absolute fucking scumbag, but at the same time thank you, because your bollocks "I'll chat to my mates for a minute to taunt you before giving Monaco the penalty after taking LITERALLY milliseconds to decide to book Aguero for being fouled even more clearly" led to Willy saving a penalty, getting everyone's back up and behind the team and inspired to click back into gear and obliterate them by the end.

Actually just wanted to de-bone him, absolute scum.

The two fouls on Aguero and Sterling inside the Monaco penalty area would have been nailed on for the Rags with both defenders seeing a red card. Nobody would convince me otherwise.
 
Strange that for such a flowing game with no real dirty play from either side, that the ref handed out ten yellow cards,wonder if the betting companies will be looking into this,for unusual betting patterns.....edit talking about refs,just compare him with the ref last week in the rags game against st etienne and it tells you all you need to know..

As much as I thought he was shite. All the bookings were fair. The pace the game was played at was always going to mean it was a booking fest.
The amount of pull backs and cynical tugs was unreal.

It's going to be discussed at UEFA HQ this week. The heads of the referees committee (Mr Gill), the standards committee (D. Gill) and the disciplinary committee (David Gill) will meet and decide what to do.

I almost believed that until you suggested they have standards.

I think the keeper is keeping his legs low to the ground to avoid contact, and Sergio tries to catch his leg as an invitation.
In every other match that's a penalty as the forward wants it and gets it.
The call is difficult but okay, but the standard is completely different!
I wouldn't call the ref bent.
 
I'm almost certain I saw this imbecile ref a match maybe 5 years ago and thought "this is the most bent and/or incompetent official I've ever seen."

Wasn't one of our matches. Almost certain it was a CL/Europa league match. I do remember it being a Spanish referee. Had to be this same utter scumbag.

Whether or not it was, fuck him!
 
I've watched it about 10 times, it's absolutely, 100% a stonewall penalty, from any angle.
The American commentator I was listening to just said "penalty" as soon as it happened. No ifs or buts, no waiting for the ref, just "penalty".
If you watch Pep, he knows it's a pen, he's waving his imaginary red to see if the ref has the balls to send him off.
There is no way the ref could have thought it was a dive; it's cheating, pure and simple.
 
Against the grain but I thought Sergio was on his way down before he got to the keeper and then trailed his leg to force the contact
 
Is anyone keeping track of each of these? I swear we must have had at least 15 clear penalties denied us this season in all competitions. After the opening few matches when it became clear that under normal rules we'd get at least one a match due to our wingers' pace and ball control, it's like it was fucking decided that we should only have a few more for the rest of the season. This season is by far the most corrupt I have ever seen it, even worse than what we saw with United's last title (they had the most pens, only one red card after they had already won the title, each of their matches against the top 4 ended with 11v10 or 11v9, and got away with so many blatant penalties... meanwhile Fellaini could block the ball with his hand over his head 3 yards inside the box and the ref was the only fucker to miss it when we were fighting to stay in reach of United).

It's a pen all day. All night and all week.

Not seen one pundit on two channels and a podcast plus write ups in the papers say different.

Odd some City fans don't agree but there you go.

Had any other player done the same those trying to claim it wasn't a pen would be saying it was great gamesmanship or cleverly done.
Ibrahimovic was getting praised for something 10 times worse than Sergio last week to win those ****s a pen.
No other team gets that given as a dive, not one.

In a La Liga game last year he was so bad the fake ronaldo was caught on camera telling him to fuck off

I agree, Sergio was already on his way down as he tries to initiate contact with the keeper. Could have easily been given though, and that seems like where we're at with refs this season. Every dubious decision goes against us whether we're the ones giving or receiving fouls/red cards/penalties/retrospective action.

You are 100% correct he was, however that was only obvious when watching the slow motion replay.

The referee would only see it at normal speed, so I reckon he was shit scared to award the penalty and possible red card for the keeper and took the easy option.

Frankly most of the officials have not kept pace with the modern game and are "not fit for purpose".
