Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

I don't do X,what was PGMOLs explanation for the non award of a penalty?

It shouldn’t have been a yellow card or a foul against Lewis but it wasn’t a penalty either. I’d be absolutely livid if that was given against us as a penalty, it’s just a coming together and should have been play on.

Keep an eye on the next two matches. It'll turn up in one of 'em.

I can be a little more precise with your prediction. The game after Juventus.

Yes i know it probably wasnt even a foul, but it was still very naive to dive in as he did

The more naive thing was the stupid first booking, over something that was nothing to do with him.

According to the Mail, Coote has been sacked.

At least he’ll never have to ref us again.

Out of all the elation of trophy wins in recent years, one stands out to me because it was the only one where at the final whistle I was more pissed off and annoyed than celebratory - the FA Cup Final v United in the treble season. Never in my 40 years, and 35 years as a City fan, has a referee performance had me quite so angry. Good riddance.

Rob Jones manipulated that result. But we're not Liverpool so don't expect an apology from PiGMOL

Erling scores the pen. We win.

Poor refereeing, especially in the second half. It was hard to see the sending off live, but replays show that it was clearly wrong. Lewis made no contact and the defender actually stood on Rico. It was more, by far, a penalty to City than a foul by Rico and this from a referee in an ideal position to see! I might also add that VAR might not be able to intervene over a yellow card, but it could over a potential penalty. Hopefully the red will be overturned. But again we've seen a player sent off for dissent followed by a wrong decision while players are not sanctioned at all for violent "tackles".

Wasn't Declan Rice sending off a 2nd yellow red card given by VAR

No, it was shown on ‘Mic’d Up’. The referee’s only conversation before the red card was with his linesman. The VAR only got involved to clear the Brighton player of a potential straight red for kicking Rice.

Go on I'll bite, which penalty should Jones have given ?

The only penalty that could have been given would have to have been given by VAR, from Jones position you could see why he thought it was a foul by Rico at full speed, only from slow motion can you see otherwise, he didn't get that chance.

He's a shit referee, and he was shit on Saturday, but he doesn't "manipulate the result", that's just conspiracy shit for me. I thought he was poor for both teams.
