Clattenburg

[Original Dub]

I know you're a WUM and you're longevity is impressive...

But what City players should have been sent off??

[Justified logic]

he does things that negatively impact City: "he's a rag and a bent ref"
he does things that don't negatively impact City: "well it's because it's clear as day and no ref would ever do that because it'd be obvious they were bent"

or, he's just an inconsistent ref who tends to favor star players (as is common in every single major sports league).
the way people on here were slamming him you would've thought we had 0% chance to win on Saturday.

damned if you do, damned if you dont. aside from Rooney not getting a card until very late there's little to complain about. if he really was a United sympathizer then he would've sent those players off that Jose mentioned.

Don't fall for the Mourinho agenda. The media were all over it immediately like a rash, but doesn't mean you have to have selective vision as well.

I don't often visit Twitter but this just fell into my lap.

✅Grappling in the box this season is a pen
✅Late challenge in box is a penalty
✅Kick out at player is penalty

That'd be three fouls and three penalties within a matter of seconds that Buyee hasn't been pulled up for. #impunity

But did Pep complain about them? Did ANY of the post-match pundits even mention them? No. Why not?

City.

Not us.

Why. Are. You. Here?

Because he's unemployed (and unemployable)

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Poor old Phips seems to attract a fair share of criticism and adverse comments for the posts he makes.

Anyone ever thought about cutting him just a little bit of slack ??

[Dameerto]

He was spot on today. You can have all your conspiracy theories but today he was spot on. Go on, write it. He had chances to give the dodgy call but didn't. Go on, write it.

Here's a conspiracy theory for you - maybe we got so fed up of season-after-season of bullshit that we finally bought our own PGMOL pocket ref just to ensure no dodgy decisions against us?

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Out of curiosity Dazby, did you bring up the subject of players giving refs lip when you spoke to Clattenburg?

[Plain Speaking]

I think he's got history with dodgy refereeing decisions against us. On Saturday he knew he was under close scrutiny and didn't make the pro-rag calls that most expected. That doesn't suddenly make him a great ref. One swallow doesn't make a summer.

The standard of refereeing in the PL under PGMOL is pretty poor. Although it won't solve all issues, I hope they get rid of PGMOL and bring in video technology to assist officials, like in many other top level sports.

No he was not , he was average that's all.

I thought swearing directly at the ref was now an auto booking too, and the whole world saw Rooney tell Clattenburg to fuck off in his face. So, did he not see/hear it, or did he simply choose not to enforce the rules?

I think Guardiola is trying not to come across as a moaning cunt. He won the game that seemingly the whole world wanted us to lose, no point being a bad winner.

Don't be too hard on Clattenburg.

He didn't see it, he didn't hear it and he said nothing......but he sure plays a mean pinball.

Everytime City have a proper result this crank ( phips) throws in a negative sly dig post or two Mikhail . He is playing a few on here a merry tune for sure !

I'll never 'slag off' anyone on this forum as I've too much regard for all who post here.

Just wanted to be fair to him, but I take your point.

Apologies.

[dazby]

Out of curiosity Dazby, did you bring up the subject of players giving refs lip when you spoke to Clattenburg?

No sir. When I asked for suggestions, everyone wanted me to ask him about being bent.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

He ignored Rooney swearing at him and missed kolarov having a tooth knocked out and because he didnt obviously cheat us that's now considered a good game?

Bravo won all the ball with no studs showing, telling people that was him being lenient is weak.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

He missed 4 Rooney bookings and a straight sending-off, a sending-off for The Swedish tramp and the Belgium degenerate, plus one possibly two City penalties. So can't really complain about his performance in this game.

Been awarded Referee of the year. Football has sunk to a new low

It says it all when I actually think he's been one of the better ref's this year. However, that takes into account his European games where he has been far better than in the PL. I remember seeing a total contrast of the use of regulations between a midweek CL to a weekend PL. Very strange.
