Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

[meltonblue]

Any time I’ve read about match fixing and corrupt officiating, it has always been when referees have continuously given fifty fifty challenges a particular way, in order to influence the overall sway of the game.

It’s never on goal or red card decisions as that would be too obvious. I just saw rubbish refereeing today, that was it (to be honest, more rubbish from
the linesman, I do get how in real time, Mason might have missed the severity of the challenge on Sane).

He did and it can be demonstrated how favourable Clattenburg was to us in games whilst Thaksin was in charge and how it suddenly changed after he went.

Coincidence?

Its important to make it clear here as far as i'm concerned hat corruption is corruption and ive little doubt that in some games we will have benefitted from it and will do again in the future if that's what the money wants but right now we are getting continually shafted and us being 12 points clear is not a defence that it isnt happening, its too our credit just how good we are right now we can overcome the majority of it.

I choose not to believe that. Maybe I am being naive again.

If he dislikes us he is no longer impartial and he shouldn't be a ref.

Problem is that’s a subjective view which is very difficult to prove.

Exactly. And it should be so obvious to our top brass that we surely should make sure the cûnt doesn’t ref us?

1. Yes you are
2. No I'm not, I'm not picking up every other poster taking the piss out of their opinions, unlike you
3. I don't have to explain it, it's been done by several respected companies and journos, ignored by the authorities and the likes of you
4. If you can post where I have called you a bellend then you have the right to mention it, but as i haven't it's clearly yet another defelecting tactic by you whilst besmirching a poster pulling you up for you belligerent attitude towards City fans who comment on what they see backed up with what's in the ether.

WTF are you rambling on abt. The same poster who's never off this thread came on and stated anyone who doesn't believe our club is targeted/corruption is a bellend. i never mentioned it was you, you need to re read the post.

Im happy to sit here knowing we did prove it a few years back and it hurt the fuckers and put noses out of joint.

We are still reaping their response im afraid.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

It doesn't excuse a linesman and ref yards away from not seeing it though as its their job.

5 occasions this has happened recently where a clear red card offense has been missed by the referee or linesman against us.

You can say the officials missed it, and that could be true but 10 opportunities for the nearest officials to apply the correct sanction, and yet no time was this done.

You can only call it incompetence for so long before you have to call it what it actually is.

When/how did we prove it?!

 

[purplenose]

The press in this country are every bit as bad in their agenda against us, again driven very much by commercial interests as they target a certain readership and its numbers.

Agreed but as we see on a daily basis where the media have no problem with outing all manner of wrongdoing in the very highest places that could potentially bite them later, I doubt were it to be provable that the rags have indeed been collecting trophies by foul means rather than fair for a couple of decades then I have no doubt that there would be plenty happy to expose it to all.

I have no doubts about the fact that it goes on, but getting proof I suspect would not be easy.

Or even have them looked at retrospectively after the game so that justice is done?

I suppose that only happens to our players though and it needs the usual media witch hunt.
