It was highly debateable that the first penalty was legitimate.... has to be when Merson even says.. "No, No way is that a pen, I'd be very suprised if the ref gives that".... he obviously never read the memo.

Well saidFucking bent bastards. How can any genuine football fan defend that?
I’ll be consistent for @bridgeno1, Arsenals wasn’t a pen and neither was that we’ve just got. Standard of refereeing in this country is very poor, it’s killing the game

The difference being that almost every City fan will acknowledge when we get one that goes our way.I’ll be consistent for @bridgeno1, Arsenals wasn’t a pen and neither was that we’ve just got. Standard of refereeing in this country is very poor, it’s killing the game

Arses one was a dive , ours was at least an honest oneI’ll be consistent for @bridgeno1, Arsenals wasn’t a pen and neither was that we’ve just got. Standard of refereeing in this country is very poor, it’s killing the game
When a team attacks a lot they are bound to get more decisions as there are more opportunities to give one. I'm fine with City being awarded the pen, statistically they create a lot of opportunities to be awarded one, just like Arsenal do.I’ll be consistent for @bridgeno1, Arsenals wasn’t a pen and neither was that we’ve just got.

Honestly mate, stats and all that mean fuck all. You saying you’re ’fine’ with City being awarded a pen because we attack more is everything that’s wrong. You should get decisions if you’ve been done wrong, end of.

True, Gvardiol didn’t dive, just hate how we talk about referees
Of course but refs are human and make mistakes. Say 1 in every 10 or so penalty decisions is a howler. So if as a team you create 20 more chances to get a pen than another team then you'd on balance get another 2 pens. You'll also statistically get more going the other way too where the ref doesn't award them and that's a howler too. So probably evens out over a season.Honestly mate, stats and all that mean fuck all. You saying you’re ’fine’ with City being awarded a pen because we attack more is everything that’s wrong.
