Disgraceful

Silly question to City fans I guess but are officials affected by the way the fans of opposing club love to boo Sterling ( not really knowing why?) and our written press have "attacked " him. It seems almost impossible for him to get penalties which are nailed on or even free kicks most of the time.

Today's was a joke and the lino had such a good clear view from not too far away.

It goes back to when Milner took him out from behind on the goal line when we played Liverpool at home and nothing was given. It's a disgrace.

You mean this one Mase?

Watch on youtube.com

@Doug, how else can it be explained, it's ridiculous the number of penalty shouts he doesn't get.

That's the one mate. It's worse than I remembered!

The worst part about that one for me was that some Blues were criticising Sterling for not being stronger in that situation.

Mike Dean for our trophy celebration.

Why do I get the feeling he'll be doing his best to dampen the day?

Think we'll be so so good and clinical this Sunday that it will be more than comical him not being able to try even fuck over our day.

My first ever City game was that 10 - 1, as you know in the away end. This time we are going on an equal rampage. Every record smashed! Bring it on.

We had Dean v QPR in 2012!! Can't imagine the game will turn out that special

Tierney did well today. Really only had one decision that was blown and that was missing the handball on Robben's shot.
We've now won all 8 matches that Tierney has been in charge of.

He was ok apart from the yellow card to Ederson, Foster had been taking longer over his kickouts when it was goalless, he gave in to crowd pressure there, weak.

Not the best not the worst .

If this is the biggest quibble, the ref has had a good game.

Thought this may be a good time to bring this back up. After watching the Rags being looked after it was a night and day comparison. The dragback on Sergio was obvious and was a 100% penalty and the booking of Gundogan was so ridiculous you could do nothing more than laugh.

They're back, with vengeance. Are they worrying the Dippers are slipping or are they seeing the Rags pulling it back, can't decide.

Tin-foil hat firmly on!

And you're forgetting about the foul called on Kev for having his foot kicked. Atkinson is both terrible and biased.

Yep, another strange one. Surely a ref can't get so much wrong, for one team, in one game?

He had his orders.

and on the other side of the fence, dipper fans are crying because he failed to spot the handball and didn’t give them a pen in midweek...

That's cos he's also a fucking crap ref, as well as biased (and under orders!)

I did not see how Sergio ended up hitting the deck in the 1st half I was watching the ball now I have seen it the ref and the RAG twat Neville can fuck right off, Mustafi grabs Sergio and the ref has the perfect view. If that's the dipper cheat Sala that is given. And as for the studio and Tyler & rat boy RAG making a case for handball for Sergios third, then the above incident shows the SKY agenda is anyone but City.

Good angle on the handball



It looks like it hits the back of his upper arm after coming off his hip, I didn't spot it hitting his hip at all on the replays from the other angle.

So how would VAR deal with that? Completely unintentional.

According to MOTD last night the Var people said they would've disallowed the goal

And did the cunts say the VAR people would have awarded Sergio a penalty for the blatant foul ?

So, does that mean any goal that comes off the hand/arm will be disallowed regardless of intent?

As far as I'm concerned you could have 40 refs sat in a darkened room with their var. To me its it's just another tool to get whatever outcome they wish regardless of which team it is used against.
That was NOT handball yesterday.
