Worst ever decision

[LoveCity]

That phantom penalty the rags got against us, summed up their relationship with referees perfectly.

Also mystified by the Kevin Horlock red card for "walking aggressively" to this day!

So many to choose but to throw another couple of recent ones in the pot Wigan v City last year Figueroa last man handball on halfway line. Rules state it should have been Red no only a yellow.

Of course how can we forget Granny Sh*gger elbow surprisingly against Wigan on James McCarthy, even after review C*ntenberg did nothing.

find me that 'law' please

There are seven offences for which a player, substitute
or substituted player can be sent off and shown the
red card if he:
1. Is guilty of serious foul play.
2. Is guilty of violent conduct.
3. Spits at an opponent or at any other person.
4. Denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring
opportunity by deliberately handling the ball
(this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own
penalty area).
5. Denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an
opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an
offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick.
6. Uses offensive or insulting or abusive language and/or
gestures.
7. Receives a second caution in the same match

It wasn't an obvious goal scoring opportunity. The laws state that potential goal scoring opportunity (ie. Kun having not touched the ball, never mind ever having it under control, on the half way line on a wet and cold night where he could have slipped or the keeper could have come out to get there before him...) is different to an obvious goal scoring opportunity.

That's why I've always stated that Boyata's red card when he brought down Chamach was incorrect because the ball speedily got into the arms of Joe Hart and Chamach would never have got to it, Usain Bolt would never have got to it...therefore Boyata's didn't deny an obvious goal scoring opportunity.

it's not a clear and obvious goal scoring opportunity

aguero does not have ball under control and he's 50 yards from goal, no ref would give a red for it and if he did, he would be marked down by any assessors at the game

surely after the game they should take the yellow off him aswell

Agree but don't think they can rescind yellow's unfortunatly, should have given a red to Jeff Shreeves for asking him in the post match interview if he had dived

didn't one of the pundits have a go at shrives for that ?

it wasnt shreeves it was andy burton, and summerbee kicked off in the pundits box!

When Shrek elbowed Wigans James McCarthy in the head in an outright assault. Clattenburg gave him a cuddle and the FA decided to take no further action, even though it was captured on TV cameras and was as plain as day.

That is down to interpretation and wait a f*cking minute this is Sergio Aguero we are talking about 50 yards from goal for him is a Goal Scoring Opportunity. :)

true, but i doubt you'd find a ref who would give it

are you 100% sure given the position of the ball and its trajectory aguero would have been able to turn, control it, run towards goal and outrun figueroa then have a clear shot on goal?

too many variables in my opinion for a red
