Referees/Officials

So he saw it but didn't at the very least book Costa?

Goes to show you can do whatever the fuck you like to us these days.

Just once I wish the club would come out and say something

What would be the point? We have no sympathisers in the media and as such we would be ridiculed, probably make the situation worse if anything.

How much worse could it get? We already get shafted in the media and by the referees.

Fair enough but how about you answer my question, what would be the point? Do you honestly think the situation would improve if we went public with our complaints?

The Premier League/FArce et al are just waiting for Pep to blow his nut over the blatantly corrupt officiating of our games. The moment he mutters a single word against one of the match officials they will slap him with a huge fine and 5 game touchline ban.

Possibly not, but if it puts the spotlight on the referees for a bit, we might have an equal playing field for once. Nothing is going to change by keeping our mouths shut, that's for sure.

You're probably right. It would take someone else to speak up.

When Pedro clattered Silva and the foul was given to Pedro, I'm sure I saw Silva laugh and say "I don't believe it!".
It's getting to be more and more blatant now, and I'm not surprised about ANY decision given against us or for the opposition. If even Phil Chuckle can see it, it must be bad.

I said something similar last night. The day Neville has sympathy for City, something has gone badly wrong.

I also thought the players were laughing at Dean's decisions, which can't be good, following so soon on the Monreal/Aguero aftermath. Guardiola shut down the topic in his interview, but I think there will be something irate going to Riley.

I'd love to see the club (with Guardiola nowhere in sight) hold an itemised press conference of incidents this season - not just City, but the top few teams, and try forcing the hand of Riley/Scudamore to openness.

I don't think it would put the spotlight on them mate, like I alluded to previously you need some sympathisers in the press for that to happen.

Also, for all we know the club is acting on it out of the public eye, hasn't Pep had a meeting or meetings with Riley to discuss it?

Never going to happen. Even if the whiff of corruption reaches nostril stinging levels, the PGMOL will just continue to hide behind their cloak of "nothing to see here", and Gill and his mates will carry on with their plan to see a new name on the PL trophy every 6 years.

It gets no better with Moss in charge for the Hull game ffs.

Mike Dean should be sacked for allowing that leg brake tackle by Costa, he didn't even speak to him guess he didn't see it, which seems too be the excuses every time they want to ban 1 of our players. It is time that it started to ban players from other clubs.
