Paranoia and Conspiracy Theories

[PeterParker]

This is our fault. If the board doesn't do shite, this will happen on an on.
I understand if we have ref problems in 1,2 games, but ffs in every away game and we do what? No even a statement, but as well said in another thread, we smile while they stick it our arse.

[gillie]

Aguero fouled in the box. Penalty ignored.
Handball in the box BY FUCKING NEVILLE. Another absolute penalty ignored,
Dzeko fouled by Fellani, puts his hands up because he knows its a foul. Ignored and then they sore.
3 points taken by a ref AGAIN.

Not going on Saturday now. Not even watching it. Will go with the misses to have her MOT and servicing done instead. Well done FA.

Ash mate my eldest lad said as much tonight he said he is seriously thinking about stopping watching football in the prem as its bent as it comes.

[Mase]

Turns out Bernstein is a yid after all! Glad we had that cleared up

[ross.mcfc]

Aguero fouled in the box. Penalty ignored.

Because it wasnt a penalty. No City player appealed including Aguero.

Wasnt a penalty. His arms stayed down by his side.

Dzeko fouled by Fellani, puts his hands up because he knows its a foul. Ignored and then they sore.

No. Dzeko is a lazy slow shitbag. Never a foul.

3 points taken by a ref AGAIN.

Three points thrown away by a gutless team who were out fought by the hungrier team AGAIN you mean?

This.

From what I saw, we look like Arsenal at their fucking worst.
Nice passing football but shite against teams that work hard and close down early.
Bob should look at this long and hard. We couldn't open them up.
Their goal took a lucky deflection that gave Hart no chance.
I really cannot remember us having a shot on target that threatened a goal. Nasri was closest, but hit the bar - hence off target.
We need to sort this the fuck out, starting on Saturday.

[Blue2]

Sorry, buy it was a pen on Aguero, clear as fucking day, and he did claim it and so did Sliva. Watch it again

How on earth that wasent a red I have no idea Studs so high he nearly took his knee off Moyes knew It to IMO thats why he took him off

[mcfc1632]

Do not know about the penalties as I have not seen replays - but that twat Walton gave what everyone is demanding from referees - CONSISTENCY!! just like every time he refs us he gives every possible decision to the opponents - Drenthe should have been booked several times before he was - he absolutely went out of his way to do us over - we were not great but it is made harder when every fucking decision possible goes against us

BTW - was Dzeko fouled before the goal?? it was hard to see from where I was - but I would not be surprised

But he is like this EVERY FUCKING TIME

It wasnt a red. The ref got it spot on. A yellow and played advantage.

Just because we have been on the end of some very dodgy decisions of late does not mean I want every player who fouls a City player to be sent off. Micah should also get a lot of credit for not making the most of it.

It was just the same as scholes did in the FA Cup semi last year. Studs into the thigh of an opponent. Therefore it merited the same punishment - a straight red.

You can be as contrary/controversial as you like, but it does not change the laws of the game.

[lovecity8utd]

The ref gave us very little. Should defintely have been a red for Drenthe and there were a couple of two footed lunges that went unpunished, but that's how it is going right now.

Anyway, with or without a fair ref, we weren't good enough to win last night and the teamneed tolook at their performance, not teh officials.

Of course that player should have been booked a long time before - so he would have been off either way - he just kept dishing out until he was booked and was then subbed straight away - anyone else think that was calculated by Moyes?

Yes. They did it at ours earlier in the season, taking turns to kick Dave Silva.

There is nothing about Everton that is in any way likeable.

Aguero, absolute penalty. Did he touch the ball? Did he fuck. Did he touch the man? Yep. Was it in the box? Yep. Penalty FACT.

His hand blocked the path of the ball in the area. What else is it but a pen?

Dzeko might be a soft cunt but it doesn't change the fact that it was a foul. Watch the replays.

I forgot about the studs in micahs leg aswell. Micah plays the ball with his right, THEN Drenthe lifted his studs up and studded Micah in the left thigh on the opposite side of the body he played the ball with. Straight red, the only reason the ref bothered booking him was so he didn't have to explain himself in an inquiry.

Before the ref decided everton we're a rugby team so the rules didn't apply to them we looked comfortable, confident and on for the win. Then they started kicking fuck out of us and getting away with it. The team realised it was happening,they realised they were playing against a referee AGAIN and then stopped playing. I honestly can't blame them. I knew the effects such obvious corruption would have on the team. They know if they do well they will have it taken away as usual. So why fucking bother. I can't blame the team because I can see it myself and I feel the same as them. What's the fucking point?.

Time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves, roll up our sleeves and come out fighting

[kinkylola]

what really got me wasn't the ref so much ... i 100% expect this to go on for the rest of the season, it will be up to us to rise above it and perform ... the offensive thing was the commentators who immediately leaped to defend neville, saying "if it isn't intentional, it's not a penalty" ... "The ball was struck with such speed, that he could not help it" and "What was he supposed to do" ... As if the same exact thing had not happened to us last week with Micah !!!! The fucking gall of these people.

[Original Dub]

The commentating on the game was some of the worst I've ever heard. Playing as frustratingly as we are lately, along with the absolutely ridiculous refereeing decisions (EVERY SINGLE GAME!!) is bad enough, but with that commentating... I actually felt like turning it off.

When the ball hit Neville's arm en route to Dzeko standing in front of goal, the commentators explained that it wasn't a penalty because he "tried to get his arm out of the way".

So all you have to do is TRY gentlemen. TRY not to be offside and you're sure to be through on goal. TRY not to foul and the whistle won't go. TRY not to lose and you're guaranteed at least a point.

This isn't exclusive - its not either the ref's fault OR the team's fault. It can be both. And last night it was a shocking performance from both the team and the ref.

Sure, we played pedestrian like and only looked like scoring once from open play... but these are games when maybe two penalties win you the game. Ask the rags, the ref spotted those two.

Oh, and definite red card for tackle on Richards. Exactly like the Scholes sending off in the derby last season.

A shite performance from City. Definitely. Two penalties and a sending off for Everton? Definitely.

Conspiracy? Maybe. Paranoia? Definitely not.

Don't let all those facts get in the way of certain City fans claiming it's 'just a coincidence' though Dub.
