Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

[Newquayblue]

And in fact City are penalised again as one of the games he'll miss is against the rags meaning Leicester will be weaker in a match against one of our rivals.

soooooo unfair.

still fucking annoyed today,blobby sure does have a prob with ky,we should protest him doing our games and show him why

Really hope we take time to formally complain - this has GOT to be made an issue!

I would have to re-watch the match to check the timings but I still think 8 minutes was excessive.

Another incident not seen by the Bald Blind Bastard was when one of their players grabbed the shirt/shorts of a city player in the first half when he was bursting through the middle towards their penalty area.

He sees what he wants to see and makes the rest up, as a Club we should do more to out these incompetent fools.

...Bald, Blind, B...an alliteration of the highest order, love it!

Genuine question, why can't referee's match reports be published say on the FA's website? If there's nothing to hide then why not? Plus I reckon seeing a referee's reasoning would help their cause.

Also, fines for officials, losing their match fees etc needs to come into it. All this talk of officials needing more respect is bollocks, they're wrapped in cotton wool.

This +1

Whilst I agree, this was a cup match, how do you compensate City if they had got knocked out ? missing two league games hardly makes up for a semi final.

As an aside, I don't mind the dive as much as the fact Madely was in a very good position to see the incident. We have mentioned the Walker foul (alleged dive) very few have mentioned when Jesus was fouled and the force took him into the goalkepper, clear penalty and yet they got the foul.

This thread is not helping me feel any better, what an absolute travesty!

It’s time to bring the game to the modern age by taking the clock out of the hands of the 4th official and referee and have a transparent system. And video to review penalty decisions which continue to be ludicrous events of just plain guessing by the referee in many instances. Sendings off for divings during the game after video review and I guarantee you would see a huge reduction in cheating overnight. The lack of progress by FIFA and various FAs worldwide on this critical issue is appalling.

Yet another poor performance from Bob Madley yet again. What has he got against us. If that was a penalty when Kyle tackled Gray, then when Ilkay got tackled that also should have been a pen. Both Ilkay and Gray had slight pushes yet one was and one wasn't.

 

[Fame Monster]

That’s what I initially thought, but I checked and we rang the changes after the Everton game and stopped playing three centre backs.

You're right that we didn't start with Kompany, Stones and Otamendi in those games but we definitely played in a 3-5-2 formation. Otamendi had a mare against Salah (even though he's been class apart from that) and I think that caused us to change more than anything, which was for the best because Sane is a much player in the 4/3/3 we play now.

 

[Chi-town blues]

No ban for Gary. Fucking joke

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Just seen the extended highlights and the 'foul' for the penalty looks even more ludicrous when yer see Tosin's header that went wide - he's nudged by a Leicester player with more force than took Grey down, and then Maguire's header to the back post - he swipes TWO City defenders out of the way with his arm. Just shows how much of a lottery decisions can be, and how fuckin' useless Madley continues to be!
