Re: Linesman form Sunday stood down....

Hoping theres another reason why he has been taken off the match.

Pathetic if true.

Re: Linesman form Sunday stood down....

It's his own fault for displaying some sort of personality. The world is such a banal, soulless place these days.

Top man! Think if something is going to be done about ticket prices, now is when its gonna happen. Don't know if city fans sent back 900 tickets in protest, couldn't afford them, or "don't have the fanbase to sell them", or even if it was a combination of them all, but people seemed to take notice this time.

Certainly wasn't that. Took 6,000 for a Wednesday night League Cup game last season.

Quite sure we took more like 9K mate ...granted it were 10 sheets a pop

Re: The Liner:

Rumour going round Facebook saying the linesman has now been pulled from certain matches anybody heard anything ??

He has been pulled, supposed to be doing the west brom game but taken off it. Let's do something about it...

Oh give over.

Personally i think the linesman was looking for his bit of fame. Arrogant is another word that springs to mind,

Or could it just be that the Linesman was showing some empathy with football fans being ripped off?

Good to see he is being bollocked for passing a comment on something that was none of his business

Re: Linesman form Sunday stood down....

He went a step too far. Arsenal's pricing was none of his business. Neither was telling City players what to do.

Standard practice to shake everyone's hand on the pitch at the end of the game, including the officials and then go over to applaud your fans. Liner's comemnts of course correct, but he jumped the gun a tad.
