Referees/Officials

[come-on-barney]

Mason was pulled very suspiciously from two of our games at the end of the 11/12 season, now we understand exactly why.

Didn't we complain about one referee not sure who it was.

Hope West Ham react to this as coming on the back of Pep's reaction today it's going to get interesting.

Doubt it. Saw Bilic cosying up to the **** one.

Bac hitting back at the ref. Players and staff clearly annoyed at the officiating this season / previous.

The lack of even-handed officials stumping up at the Etihad is now becoming more and more blatant. Backing into defenders only happens at one end of the pitch, blatant trips are only given to the opposition, and the number of times teams are 'rewarded' with dubious free kicks within a yard or two of our penalty area. And did anyone notice the two tuppenny ha'penny free kicks in our pen area we got at the end for effectively fuck all, just to make it look as though the Bolton RagShithouse was fair and impartial. I've had my suspicions about Mason's competence for a long time, now I think the incompetence has developed into blatant cheating.

Every single side is afforded a level of physicality we could only dream of and a player is given carte blanche to foul the fuck out of every blue shirt he an get near for 90 mins.

Utterly disgraceful officiating today, red card aside which he got right.

It's a joke what they actually get away with.

It's developing into at least an offside goal per game, and it seems their players are immune from any kind of sanction for which the ref rips off his pocket to get out the card for other teams.

Can anyone honestly see a Rag getting a red at The Swamp for the Ferny or Wissssst Hiiiiiim player tackles!

Mason, Walton and one other I believe but can't remember who.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Well is it time for a TV pundit to grow some balls and bring this up on a TV show?????

Calling @Prestwich_Blue.

He should just post it again and pin it. It always gets requested.

Quite possibly but why is it that it's only teams like City or Wiiiiiiist Hiiiiiim who pick up these reds? Allowances are made for some players and clubs, and it seems an 'historical' thing to me! I call it cheating when a ref calls foul on one ground and ignores it on another. And that is what is happening in the PL these days.

Pep also now seeing the agenda against us by the shocking blatant cheating by referees and the one sided reporting by the media. I've seen post match and press conference and he is positively bubbling. He is highlighting the refereeing by refusing to answer. On the other hand look at Mike Deans New Years gifts to Utd, let's see if the media report the shocking sending off or offside goal from Ibrahimhovic, I think not. Agenda..... absolutely.
