday. Obvious fouls missed and non fouls given. Inconsistent with his card as well.

 

[Gazza]

On Boxing Day there must have been almost five minutes from the referee awarding the penalty to Haaland eventually missing it. Pickford was literally using every time wasting trick in the book and it worked.

Three days later Ortega gets a yellow card. It was deserved but Christ it smacks of inconsistency.
Either that or City need to study at shithousery college because we're hopeless at time wasting

If the referee decides that there has been sufficient mind games to put the penalty taker off then it should be treated as encroachment and the penalty retaken if missed.

Thought the linesman that saw Savinho`s cross, go out for a goal kick, from the other side of the pitch was brilliant, the goal posts getting out of the way for him was great as well. pity he did not let VAR decide, like he should have. We kept up the 1 booking every 4 fouls, not sure of the opposition 1 booking for 13 fouls, even though that type of foul on the goalkeeper, is an automatic card.

I noticed something very weird at the game yesterday.

At one point West Ham had a throw in and player tried to steal 5 yards. Referee immediately gestured to player he had to throw it backwards. Hadn’t seen that before.

I think he was telling him to go back and take the throw from the right place but then let him get away with it regardless.

That’s what I initially thought but he just stuck his hand out to point right and then allowed it so it looked like a direction.

The thing that got me when Coleman was into Haalands ear was that none of our players went to confront Coleman whilst he was doing it. I cant imagine any top sides players allowing that to go on for so long, with a player that has previous for this type of mouthing off, without getting involved. Instead our players left Haaland on his own.

That’s been a City trait for too long..thank fuck for the brief period Andy Morrison turned it around.
