Totally agree the bit I saw redshite was getting every call , Arnold blatantly Plays the ball with his hand right in front of Lino should have been a yellow not even a free kick cunt gives a throw in
Everton lad couldn’t believe it bent as fuck

Much worse in the first half. A definite stamp by TTA on the knee of Richarlison whilst Robertson purposely dropped on a player to forearm in the back of the head. No penalty for Dick Van when he pushed Calvin-Lewin as he shot and many more incidents where the Dippers got away with everything.

I see that a lot of you are on the verge of giving up. I've been struggling to even be bothered to watch games and certainly don't watch any other football than City.

However i want to fight back and have been reflecting on what this is all about at root. No-one ever hated City as a club, probably more the contrary, or laughed at. So all this shit has come about because of one thing. The football establishment in this country doesn't like that some rich arabs got hold of part of their beautiful game. And it is the rich Arabs bit that is the real problem. Proof of this is that other rich types have upset the applecart before - Blackburn, Chelsea - and while they didn't like that much either, it didn't lead to systematic cheating and rule inventing to try and bring them down.
At root this is fucking racism, made worse by upsetting their whole fluffy world and cosy cartel.

The biggest irony of all this is that City's owners are without doubt the most professional, organised and supreme gentlemen this country's football industry has ever seen. They have raised the bar on how to go about your business that the rest of them couldn't even dream about - as it is outside their imagination.

So just to say fuck this giving up shit, these kind of small minded, bent, corrupt and racist fuckers cannot be allowed to win out. We have to be in it for the long haul, support our owners and our team through everything, if we take a knock back and fail to win, even worse allowing the dippers to use that corruption to get their long awaited triumph - then we just got to take it, stay blank faced and stoic and come back again and stuff them royally, stuff the corrupt officials, bent Sky and the dumb as fuck media by winning the lot all over again.

Rest assured our canny owners will be making ever more sophisticated plans and strategies for the club to get even better, and properly over the long term. That alone gives me a lot of pride, and a lot to fight for. These guys are gents and they deserve all the support we can muster, so if we have to suffer as a part of that so be it.

The football establishment cannot be allowed to bully our club.

When the rags penalty VAR was going on, the rag fans started cheering a second or two before the decision came up on the screens. TBH, no-one seemed to notice, but there was definitely a second or two delay from them cheering the pen and the VAR decision coming up on screen.
I can only assume this was courtesy of Sky via mobile phone.
Which to me says(as others have pointed out / surmised) that Sky are running the VAR show.

100% this bent as fuck. No doubt it was pen though, stupid fucking tackle

My son just put his head down and knew it'd be given. No arguments. Pen all day. However the fan at home shouldn't be finding out first.
Maybe the fan in the ground was watching the coverage and could see it was nailed on.
The bigger question is still the shambles at Anfield when the offside on Salah was suddenly shown from an angle that made him look on!
Now Neville and Tyler both said that would be ruled out. It was given in seconds, yet the day before the VAR team took nearly 3 mins to rule out a Sheff U goal at Spurs.
I wish they'd just admit the system wasn't working at the Liverpool v City game.

Silva was similar against Bournemouth when VAR checked it and said it wasn't a pen.
