Referees/Officials

[blue by birth]

Officials were very good today...no bad fouls or anything to get wound up about....makes a change that the officials arent in the limelight .

Seems a shame that it's got to the point where we have to make a specific thread to praise the officials for having a solid game. There was almost no big decisions to make. They did their job, as they should, and it's how it should be after each game, rather than an exception to the rule.

Hopefully technology can be brought in & football fans can start moving on from the ref's.

This was your first thought after the game ?

No, but it's a fair comment given the refereeing this season really.

It is fair,they had a good game

Thought Atkinson had a really good game
Yes I disagreed with a couple of fouls and I'd have probably issued a couple of yellows but overall I prefer that approach than the pandering (allegedly) to Far East betting syndicates we normally see

Some refs would have booked Sterling for kicking the ball away, but the offence is for delaying the restart and he actually smashed the ball against the post from where it rebounded to exactly where the free kick had to be taken from. Good decision!

how many City players would have stayed on the pitch if they'd committed the amount of fouls Larsson got away with? Thought he was bobbins on that, once again opposition player is allowed to leave one on our players with no repercussions, and I'd like to see his "tangle" with Aguero in the box off the ball again.
