Referees/Officials

The ref was rubbish - I wouldn't say fully biased though, having seen our 3rd goal

Your welcome.

Uh, for one, it's "you're" not "your."

For another... well, gee whiz... why root for City at all? Every ref is corrupt and against us.

+1

Exactly.

A really poor performance by the ref.

But to accuse the ref of bias/corruption - is tin hat stuff. Totally unwarranted on the sole evidence of this match.

But that sort of performance by a ref V Barca is common. I think UEFA, probably, encourage it as it is a benefit to their 'product'

Yup. UEFA proactively encourages all refs to favor Barca/Madrid or whomever else you think. Poor us.

We should probably just refuse to compete in the UCL as the refs will never allow an English side to win the competition.

Sterling dragged his leg across the defender looking for the foul.

IMO, though, it was still a foul.

At the very worst a non-call.

But I think that Sterling was looking for the call and his exaggeration, in this instance, didn't work to our favor.

It's favour not favor!! :)

Busquetts should have had at least 4 yellows.

Please don't.
