The fact Darren England was in the UAE days earlier getting paid to ref a match in the UAE is highly inappropriate. The optics are shocking. Why is the UAE flying in English refs who officiate in the PL, rather than having locals officiate?

As City fans, does this arrangement make you uncomfortable? It was clearly an error. But imagine if that decision was in your favour against Liverpool, days after the refs in question just got back from an all expenses paid trip to the UAE to earn 5k each to ref a domestic UAE match.

Do not plead ignorance. You know deep down this is dodgy and reaks. All it would take is a decision in your favour, and for it to have been the case the referee in question was in the UAE days earlier under the same deal Darren England was on - and thats it, scandal, accusations, and genuine appearance of conflict that would put another microscope on the Man City name.

Calls for Howard Webb to ban PL refs from getting paid outside their capacity as PL refs, and it has to happen.

Christ you love jumping on the Daily Mail hyperbole and then come on here trying to get a reaction out of people don’t you? So you are suggesting the Premier League and it’s subsidiaries such as PGMOL are in bed with Manchester City? This is the Premier League which is trying to hang 115 charges on the club using hacked emails and accusing the club of providing false accounts and has been trying to push this through since 2020.

I guess you were more than happy to sit back and laugh when we got fucked over at Old Trafford with an either incompetent or corrupt piece of reffing that led to Rashford’s goal being allowed. This then handed the initiative to Arsenal to push on in the league.

If you look at the results from this weeks games it hasn’t handed any advantage to any team in Manchester. It’s helped teams in North London get close to the summit, why are you crying about a break that’s helping Arsenal more than it is City?

How about an apology to Pep for Pawson not refereeing the match as it should. He saw the foul on Walker, therefore he should have known it was worthy of a second yellow. That non decision to send the Wolves player off, who scored their winning goal, may have cost us the game.

What about stopping the game when City were attacking for a wolves player going down with cramp, in the pathetic 6 minutes of added on time, even the commentator said that there was going to be a load of time added on although only seems that that applies to Arsenal, they regularly get 10 minutes added on.

If this game is replayed it will be a genuine Pandora's Box event.

They will be challenged in the courts when they refuse to replay others.

Also, as a side issue, a supporter has paid entry and transport for a game that has been deemed as void! How many games do we have to pay to attend before Liverpool get the result they require? (And when in the hell are these extra games played?)
 
Look, if that was us on the end of that we'd be livid. There's a massive hypocrisy here as they brnefitted more from VAR than not.

However the fact is they were robbed of a result and by the looks of how they are playing could be a massive 3 points in the title race. What this will do is put more scrutiny on how games are officiated and it's a needed action. I only wish we had the spine to go nuclear like Liverpool had. It's clear as day to anyone who watches City that we are reffed differently to the other top teams.

While i agree in theory, it is hypocrisy of the highest order that they are now bleating in the press about an incorrect decision when so many have gone in their favour ever since var came to fruition that they are known as LiVARpool, im all for getting it right but you cannot go well its swings and roundabouts when its going in your favour and then threaten to sue when it doesnt, i hope they take this further i really do and then it can show how many decisions have incorrectly gone in their favour, they are doing themselves no favours whatsoever here

With all due respect I believe you are conflating two different issues. Liverpools clear hypocrisy with the need
for a complete overall of VAR and probably the way the PL is refereed.

The fact that it is one of the history clubs complaining is even better, it means the powers that be are less likely to ignore their complaints.

I hope other clubs including City now speak up , as the standard of refereeing and the secrecy and unacounbtability of the PGMOL isn't acceptable.

Spot on. It was a fucking disgraceful decision regardless of who you support. Not just disgraceful but utterly unfathomable that they couldn't arrive at the correct decision.
