Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

[ChicagoBlue]

Nowt for that and a red v Everton this season....the price of wearing a City shirt.

That and a Premier League Winners medal! Yeah, baby!!!Even the bent refs couldn’t stop us, hard as they tried!

...but if we didn't lose that Anfield league game, who knows how the CL fixture would have panned out... Suppose it's not healthy to dwell on the ifs and buts.. but... ah never mind.

And imagine if we hadn’t lost at Anfield and the Rags had stopped us being inbeaaten in the league season.

Don't be silly.

The following day Howard Webb wrote that by not going down Raheem made the referee’s job difficult and that it would have been helpful if he had gone down.

And people wonder why players go down easily

I'm just waiting for Sir Anthony next Sunday.

Far from advocating violence but if he or the Maddley's of this world got the Soton gig a few choice words from an invader or two after the match may bring things to a head as the meeting with Old Mother Riley seems to have done fuck all.

I realise the media would go for our throat but it may shit up these cheats and make them think twice before stiffing us again & again.

 

[Mike N]

Good grief.

It was as much a foul as Sergio's in the cup final.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's one of those that could go either way. I think a few people on here at the time were saying that Stones should have been stronger.

Could go either way, but never our way! Same as Dean on Sunday!!

A push isn't a push no matter what yer eyes have seen unless the person 'pushed' goes down and chews a bit of grass. Salad has hallucinations t'other day when he 'saw' someone push him and then went down so that the ref would have no doubt he'd been fouled!

The way the game is governed is as bent as a nine euro note!

 

[SWP's back]

Whoever doesn’t think that’s a foul needs to get their eyes tested. From the angle firmino came, the only way he could get the ball was to barge stones in the back and thaya exactly what he did.

So it’s a fucking foul then.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

As far as I can see the pundit who is commentating on the game dictates whether it's a likely foul or not and whether the media pick up on it and more surprisingly whether even our own fans believe it was a foul.

It was the same with ederson being fouled by Arnautovic last week.. He barged Ederson off the ball, came on here and people were talking the same as the pundit, "should have been stronger"

Don't believe the pundits and commentators at all, we know they are bias, unfortunately they set the narrative

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Anyone know who has been appointed to send off a couple of City players next Sunday. Can't find a thing anywhere, or are PiGMOL waiting to see if Southampton need another point so they can give the gig to Taylor?
