Referees/Officials

[BurnCK]

Imbecile !

Tell me the shocking decisions, please. Fernadinhos challenge warranted a red but because we didn't agree at the time we were bound to get on the refs back for every little thing and blow stuff out of proportion.

Was it a flawless refereeing performance? No. Have I seen many worse? Yes plenty.

The overreaction is just another symptom of the believe that everyone is out to get us, something I don't buy...

he got the red card right.

Other than that he yet again allowed a team to be far more physical towards us whilst blowing the whistle for virtually anything we did and brandishing cards like confetti.

he lost total control of the game, he knew it, we all knew it.

One Burnley defender alone cold have had 4 yellow cards and thus been sent off but oh no, apparently Silva just fell over with one of his challenges.

Fucking cheat end of.

That made me smile. So in 2012 we would have finished with 109 points.
A record of 36 wins 1draw 1 defeat. What a season that would have been!!

No, because those 20 points would be inclusive of United being lower by 10-15 points to begin with (the amount by which they benefited from "helpful" refereeing decisions that season)

I think people are not saying that officials are out to get us. But I would like to know why it is that some of the officials who turn up at the Etihad have rewritten the Laws of the Game especially, and the next gig they have they revert to the Laws of the Game as published on the FArce website, and also why is it that MANUre are constant recipients of referees' largesse, leniency and blind spot! They're not out to get us, but some of the performances I've witnessed this season alone would lead a lot of people to think that summat was up!

Agreed apart from the fact that it definitely wasn't a red. This is old analysis but some things never change:

"The red cards decisions are maybe what can be predicted by now: bad. Not one correct decision in the games we reviewed from him.*

He was fucking terrible from start to finish. Like Taylor he's from a family of rags, and whilst his claim to 'support' Bolton is more credible than Taylor's laughable alleged affinity to Altrincham, he's still a City hating bastard of the first order. Like Taylor, I don't think I've ever seen a City game when he gave a 50/50 call our way. I believe he was the subject of an official complaint from City a few years ago that led to him being withdrawn from our match at Wolves at the 11th hour, allegedly for personal reasons, only to rematerialise as 4th official at Spurs 24 hours later.
I lost count of the number of times Burnley went through our players full tilt - Sagna and De Bruyne twice each, and Silva once, were all studded across the shins and ankles, with only 2 yellows shown and one not even given as a free kick. He also dragged play back to give us a pointless free kick in the 1st half when we were steaming away down the right flank (and then didn't book the Burnley player concerned), and he was frantically checking his ear piece in the hope of disallowing our first goal. As per Taylor, it's an ongoing disgrace that he is allowed to referee either City or United

Couple of years ago and Lee Mason didn't consider this (21:09) to be a 2 footed challenge, I wonder why.....

Ha ha, says it all. I was angry today though with Fernandinho for giving that rag bastard the opportunity

 

[dannybcity]

Mason seemed keen on speeding up the game after we'd taken the lead, not so much at 0-0.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I'm certain that Mason booked the wrong one at one point in the second half. I'm pretty certain No23 made the foul but No5 got booked. No23 had already been booked?

I don't remember his number but the one with long hair .

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Mad isn't it that we have multiple cameras covering every game for English or foreign broadcast and it would literally take 15 seconds to see whether feghouli should have been sent off

It is mad, but it will never happen anyway, precisely because the FA and TV companies are quite happy with the status quo of the rags benefitting from frequent blind eyes and 'errors'

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I don't remember his number but the one with long hair .

He was number 13

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Football in this country is thoroughly corrupt. And as with corruption in every other part of life here, the media do all in their power to hide it/cover it over.

 

[blueinsa]

He had someone watching a tv today in the ground, in his ear, without a shadow of a doubt.

They might claim no video technology is being used but it is and his constant pauses before decisions and his hand on his ear proved it today for me.

 

[Chi-town blues]

He was number 13

Cheers.

He had his hand over his ear for an eternity after Clichy scored. Cnut was clearly hoping to rule it out

Noticed that immediately after Clichy scored he engaged in quite a long conversation on his mouthpiece to the extent I thought he might disallow it. To be honest we're usually not best placed to judge incidents from the stands so I'll reserve judgement until I've seen the replays. With regards to his allegiances football wise, to quote a friend of mine who did some business with him before he was a pro referee "well he was always a red when I knew him".

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Why can't Wikileaks and the like actually do something useful for once?

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

p.s. after we did what we did to Mason the last time he was "difficult" it's no surprise he was so fucking desperate today.

Yeah, found it very strange that Bravo didn't time waste at all but Phil Mitchell charged up to him in extra time telling him he is watching his watch. Bizarre behaviour from a bent twat.

Everyone banged on about Taylor being a Rag (and I know for a fact he genuinely isn't) but this Bolton ref, Mason, is supposed to be a Rag for sure despite saying he supports Bolton.
