****City v Burnley Official Match Thread****

[Mase]

Mase I'm with you pal. Very close to packing it in.

God's honest truth. Between the fans not caring and the totally unlevel playing field it's just become something that ruins the experience for me.

I'm clinging on but it's slipping away from me.

It's just become boring knowing full well every other match we'll be screwed over by the ref. They tried their hardest in the 11/12 season but we managed to ruin their party and still win the league. It's been on another level since then because they know they have to.

[zuricity]

If we could put the ball in the onion bag we wouldn't need to worry about this cunt in black.

I'd still be worried, even if we were one nil up.

We're down to ten men and the ref is allowing them to do whatever they fucking want.

Big team talk coming up.

I think Pep should go for a lie down and leave them to it. However, they're getting more and more wound up with the ref, and very understandable.

Regardless of the second half, enough is enough. Guardiola needs to bring it all out, back his players for getting angry at what they/we see as 2 different set of rules. Take the fine, take the fucking ban, just get in their fucking faces because if we continue to stand back and take it, the season has finished.

This ref has got anothrer red card in him just wait

Give over --50 odd thousand fans got to the game and they seem to fuckign care!!

I care and so does every cunt on this site care...........its a match thread......

FFS its like deja fuckign Vu on here.......a real fan would never stop watching no matter who said what...give your head a wobble mate.
Its always healthy to vent and right now the manager and players (most of them ) deserve all the slagging that's coming their way.

Mate, I'm not disillusioned because we're not playing well.

You drop points fair and square and I'm here long enough to take it on the chin.

But there are two issues here and it's a fact that we are being cheated.

I would never quit because the game got tough. I'd quit if it became evident it wasn't a level playing field.

I'm feeling it after a few years of it being an almost weekly thing.

That's the truth pal.

STOP SAYING 'it was two footed'!!! THERES NO RULE AGAINST A TWO FOOTED CHALLENGE. ITS IF THE PLAYER DOESNT HAVE CONTROL OF THE TACKLE!

Two feet launched does not sound like one who is in control. That's the point when you use two feet. You are automatically risking a red.

It's as if you think there is really no chance he should have been sent off for what he did. Fern risked it with such a decision.

Are you watching the game ? Because if you are not you should shut up.

Ferds tackle was never ever a foul He was first to the ball and both sets of studs were pointing to the ground, not up at someone's leg.

He won the ball in time, the burnley player had lost control of the ball.

This referee has an agenda. He is worse than the Rag fan that reffed the Chelsea game.

That's the way I still see it. I know the rules of the game nowadays don't allow any physical contact, but Fern had that won and knew it going into a 60/40 challenge in his favour. He wasn't out of control and won the ball.
As I stated earlier. It's a sad day for football if that is a red.
Then compare it to how consistently worse challenges by Burnley have gone unpunished. On the commentary I'm listening to the guy has mentioned that the game seems to be being reffed by committee.
I think with the amount of times Mason has gone to his earpiece before making a decision, this seems to be true.

Please. Pull the fucking trigger

Seen the replay a few times now, and I've changed my mind to a yellow card. He doesn't catch him with his studs and actually is in control. The tackle on Sagna was just as bad or worse. Still, a very stupid challenge by Sagna.

The main point being, 'In control'. It was a perfect challenge in my book, hardly touched the cunt!

I would say it was absolutely perfect. You literally can't tackle anymore. It's such a shame.

[zuricity]

Henkdrick Elbows Kun off the ball for a foul no second yellow !

[zuricity]

Leaves his leg in against Kdb ! that is a foul and a card

And the hits just keep on rolling.

Excuse me, but don't tell me to shut up. I don't respond to you or anyone else like that nor with intended disrespect so I expect the same in return. You can save that for the loudmouths on here if you so wish.

I am watching. Don't take out your anger on me.

I'm trying to see the play fairly. It's as if we're the only club that has problems with the refs. Do you watch other games in the PL? If not perhaps you should consider what you are saying more carefully. The refereeing in the PL is not so good. Duh.

The ref made other questionable decisions but not there by I am guessing most observers, so then how is that such a poor decision then? Why are some of our own fans saying it was a red? So, we're all rags? How can that be the only logicial conclusion?

I'm sorry to say, but it feels that some of our fans appear to refuse to accept pretty much any decision that goes against us that isn't 100% agreed upon. A ref is not always going to make decisions the way you personally see it and when others may disagree.

[john@staustell]

The point is, we've been crap

[sidSmith]

Despite everything, we're dull as shit.

[zuricity]

where's the card for pulling kun back (ward) ?

[bigblue]

Fuckin pathetic what football has turned in to. I'm done with it 100% after this season.

Why wait til the end of the season when you can fuckoff now (and take the lazy Serb with you as well)?

You're easily the biggest dick head on here. By far. I feel so sorry for you because your private life must be terrible. I'm guessing your uncle touched you as a kid as well.

And you suck at having an argument. It's strange how you always assume that I have a horrible life when I reply to your bollox. A doctor would call that projecting but I'd just say you're an idiot

Suck at having an argument. Hahahahaha why do you constantly want an argument with fellow fans?

Are you OK honestly? I'm worried pal.

I'm fine but might want to get your own head checked out, as there seems to be a big hole where a brain would normally be.

Stop this nonsense, i am not angry with you, but you should know how to play the game before you make comments like that. I am also not angry at all
