The ancient Marriner should be made to walk the f****** plank.

Mistake 1
Claims to have missed Aguero's elbow on Reid at home against West Ham.
Action
3 match ban for our key player using FA post match video evidence. City punished.

Mistake 2
Seemingly the only person to miss Walker's push on Sterling. Red card and penalty would have been given with video evidence.
Action
FA go "tee-hee" we've done City again. Marriner walks away punishment free.

Sod the plank just throw Marriner overboard.

INJUSTICE

11 against 13 .... counting linesman who didn't flag Kane offside.

Surely there is enough 'coincidences' and issues with individuals for an indie production company (not funded by our Shiek ;-) obviously) to produce a string of YouTube 'documentaries' exposing this corruption?

Episode 6 Governance
Episode 7 betting and sponsorship - conflict of interest
Episode 8 - drugs and outrageous title wins.

Not sure if this is relevant, and just playing devil's advocate really, but were City leading at Burnley so Aguero's booking was for time wasting? Spurs were losing yesterday when Son did it, so couldn't be accused of trying to gain an advantage. Or is the booking issued for dissent rather than time-wasting?

My recollection of Aguero's booking was that it was for dissent rather than time wasting. But i dont have a perfect memory.
 
Has anybody mentioned the lack of advantage played by Mariner after a foul on one of ours? The moment we looked dangerous and were about to break away, Mariner blew to produce a yellow for a Tottenham player: he waited and then purposefully cut short the advantage for us the very moment we were on the attack. Let that sink in. Bent as fuck.
 
I'm not sure about corruption within the 90 mins but I do think the fact that blatantly bad refereeing is not dealt with by the authorities and that there isn't a meaningful effort to improve the refereeing over time imply that there is a likely corruption at the very top. Like an old boys club who care more about the actual referees than their function.

But then again it's hard to think of anything that isn't as rotten as that outside your own circle of family, friends, neighborhood/parish. Only kids football is genuinely concerned with fairness.
 
Not read through the whole thread but one thing Mariner did yesterday which probably went unnoticed by most was when Aguero was caught offside from a goal kick, the ref then let Spurs take the free kick inside our half .
Now that is blatant cheating or he's is genuinely incompetent.
We have been well and truly shafted this season of that there is no doubt and there is something rotten going on, you expect to be on the end of some poor decisions over a season but this is happening every week and it's clear cut no debate decisions we are on the end of .
The club need to be in the face of Mike Riley now and put pressure on him and band of absolute idiots that they call refs and assistants as they are all in this together.
I've been going to City for the best part of 50 years and I'm genuinely questioning why I bother, what's the point when you know we are not playing on a level playing field.

Episode 1 should be The Media as they are at the root of us getting the shit end of the stick.

That was again terrible refereeing. And booking Otamendi for being pushed over.

It wasn't terrible; it was bent. He waited until the very moment we were advancing with intent and then blew. That's worse than not giving the penalty in that he purposefully and intentionally manipulated the play to our detriment. Not giving a penalty is a passive act, whereas stopping the game when we have an advantage - the very thing the rule was brought in to stop - is an assertive act.

Most of the east stand saw the Spurs free kick incident. Absolutely befuddling.

However, despite the poor refereeing, we should have been out of sight by half time. That's down to us not clicking in the attacking department. We are SOOO close to gelling, it can only be a matter of time before we start hammering teams and no referee will be able to stop us.

Bear with it for a bit, good times are approaching.

That sort of thing is a nailed-on sign that a game is subject to a fix of some sort. Clattenburg in the FA Cup final anyone?

Rule change on offside at the start of this season, to the fee kick is taken where the offside player gets the ball, not where he was offside, it was one of his few right decisions, none of the bt commentators seemed to know the rule either. For me his worst was the booking of Otamendi fo being pushed, apart from the penaly obviously.

We should be informed why yellow cards are issued, half an hour after a game. It'll also stop cheating shitehawks from changing their mind when they are leant on by the FArce.

I couldn't believe that Marriner was not gonna book the Haringey Hotspur for kicking the ball into the net. I wonder what other footballers think who have received a yellow card for playing on! Classic cases of one law for some times and a completely different and more favourable law for others. The issue is black and fucking white, there's not variables involved!

We have asked before and then as soon as the report has gone in, the version of events has been changed.

Fancy that?
 
The worrying thing is I'm not even surprised anymore, I sat next to a bloke that had come over from Hamburg proper football fan, he'd been to watch the dippers then got a train to ours, he just kept shacking his head at some of the decisions

thats a new directive with the offside rule, totally correct decision, he didnt get many right, but that was one.

The assistant referee should have called it, he was right n line - but he was on another level of cheating, best was when he leaned onto the pitch to intercept a city pass and then gave a spuds throw
Click to expand...

Yes, it was the linesman's call. The ref was blocked by the look - the long ball through left him behind, and it's odds on that he couldn't see himself. Marriner didn't get it wrong - he didn't see it.
 
Bad and/or bent... get some of the Sheikhs pocket change to investigate them to out them either way.
