****Official Dippers versus Man City CC match thread****

My heart sank, literally sank when I seen him give advantage to Liverpool for a so-called Kolarov foul. And then, he had the cheek to come back and book him! I've seen it all in football but when you see something as blatant as that (please tell me I've got it wrong) then you realise, really realise that there is something deep-seated in the corridors of power.

I was already gobsmacked to see the foul was given against Kolarov. and when he was booked I just couldn't believe it!
I must've missed something in the replay they showed...

I'm glad, and sad, that you've confirmed that point. That single event is proof beyond doubt for me that whatever we try to do will be shot down in flames.

I said at half-time that Dowd should've learnt from his errors, but he continued onwards, that says it all.

A sad say.

I was left baffled by that one.As it happened I was screaming for a foul on Kolarov so when he stopped the play I thought at last. Not only the wrong way ,as the slow mo showed ,but he booked Kolarov as well.Quite amazing.

Yes we were shite tonight but we got beat by more pathetic refereeing and its doing my fuckin head in.How does Micah stop the ball with his foot thetrefore not a pen how does Adam stop Dzeko by kicking his ankle therefore a pen.Go figure.

It says it all doesn't it mate. That one incident is eating away at me as it was so blatant. Who can we trust and how can we as City fans expect a fair run-in?

and yet that one will never get a mention again outside of a City forum.

Nope. We should have been going berserk on the pitch about that one though. The fact that we weren't says everything about our attitude to these games, which has imo stemmed from the top & certainly transmitted to the crowd at our place.

But we were shitnso fuck it.

Make or break time for the boss now.

No chance. A 2nd place finish would be a decent progression from last season, whatever else happens. So long as we keep improving, we end up where we want to be.

KD:

"He was unbelievable. If Man City have anyone else like Craig that they don't want to keep, they know where we are," Dalglish said.

Carlito for Carroll . . . .

Got back late from the match last night but felt that over the 2 legs, though we had our moments there simply weren't enough of them in the 180 mins.

A key last night was that though we twice got ourselves in front, we never held the lead for any length of time, thus sequiring a decent foothole in the tie. From the first 10 mins of the first leg when Gerrard scored the pen at our place, we were always chasing the bloody thing.

Savic was a total liability. The kid might come good but we cant afford to blood him and let him work out his errors in the middle of a title race. He's had a run of games now and got more nervous and more exposed, the more he's played. No more please.

No way we lose that tie with Kompany and Ya Ya, in fact even with Kompany. His sending off effectively knocked us out of 2 cups.

Thats 3 trophies we have been knocked out of now. Its time to go and win something this season to cement the great football we've played. We have 16 Cup finals left.

Savic played will with kompany there next to him. I think we would be alright giving him a few games/bringing him on when we are winning aslong as he is partnering kompany. Kompany keeps our defenders in check when he is on. Makes sure they are where he wants them. So I won't mind seeing him come on a few times in the rest of the season aslong as VK is on with him.
