Referees/Officials

[Scaring Europe to Death]

City benefited from a similar goalline mistake against Everton in the LC Semi Final last season, so on this occasion, we have to take it on the chin, until technology is introduced.
Far more worrying, (especially with the derby on the horizon) is the regular practice of City receiving more yellow/red cards despite the opposition committing more fouls.

In fact who was the last Premier League opponent to be red carded against City?

He's reffed us once this season in the league, the 1-0 loss away at Liverpool.
He is the blind ref that missed the Rojo two footer and spotted a non two footer for the Sunderland player and sent him off

i actually meant overall not just this season, not sure of the stats though.

Me neither mate, just looked at this season. He's supposed to be a up and coming star, far from it for me

Yaya Touré: "But what can we do? If (we) talk about the referee the FA is going to come in for the punishment if we think like that."

Have they announced the ref for Thursday yet? Not that it matters the result is already a foregone conclusion .

I wonder if Anthony Taylor is free?
He will be at the etihad thursday night,in some capacity or other,as will his brothers.

Well I said it yesterday in the post match thread I think,if the players can see what's happening then it is also surely gonna affect their game,after all they are only human,decisions racking up just wear you down eventually..

Yes.im confusing the two - knee assault on Silva (no attempt to get the ball - Dangerous play) and treading on the back of Aguero's heel - which subdued him for a long period till he luckily ran it off
- Not sure either will be fit for Thursday.

The second match in succesion someone has trod on the back of sergios heel.its disgraceful dangerous pre planned thuggery.
Sick to death of it.

And that's the issue. Referees have declared open season on City players.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I think this is the case.

It's not anti-City as much as it's pro- the others.

The PL stopped being a fair fight when the money went through the roof.
