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

I’m sure he’s a lovely bloke but ‘Chappy’ seemed like a proper irritating bastard when he used to do stuff for City TV. Based on that I’m not surprised Mancini treated him like shit, he’d do my head in after 30 seconds as well.

Always thought the same mate.
 
That's the angriest I've been at a game in a while. The referee was a fucking disgrace.

Felt like running on the pitch and sparking him.

It's amazing that a referee can turn out a "performance" like that and there'll be no repercussions. Still fuming.
Oh but there will be repercussions mate, have no fear.
Tierney is now nailed on to referee the derby for us!
 
When it comes to knowledge of the LotG, and let's be quite frank about it, they are probably one of the simplest set of laws connected to any major sport, the finest PiGMOL can muster will know them off by heart, inside out, back to front, and the right way round. If you came up with any scenario that could happen in a football match they would know what Law has been infringed and what sanction the LotG require to be delivered. And yet we see, week in week out, game in game out, referees ignoring the very instances outlined by the LotG as infringements. Why does it happen? The only satisfactory explanation and one which I could accept is that they were 'unsighted', but then we have flag-waving jokers to help and assist, plus another whistling wanker loitering between the technical areas, and then we have football's version of Hawkeye, video assistance. Why then do we witness, City fans more than most I suspect, referees blatantly ignoring what is written within the published LotG! Mike Reilly needs to address this without coming out with mealy-mouthed platitudes.

He was still blagging it on City TV last time I saw him, running around after the lass who does the videos like a soft puppy.
He thought that washing and arranging kit made him everyone's best mate in the dressing room, when he was just a shit stirring lackey.
He saw himself as someone important and didn't like it when he was put in his place.
 
One title in 31 years, and yet the place is described as a ‘fortress’, an unrivalled atmosphere, no team can play there, unique fans, so on and so forth…

Absolute horseshit.

In reality the whole experience is contrived and sanctimonious - the media play it up so they can wheel out some easy platitudes about a shithole of a city which in truth offers nothing worthy of praise. This by extension provides Carte Blanche for persistent shithouse behaviour from the gullible fan base, which is never properly addressed by the authorities.
Fully agree with what you say about the football club, and then some.
As for the city, I’ve had more better nights out there than I ever had in Manchester.
 
Hope it isn't a titanic moment, but spotted this from Paddy Power, made me chuckle
full article

The fall-out from Sunday’s 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Manchester City has taken a surprise twist after it emerged Pep Guardiola deliberately tripped match referee Paul Tierney in the Anfield car park after the game.

City boss Guardiola was furious in the second half when stand-in Reds full-back James Milner escaped what seemed like a certain second yellow card for a cynical trip on Bernardo Silva, and Paddy Power News has since learned that the Catalonian tactician sought revenge afterwards as Tierney made his way back to his car.

“It was carnage,” an onlooker said. “Tierney walked past the City team coach and Pep quite blatantly stuck a leg out, tripped him up then looked down at him shouting, ‘Isn’t that a fu**ing yellow then?’
“What made it worse was the ref was munching on some pizza and when he went down it went all over his best all-white suit.”


Another witness, who also wishes to remain anonymous, added: “There were kids present in that car-park. What sort of example does this set when one of our top managers starts acting like a 10-year-old?

“Children everywhere will now think it is acceptable to start legging-up headteachers whenever they feel like it.”Guardiola is understood to have been seething when he got back to the dressing room after his side twice came from behind to earn a well-deserved point, and was ready for a showdown with the man he thought had robbed them of a great chance to take all three points from their main title rival.
“He went straight to the ref’s office, but Tierney had locked himself inside,” another onlooker told us. “Pep tried twice to break the door down before being restrained by stewards.

“He was in a bad mood and who could blame him – when he got back to the dressing-room he also discovered that someone had gobbed on his new cardi.”
An Anfield source told us that Tierney was advised to get showered as quickly as possible and leave the area, but the match official is understood to have stated that there was ‘no way’ he was doing that as the ‘post-match buffet is one of the best in the Premier League’.

Whilst City have asked Liverpool to look into the spitting incident, Guardiola could be in serious hot water after upending Tierney, ruining his best clobber in the process. PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials) chief Mike Riley told us that they were looking into the events following Sunday’s game, before explaining that they would ‘definitely be charging City for their employee’s dry cleaning bill at least’.

City have distanced themselves from other accusations, including that a member of their staff pi**ed in Tierney’s petrol tank resulting in the official’s car breaking down just 50 yards outside Anfield then having to wait two hours for the AA to come to his rescue.

**Paddy Power’s breaking news coverage is 100% fake news. And that’s the truth.**
