The name of that referee?

We're talking about a guy that thought a goal kick was a goal. In that respect, we got lucky tonight!

Because that was the single most biased refereeing performance I have ever seen in 35 years of watching football. He without doubt cheated that day, but unfortunately for him we were so superior it did not matter in the end. Some of his decisions were beyond belief and would have been embarrassing for a referee at any level yet he did it from the first minute to the last. I'm sure he must cried himself to sleep that night such was his hell-bent devotion in trying to affect the game towards Wolves. I presumed he was bumped back down to Sunday League level as we have not had him since but his dislike for anything Man City burns bright. Though I must say today was mild compared to that home games against Wolves. He's a cheating twat, End of.

It would of sufficed if you just said it was the last time he officiated our game.
 
Two elbows on DM and one on Otamendi by Defoe. The dirty **** that dragged his studs down the back of Sergios calf as he was scoring his goal and the elbow in the face on Clichy? in the dying minutes that he himself was booked for. Any one that thinks this ref was ok is on the fucking pipe. The guys a ****.
 
I still can't get my head around the fact we had more players booked than Sunderland .

When Sunderland have done more fouls .

Then again it's been like that all season .

Expect the same on Saturday against Leicester City .
 
Atwell has dropped a series of high-profile bollocks. He is a clown. But tonight he seemed like a one-eyed clown, ignoring their pulls, kicks and elbows but seeing all our errors. OK, I've only seen it from the away end and I may be a tad biassed but I'm sure that wasn't a fair performance.
And I worry because his high-profile fuck ups just looked like moments of madness but tonight (and that game against Wolves a few years back) looked too one-sided to be random errors.
Other than that the traffic was OK, the pulled chicken burger at KFC was messy and the car managed 50 mpg.
And we spent the last hour giving the ball to Sunderland because we were too slapdash to keep possession for more than two seconds. We didn't manage one meaningful attack in the second half against a side in the bottom three. That's piss poor by any standards.
The Pellers song got several good airings though.
 
Let me explain myself.

If we come away from a game complaining about bookings for opposition I class him as ok. When you compare some of the performances we've had over the years that wasn't one that got me hit under the collar.

Wasn't that where we won 3-1 I think with Vinny being sent off? I think the Vinny sending off was actually the only decision he got right all night. If it was that match, i will fully agree. The most astonishing referee performance I've ever seen. Diabolical.

I agree, that Wolves game was literally the most one sided refereeing performance I've ever seen. I can remember even back then we had a dodgy refereeing thread so god know what my choice of language was like that night. I do remember before the game though someone trying to point out that we only moan at refs when we lose and yet that night everyone was in shock despite us winning convincingly in the end.
 
He was an absolute shambles. Never mind the two blatant elbows in the face by Defoe, the one where Fernandinho got booked was blatant cheating. Typical game against an Allardyce team, but you would wonder which one he managed if you see the ref's performance.
 
I kind of let him off for not booking the Sunderland player who went studs up on the back of Sergio's calf because I thought it was a tough one to see, but as the game progressed I realised I wasn't wrong mentioning to my dad that Atwell is a fucking awful referee.

He missed two elbows by defoe and allowed Sunderland to kick us all over the pitch yet one little nudge by our players he was quick to blow for a foul. When you see the majority of officials in the champions league you realise that the standard of referees in the premier league is a joke and the FA need to do something about it.

I thought he look lost, not in control.

Even if you have a shocker it's best to give the impression of being in charge.
