Yep that's the one criticism I have of the ref in an otherwise good game, how often do you see 2 fouls like that waved on, away from home, in that area of the pitch, near the end of a game, when the team being waved on were losing by a one goal margin?At end of the game VVD barges Aguero over and ball arrives with Salah who cuts in and Ederson makes a good save to put it round the post. This was a Very obvious error by linesman and ref.
If you interested watch on City extended highlights. One of first things I looked for as incensed City fans in that block
He stopped play for a possible head injury so he has to give a drop ball. The advantage had stopped.Ok another one from last night, there were two fouls on city players, one after the other but Taylor waved play on as we still had possession. Then inexplicably he stopped play as one of theirs was down for a so called head injury, done whilst committing one of the fouls. Alty Taylor starts the game with a drop ball which they punt back into our half !!
Why not just award us the free kick and allow treatment. He is a Rag Bastard and if he had awarded us three non penalties last night I would still call him that.
Could he not bring it back for the earlier foul though regardless of possible head injury ?He stopped play for a possible head injury so he has to give a drop ball. The advantage had stopped.
He could have, if we'd lost the ball or been forced backwards and advantage was still on. Pretty sure we were still on the attack and advantage was long gone when he got a shout that Robertson was down with a 'head injury'. It's actually one scenario where the ref doesn't have many options.Could he not bring it back for the earlier foul though regardless of possible head injury ?

There was nothing to it, but from Taylor's actions (didn't look like his call) I'd guess he managed to con the linesman by staying down and holding the back of his head.I just watched it again and Robertson got a hand in the face. Nothing to it but for some reason the ref decided it was a head injury.
