The Sunday Mirror are reporting that Guardiola wants a meeting with Mike Riley to "understand" English refs:

He's aggrieved that we're bottom of the Fair Play league despite dominating possession in most games, and having committed fewer fouls than most.
Can see where he's coming from, as we often seem to pick up yellows for offences that rivals get away with. Not sure we can have too many gripes about the reds we've picked up though?

we can when across the road and Chelsea don't get red cards for the same or worse.

Riley is a soft arse though and easily swayed pressure that k.unt and it could bare fruit.

Two wrongs don't make a right, and all that. The inconsistencies are infuriating, but it doesn't really excuse any of our red cards. They've all been deserved.

Agree but is it right other clubs gets a yellow instead of red?! Its like a get out of jail card for em.

Like I said, the inconsistency is infuriating. We're not blameless here though. Fernandinho, Aguero and Nolito have done daft things to earn red cards. A lot of it is self-inflicted and avoidable.

Well I don't think it's unfair to say either everyone gets punished, or we should get the same rub of the green and get away with it too. Pep's right to be pissed off particularly when many of our cards are in frustration to the fact that the players know we're being completely screwed over in most games. I'm working through referee performances this year and looking at the stats to try and pick out strange deviations from the norm, or peculiar anomalies, and when I've flagged up 15 games from just 3 referees that have strange components to them, or fit trends that referee is developing for certain teams (and that's not looking at financial data or communications) then there's something up.Two wrongs don't make a right, and all that.

You want inconsistency? Chelsea gave away 9 fouls at our place. They gave away 8 in the first hour, then once Costa equalised on the hour mark, they gave away just one single foul. In the last 15 minutes after Willian scores, no fouls. We gave away 7 in that period. Chelsea score, and after Taylor had already failed to send off Luiz and give us 2 penalties, he then throws a 7-1 foul count to City in the final half hour.
That's just 1 ref, in 1 game.
