Absolutely gob smacked with the non penalty decision for sterling, even aguero was being wrestled to the ground, so to miss two clear fouls is beyond a joke. I honestly dont think there's an agenda against city when it comes to the refereeing performances but there comes a point when you have to question why we're being denied clear, match defining decisions?

Yes more to do more to do with the first part of your post and that is the only way to get some balance back. Us can't supporters can't do much on this issue as it would mean turning our backs on the game and that will hurt the club more than it would give the establishment another kick up the backside. We are complaining but that is falling on deaf ears with people in charge.
We have to keep on keeping on..if that makes sense. Challenge the system and hold the officials accountable in a public manner and constantly raise awareness of the issue. No need to turn our backs on anything.
The standard of refereeing in the PL is actually disgraceful. Contrary to what many believe I don't think they're bent or biased. Just plain shite. Our game is awash with cash we should cast our net far and wide, pay them multiple times what they now earn, give ex players etc a reason to want the job.
Refereeing standard in CL/EL makes ours look embarrassing.

Did Silva get booked for moaning about their pen? It didn't strike me at the time but they both got booked on 50mins.

It does makes sense but there are times when you think is it worth it and has the game gone past a certain point where the game in this country can't or won't change. Of course it would take one big scandal for that to happen but, the FA are adept at sweeping things under a carpet.

OFCOURSE it is worth it. The roles of referees are evidently important and their decisions can decide games and how the season pans out.

I am not willing to give up the fight just yet but it is finding that breakthrough.

its a lovely thought but sadly way off the mark.
a lot of refereeing go's on behind closed doors, we don't see the half of it.
I doubt there is a team in Europe that is getting regularly screwed by referees both at home and in Europe as us. It's just a norm in our games. Whatever is not clear million percent is going against us.
I think one of the reasons Pep is so pumped up and is hinting that he wants to stay here longer than initially thought is because he is fed up with injustice he is seeing and want to stick it to them once we become too good for refs to stop us.
