I thought the refs were told by the FA to screw over City? i thought i saw Oliver give a soft penalty to City...AND he didnt give a BLATANT handball on Aguero that lead to his goal. could Oliver be sacked before next weekend's matches?
Zabba was tripped and the referee gave a penalty, according to the rules of the game correctly applied.
Forget the adjective 'soft'.
From my view point it was a stonewall. There were lots of angles shown but the clearest one was shown a few minutes afterwards from the rear and showed what the ref seen. It looked so conclusive that he'd clumsily tripped him which is, unless the regulations have changed, a foul so therefore a penalty.
Not sure what the issue was. Could be seen as soft, by a few who wanted to stick to their original view (before the above view was seen), but a penalty all the same.
Phips is somehow trying to use this as part of his agenda to prove that there's no agenda. The epitome of the 'Agenda'ist', he could've almost started the trend.
