West Brom Post Match Thread

[crazyg]

There is no way they dare act on Fernandinho whilst letting those tackles go. They know there would be hell to pay as it would reveal the idiocy of the no retro action because of yellows but can do for less otherwise.

Think that has helped us by helping them smuggle that under the rug as usual by not having to highlight something else that would have exposed the stupidity of that yellow means you can kill someone and get away with it idea.

That surely will be a rule that gets changed in the Summer.

You cannot argue it means you re referee a game when a referee misjudged the incident live given that you have VAR already doing exactly that.

But in most cases, they don't "misjudge" it. They know exactly what they're doing, imo. It happens too often, with the same referees, to be anything other than dishonesty. If they were just incompetent, they would be incompetent for both teams, but they're not. It's almost as if there was a conspiracy going on, but I won't say that as the same 3 or 4 usual suspects would immediately jump on this , saying "where's your proof?"

The only "proof" I have is what I see with my own eyes at almost every City match I watch, and having been an Auditor when I worked, the first thing you look for is a pattern in what's going wrong. This has been evident for at least 4 or 5 years now, and is getting worse every week.

I've also mentioned in a previous post that the VAR system is fundamentally flawed, as the same arbiters who make these crazy (no pun intended!) decisions on the pitch , will also be the very same people responsible to judge their fellow colleagues' decisions. Yes, even Blobby Madley! It's a terrifying thought.

What makes things worse, is that both Warnock and Pardew signposted to the referees what they were instructing their players to do and yet neither Mason or Madley took this information and decided to clamp down on the 'devilment' early.

When you then put this in the context of what Madley sent Walker off for earlier in the season then it is beyond a joke.

Ok its a while ago but then consider this challenge that Kompany got sent off for against the rags

Do not try and tell me it's not corrupt....

 

[sheepskin_tearaway]

Still not got over that Kompany red card. Although that was the game that really made me believe we were a team ready to take those twats on. Mancini re-jigged things and we dominated them with 10 men,

 

[Grassland Blue]

So many of our players were on it tonight. Aguero had one of his best games this season, involved a lot more simply because he got his passes off quicker and accurately, a nice reverse pass in first half to put De Bruyne through. So many good performances, should have buried WBA.

Laporte long range passing spot on! Silva brilliant until his injury. Zinchenko starting to look a natural at LB. Only disappointment was Ederson didn’t get involved in the game at all.

Ederson stood up to Sturridge on two occasions late on and he also made a 40 yard pass to his right.

Pardew had some good things to say about us

He can fuck off and take his thugs with him

As fine a tackle as you're ever likely to see.

That's why they'll probably go down

 

[Neville Kneville]

The echo reference was because I had already clearly already mentioned that the JFE contact was in the summer. The other frustration with you is that you make a comment without thinking it through (as we all do) but when called out you spend the next 10 pages trying to defend the indefensible.

Let me get this straight.

I am saying that Pep would essentially have been signing JFE as a short term, 4th choice cb.

Are you telling me i am wrong ?

 

[pride in battle]

It was heartwarming to hear pretty much the whole ground give Gareth Barry the ovation he deserved last night. We never really got a chance to say goodbye to him and I hope he knows how much he's loved by us for his role in our success. Love that picture of him running after Zaba as they celebrate the first goal against QPR

Yes it was fantastic, loved him at City

Dermot Gallagher believes Matt Phillips should have been sent off for his challenge on Diaz

http://www.skysports.com/football/n...or-spurs-against-man-utd-have-been-disallowed

Incident: Matt Phillips only saw yellow for this challenge on Brahim Diaz, but was it a red card?



Dermot's verdict: Wrong decision, red card

Dermot says: If the referee [Robert Madley] has the view we have here, he will send him off every day of the week because it is high, late, at speed and likely to endanger the safety of an opponent. But if you go back to the original shot, what you will see is that the only justification for not giving that is Gareth Barry is immediately between the referee and the incident and he does not have a clear view of it. All he sees is the outcome of it, rather than the actual occurrence itself.

Dermot was right it should have been a red but tried to mitigate with the observation about Gareth Barry obstructing Blobbies line of sight. Is this the same ref that did not see Walkers alleged foul against Everton. He took instruction from pitchside and gave him his marching orders, I want to know why no such instruction came from Friend he could have been no more than 20 yards away. Stinks.

 

[OB1]

They won't go down.

 

[Bluep*ss]

It’s the only way the bastards can stop us.
If they review it and ban Dinho without doing the same for McLean an Phillips then we definitely have proof the officials and the system are bent.
I don’t think they will dare risk it.

Very good point Burton..........

So who was stood between the assistant referee and the incident? no-one, so why didn't Madley consult and communicate with the linesman. If the ref didn't have a clear view as Dermot says, then he shouldn't be yellow carding him. He should only judge on what he sees not on the outcome, Dermot is just making excuses.

He must really be regretting his move away from the “Next Year” trophy winners.

Lol .
