Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

I question Mason`s integrity. We don`t like him, and he clearly doesn`t like us. We have outed him, he holds a grudge, and this is his way of getting his own back.
Either that or his just shit. But if that was the case he`d be shit for both teams in the City games he officiates.

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.

Bit of a strawman that tbf mate.

 

[blueinsa]

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

He wasn't.

Replay shows he was onside and the keeper had a direct line of sight to Bernado and the shot.

Again, the fact he goes to speak to the lino is the tell here as normally its a free kick and get on with it.

It stinks im afraid.

In fairness to the ref the linesman told him he was offside , he can only take his word for it

 

[blueinsa]

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.

It would make plenty of enemies as well.

 

[Mancityus]

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?

Bent or inept or little of both whatever excuses their actions are classified under it is clear they do not deserve to be on the field officiating - open the league to get the best ref's from around the world just like the players.

Sane didn't score so how was he offside?

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

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.

Don't start that crap. I watch every football match that i can. ie If City aren't playing or games on at the same time.

 

[franksinatra]

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.

I would never say it could not happen in football as it has previously but I very much doubt the media if they knew about it would cover it up which has been suggested.

Ok chat over.
