Thanks Pep for calling out the ref (and Liverpool fans)

[ancoats]

the more you look at it the worst it gets ?
but the media did their work in trying to hide it ? now its all about salad wonder goal and goal of the season
the truth is if the referee did his job and give milner a 2nd yellow and red salad or mane would have been subbed for gomez and liverpool down to 10 men and a different game

I saw Henderson saunter over to a linesman, get in his face and tell him to ‘f… off’.

I’ve refereed a few games in my time, and disrespecting any official in that way warrants a card.

It just goes to show who is really running the show on the pitch when we play this spiteful, entitled lot.

OK I'm having a countdown (in my head only) on how long this will take:
"The unsavoury element of yesterday's game made headlines for the wrong reasons.

Manchester City have images of a Liverpool fan spitting at a member of Pep Guardiola's backroom team.

City have passed this onto Liverpool, who have launched an investigation. This work is continuing this morning."

Report from the BBC Website.

One thing I took out of yesterday is Ref bottled it AGAIN And our players are no longer intimated at Anfield. CTID

I dont like Jenas but his article on the BBC this morning is pretty accurate - for a change.

The more we can do as a club to highlight the reffing bias the better. I’d rather we use this game to do that at the highest level rather than get screwed over again further into the season .....

Hendo’s outburst was also the only time in living memory that the commentators didn’t apologise “…if you heard any inappropriate language”

Anyone think Pep will be asked to explain himself over his ref comments?

I hope he is because whoever is on the discipline panel will know he was right and it will allow this incident to be highlighted again. Unfortunately for exactly these reasons he won't be called in front of anyone.

also looked like Hendersen said get up you little c**t to Bernardo after Milner tripped him

Current Wikipedia page for Paul Tierney:

Now it says

Saw that to. It wasn't just a quick reaction he carried it on as he walked back to his position. From that moment on I knew that the dippers had the officials in their pocket, how else could you know that you could abuse an official so obviously and get away with it.
