He may have had a point but I don't like it

Second time he's done it now

Not very sportsman like and not befitting the man

Under pressure.

Indeed ... sure sign that pressure might be getting to himfor me. He needs to calm it down with that bollox

Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck. Plenty of other managers do much worse and nothing gets said.

It has to stop. Apart from it looking stupid he could soon end up waving it from the stand if he doesn't watch himself.

The imaginary card, I mean :)

Has card waving become the ultimate crime? Everyone seems to say "Oh, he's waving an imaginary card. That's it then"
What about other managers who yell and wave at the referee? Or players who surround the referee. Is that supposed to be better?

It was also a clear red.
Get the fuck over it.

Yeh rather he didn't but with the decisions that are not going for us and those that are very much going against us i guess he feels the referees may need some help in making correct decisions. It's bourne out of frustration.

FFS get over it. His first language is Italian so therefore uses hand signals to put forward his point! Do you not think other managers complain to the fourth official about decisions!?

Don't have a problem with it.

Managers demand bookings on a weekly basis. I don't understand why asking for it with your lips is ok but doing it with is your hand is such a big crime.

He wouldnt have to wave his bastard hand if the fucking Ref actually did what hes paid to do.

The refs the WANKER here not Mancini.

This whole what about them attitude is pathetic, from the fans to the manager to the player. At the start of the season we didn't give a shit about anyone else because we were playing the best. Going through a tough patch and everyone is up in armS about what everyone else gets away with etc

Fucking bitches

Total lack of class from a man I've come to expect better from.

I'm a very big Bob Manc fan

And he's class the way he handles himself off the pitch

Perhaps some of you are right

Pressure

His increasing frustration simply mirrors the increasing amounts of dodgy refereeing decisions we have to endure. Don't see why it means he's cracking up or that the pressure's getting to him. It's not like he's constantly twitching, goes scitzo at other managers for.not giving the ball back quickly enough, or has a court case looming.

I think he's a bit agitated, but, fucking hell, he has every reason to be. they are openly fuckin with us. the refs.

It doesn't look nice, he could find another way to protest, but we have to take into account that he's from Italy, warmblooded mediterranean stud, if you will ))

maybe we should recall RSC to serve as a punching bag?

bobby's head is not in a good place right now. we've been FUCKING DIRE since christmas (we got lucky in the 3-0 v. dippers, imo). i think he's running out of ideas and slowly going mental. hence, the imaginary card waving, the constant moaning to the media, etc.

This.

In his position, I'd have done a lot more than wave my fucking hand about at a ref a long, long time ago.

It was a red card he was the last defender and he did stop a goal scoring opportunity as Aguero had at least 20 clear yards on the nearest other defender.Imo Bob was right gesticulation and all.

What a weird thing to say. All those saves Joe Hart had to make, eh. Dozens of 'em.

Hate it when players do it so I find it rather sad to see our own manager do it.
