They will not go away. But it does seem in other sports that the existence of video refs improves the quality of refereeing/umpiring in the sense that they stop making the same types of mistakes.

If we are beaten fair and square no problem. But when its like all-in wrestling with Sergio being thrown to the ground and Raz taken out and nothing given; WELL that's not football or if it is I don't want to see it anymore! I don't normally drink at games, leave my seat when the game is on; but yesterday! I went for a pint after about 40 minutes. It is almost like watching a stage manager direct kids to achieve the story he wants; with this act being one of many played throughout the season.
The PLOT IS NOW CLEARING for this season
1 Chelski
2 Spurs
3 City
4 Candle lighters
5 Rags who win the europa league or what ever its called.
so five in Chumps league next season and the Arse to have a good season under new manager without the pressure of Chumps league.
Do I spend money seeing City play this out or not? The answer is yes I am a long time City fan and will continue, but when all this comes out City will be tarred with the same brush as part of the Premier league.

I'm not big on the Agenda stuff and will normally say it evens itself out but this year has been a Joke
Luiz, Walker and Milner yesterday were red cards in huge games we will win if the ref does his job and the league looks a whole lot different
It's also that it snowballs onto everything else, club getting criticised for not doing well enough, Pep failing etc...add to this the red and penalty v Monaco in first leg with foul on Aguero ( that HE got booked for ) and we could still be in CL
I know we missing chances and giving sloppy goals away as well but you expect to get your fair share

That is my point exactly.We need people within making noise and sensationalizing it so that it becomes forced into the consciousness of the media and consequently the officials. Who remembers the Walker push? no one. This game and the incidents will be forgotten in no time.
You're absolutely right. Look at Mourinho, he goes on about decisions not going his way and all of a sudden they have at least six blatant sending off offences not punished or given a yellow. It's so clear, we need to get smarter.
I don't think it's an agenda. What I do think it is is subconscious influence. If you look at the constant rake of shite articles (e.g. The Mirror today) the referees must read these and are being subconsciously influenced to dislike City.
Another example of this affect is the rest of the country booing sterling.. For what? Because of the media retoric against him.
Until our media department come down hard and start banning twats for writing bull then it will continue. I'm not saying people shouldn't write negatives about us, we have plenty. Just not out and out bias or lies.

Howie Redshirt was shite on the pitch and he's shiter in the shed!
Hacket in the DT this morning is suggesting that Oliver was tired. Mentally fatigued after doing three or four matches in the last week. I have to disagree - he was shit in the first of the batch and was his usually bottling abysmal self again last night. I have looked at some turds in my time and trodden in some in my time, but I've never followed up with "Do you know, I think that turd lying on the pavement looks terrible fatigued. It needs a good lie down and a massage!" Where are the Nevilles when yer need one!
The level of refereeing as we have witnessed it at The Etihad this season has been nowhere near a standard that fans have a right to expect - Taylor, Mason, Marriner, Oliver. Everyone making up the script as they go along.

These 'decisions' will be a complete culture shock to Guardiola - there is no way Bayern and Barcelona would have has these sort of decisions go against them on a regular basis
Leaving aside the more obvious controversial decisions for a moment it should not be ignored that we out fouled them 14-7 on our own patch with 60% possession. I noted that with around 15 minutes to go they had only fouled us 4 times, yes that's FOUR, absolutely ridiculous.
