Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

I wished City players would celebrate under the nose of those ref teams post match in the mid circle
and politely shake hands to the refs for their beautiful performances.
 
I agree completely that the goal should have stood, that’s clear. I’m just laying the blame for that one with the linesman rather than Mason.

Regardless, I’m less arsed about that. It’s frustrating that such a good goal was wrongly ruled out, but the dangerous challenges that are consistently not being punished properly are the bigger concern for me. Something needs to be done about this as a matter of priority. It’s laughable that players can retrospectively be punished for diving, but not endangering an opponent’s safety (if they were booked at the time). The whole system is completely flawed.
I posted this in the post match but it’s relevant here. The fa changed the retrospective rule and it actually says: “the FA will reserve the right to take retrospective action when match officials are not in a position to fully assess a 'coming together' of players”. That is almost exactly the right law. The obvious flaw is that it requires Mason to say he wasn’t in a position to fully assess it. If he says that, it goes to the panel to be adjudicated on and he can get a three match ban. Problem is, he probably won’t say anything!
 
Sorry, I meant gave the offside, rather than didn't give the goal.

i just see it as a very bad decision rather than anything more untoward, it's just too obvious for referees to do that intentionally.

Which having watched it again would only prove his integrity is not what it should be.
 
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.

The same poster who is “never off this thread” is offering to bet you £10 (money goes to charity) that they have posted less times than yourself in this thread.
 
The whole refereeing system is flawed for me, and it needs changing quickly.

I didn't know until tonight that none of ours are at the World Cup, it doesn't surprise me though, not from what I witness week in week out, as I said at best its incompetent, and at worst something else.
Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Serbia, Russia, Turkey, Poland and Slovenia. European referees on the provisional list for the World Cup. The England team cop for a load of flack but at least they get there. Riley should be resigning if not one of his referees is deemed fit for even the initial list....
 
The disallowed goal is the worst decision I’ve ever seen in football.

I have neutral mates who never text me when City are playing texting and saying it was the worst half of refereeing they’d ever seen too.

Even my Rag mates were laughing at how poor Mason was.

It makes no bearing on us going through but I’m still livid about that goal... and it will have a bearing on us going forward so I’m fucking fuming over the Sane tackle still.

I Fucking hate Warnock with a burning passion
