Thought Tierney was ok last night

He was apart from the post above yours.

Apart from the timewasting where it's been covered on here that we need a visable clock that stops when play is dead there were 2 blatent kicking the ball away incidents, 1 around 102 and one right in front of the SS.

A pound to a penny we'd have 2 cards.
 
Getting this off my chest before I forget, but what was that free-kick against Danilo late in the game? That was exactly like Dean waving play on against Huddersfield in the dying moments when Bernardo was bowled over. Marriner was intent on giving Southampton a chance to get the ball into the box and win it.

Another stinking season from the officials, from the start to the finish, and I simply cannot wait for VAR.
 
Usual performance or should i say non performance.

Managed to see a foul anytime Austin went down or any other Saints player it seemed and all credit to him and his x-ray eyes to see through 2 players to spot an apparent handball from sane lol.

Also got the required late free kick in for them in a dangerous position in an attempt to get them the goal.

Never mind Andre......
 
Mike Dean topped off his disastrous season last night.How he failed to send off the Villa keeper for his handball denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity last night was beyond belief.
More importantly means Villa have their No.1 keeper available for the play off final
 
Refs/ref squads really sucked this year in the P/L - way too many bad decisions.

I'm really surprised that video review wasn't approved; this suggests that the majority of teams feel that refs screw up in their favor. Which is really surprising.

Conventional wisdom is that the league is better off if the top 6 teams win consistently - so there's a bias, likely unconscious - for refs to rule in favor of top 6 sides.

Moreover, top 6 side stadiums are likely to be very noisy - again creating bias towards these sides.

Anyhow, I'm disappointed that video review isn't part of the EPL referring system. And I'm not happy with the performance of our referees this season regardless.

Not necessarily the case, some of the older grounds are very close to pitch, acoustics are also much better. Some of the most raucous atmospheres are in the older stadiums.

Agreed.

Would be interesting to see missed calls in favor of the home side versus decibel noise on pitch.

Anyhow, I still think this year's officiating by-in-large was below par.

Unless, of course, you play your home matches in Manchester and wear sky blue shirts, when it becomes quite common for officials to have seletive blindness when fouls are ommited against that team.

How ref s can give fouls if there aren't any, I don't know. I think you must be having problems with your keyboard razyg ;-)

Definitely.
Of the missed challenges involving City, I have the impression most were away form home (Cardiff, WBA, Newcastle, Palace). The Young/Aguero assault was obviously at home but were many others?

Away, the Kompany early foul vs Leicester went in our favour, and we didn't get one from Ake at Bournemouth.

No but he reffed the match excellently.

Other than rewarding some of the worst dives ive ever seen by Young, ignoring some which should have meant a booking and refusing along with VAR to give a penalty for his handball he did well i agree frank.
