I can write Thurdsday's for him now to save him the bother. I didn't go today, and I've not missed a Wembley trip since 1981, because I knew what was going to unfold. We will get shafted on Thursday too, of that I have no doubt. After the Chelsea game, where a known United fan is allowed to officiate, I said that was it for me. Having had a season ticket since 1975 I'm giving up. It's bent. I have no doubt.
 
That's me done with the game today. Seen enough. Saw my first game Live with David pleat running across Maine road, and thought that was bad. Which it was, but at least it was honest. 41 now and I'm done.

I'll always be a blue but never giving my money to something so corrupt ever again..... I'd be complicit otherwise....

Good luck to those who continue to fight on......

Off the top of my head the decisions via VAR that will still remain 'iffy' would be, say, 10% of the ones they bugger up currently. We might cop for all of them, still, but if the VAR is gonna adopt a rugby style scrutiny, viewed from different angles, and the refs know it will be scrutinised by their 'peers' it will be a situation that can only improve. The offside decisions with clear daylight that aren't given, are eliminated at a stroke. No VAR can ignore the black and white of a player being a yard offside. And the decision yesterday for the pen would be a yellow card if the laws were applied as they were written. VAR will not solve everything but it will produce a result that matches more correctly what has gone on during the game.
 
I almost wish the club would make a compilation video with all the decisions that went against us and showed it to the FA.

We did take our chance, it was disallowed for fuck all!

This is the point that a lot of disillusioned City fans would make. We do the right thing on the pitch, we might miss a hatful, but if we are suggesting that we have to create more chances than the norm in order to overcome those legitimate goals that get chalked off, then I can see why fans have had enough, and why players heads go down. Shafted, either by incompetence, or plain cheating.
 
Craig Pawson and the other officials just delivered a master class in how to fix a football match.
Just how the feck did they only end up with two bookings and we got six!
 
There's far too much polite sensitivity, too much 'we're in it for the long game' and ultimately 'our good works and excellent players will win'. Pellegrini got away with being charmingly polite in his first season, but then the other teams were considerably weaker. Mancini was savvy enough to know that he was facing decades of bias and prejudice, and he was regularly in the faces of the referees, letting them know his feelings, and rocking the boat. Having Platt chirp away 'to the English press didn't do him any harm either.

I really don't want to hear any more 'referees need to talk' and 'it's very difficult' comments next year; we need a far more prickly and assertive approach.
