Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

I agree wholeheartedly, they are horrendous. But as yet we do not have any evidence of corruption. Maybe in the future it will be proven and I would never say there could never be corruption in football as it has happened in other countries I just think, at the minute, its a massive leap to say its a conspiracy against City

I don't know about corruption, but we definitely get officiated differently. So the leap is not that big.

We can argue long into the night about whether Refs/linesman are bent against City but here is a question for all those who say they are not bent just incompetent.

Please name a decision this season that went in Citys favour that was later proved to be wrong.

Arsenal at Home one of the biggest most important matches of the season.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Whether bent, biased or incompetent, I'm really fucked off about that shower of shite today.

A fantastic goal disallowed on flimsy evidence, a blatant, shocking challenge not punished properly.

It's ruined the fucking day for me, I'm just pissed off about the whole thing.

I agree - the foul on Sane was a red all day long. It’s got to be incompetence as anyone on the take would surly be unable to disallow a good goal and let off a leg breaker. If bent, you have to be subject?

There's fucking tons of it, and when it's presented you say it's not, you choose to ignore it, that's your right, but like the other troll stop telling others they're wrong for accepting it as it is.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Because being in an offside position is not reason to disallow a goal anymore if he's not interfering with play.

Lots and lots of goals are given with players stood yards offside.

Right.
And only Mason was able to see if Sané was interfering or not.
And he can only disallow the goal if he was absolutely sure about it, which he couldn't be at all.
That decision is absolutely ridiculous.
Absurd amounts of money in the league but no money for 1st class refs. Strange.

Off the top of my head, our third against Arsenal when Silva was offside?

If he’s directly in the line of sight, that is still classed as interfering with play though?

 

[The blue phantom]

But then people will give you the BBC as an example of how a cover up can occur and that was abour peaodophiles like Saville operating with abundance and in full knowledge of many for years and not a single thing was ever said or done of note to stop it.

The argument does not fall down at all.

Seriously though why hasn't this been front page news? This is the biggest/Richest sporting league in the world. It would make someone millions in a scoop. Yet nothing.

 

[blueinsa]

But because there is corruption in other walks of life does not mean there is one against City. Do you not think its a little unlikely City fans on Blue Moon know about this dossier but its never been reported elsewhere?

hang on Frank, it's you that claimed any corruption would be a feast for the journos and they would happily tell the world about it if it existed.

I've given you just one example of systematic cover up in a high profile organisation all about people with money and power and that's just one and if it can happen there it can happen in football as well.

I posted it to refute your argument that everything falls down because the media have not dragged it all out yet.

 

[franksinatra]

I don't know about corruption, but we definitely get officiated differently. So the leap is not that big.

Do you actually watch every other match to know this? I work with Bournemouth and West ham fans and they think the same. We see every decision through a city prism so naturally feel aggreived. A lot of neutrals think the likes of Sterling, Sane go down to easy and Otamendi exaggerates fouls. We see a push on Sterling and think its a pen.

Last year I thought we were very hard done by with decisions, unquestionably. Is that bad refs or corruption? I think the former.
