Referees' Performances | 2025/26

Nunes shoulder charge, for which he was booked. Doku was then shoulder-charged and told to get up.
The difference was however Doku went clearly looking for it and went down very easily....

Id agree on he DCL one.....it was 50-50 for me and shouldnt have been a foul (neither were) but if that is all we are complaining about then i think people are clutching at some fucking huge straws
 
So pep was asked about Donno going down for a time out! Fuck me Arteta teams Been doing it for fucking years not once was he asked about Raya going down on the 20th minute and they done that for game after game!

The media the referees been doing all the can to be fucking scum for years! Am sick of it! Another manager would have blown his top after games! Pep restrain from really going for any of them aggressively like other certain managers did do is frankly unbelievable

Donnarumma being booked again. Gnonto kicking out and no card. Taking an age to try and rule out our goal, more VAR that one, but still.

He is getting booked for decent - its on him

The VAR took ridiculously long Id agree but most of them do...how long did it take to rule out the Scouse goal....anyone complaining about the time over that decision....id guess not.
 
even to talk about the refs is just burying heads in the sand to ignore the shit show that is our team
Our players have played for years with hundreds of officials. They know a wrong 'un when they see one, and it's the perfect recipe to get into players heads - no matter what happens yer not gonna get a fair crack. Must be mentally dispiriting, but we have the players who have the mental strength. But what happens? They get booked for calling a shit decision a shit decision. The number of teams who come to the Etihad just know that if they go down they are gonna get the kick, if it's shoulder to shoulder it's gonna be an away side free kick. And today he maintained the long-cherished PiGMOL approach to timewasting - ignoring it and doing fuck all about it. We must thank Phil for undoing all the timewasting by Leeds 'n blatant partiality from Bankes. Change the last letter of his name to an r and we have a perfect rhyme.

He was booked for time wasting, something that we seem to get punished for more than others. Eddie was the same.


Edit

I stand corrected on that one.

Mentally dispiriting.....come on...if thats an issue they need to man the fuck up!

The issue with complaining about refs is that right or wrong firstly we can do NOTHING about it...its completely out of our control as fans, for the players and club.....so we need to move past it and stop fucking crying about it...some people on here sound like that fat scouse Irish twat whinging on social media...pathetic

The refs whether they are making bad decisions or good ones (and we get them in our favour as well dont forget that) are not the issue with how we are playing and its just a way of ignoring the poor performances for some people.....its deflection at best to focus on this.

Its also hugely fucking subjective....EVERY fucking set of fans believe the refs are against them.....listen to the arsenal fans, rag fans, scousers etc etc.....again its fucking pathetic from grown men crying about it all the time......Im suprised some of these people are actually able to live in the real world day by day

Refs make mistakes - until the game is refd by robots that will always happen.

Also, yes there is and also has been corruption that has happened in the past (especially in other countries like South America and match fixing etc - there always will be when there is a lot of money involved whatever business you are looking at) BUT some of the comments on here week by week are pathetic....taking instructions from PIGMOL at half time ....FFS really - its actually laughable that people (grown fucking men) may actually believe this and its the way people sooth themselves that this is the case every week....

Thats not what it said on my stream....last game he also got booked for whinging at the ref too much...you may be right but he was screaming at the ref at the same time before he got booked about something.
 
Yeah maybe....

but the main point is people fucking whinging about the refs should be looking at the shit performances of our players....but maybe they cant as it shatters their little fucking worlds


I don't blame them for getting pissed off though. It isn't just the refs, but they don't help. We played like shit and still won, and yet people are still having a go at the ref. That should tell you something.
 
I didn't think the ref was too bad today.

It was a penalty for Leeds and it wasn't his fault that VAR dithered for so long for our 2nd goal.

The only thing I wasn't sure about was Donnarumma's Yellow Card as I don't think we were winning at the time so it couldn't have been for time wasting
Even after the 3rd goal he was in the ref's ear on the half way line
