*** City v Everton (21 Aug) official match thread ***

[edge275]

What's letting us down massively is our play in the final third and the dogshit refereeing that never ends.

[CTID Hants]

That's surely a case for dubious decisions panel!!!!

Be gobsmacked if it reached them. Would give my house away if they overturned it

Can't appeal a yellow. Which is why we get so many 2nd yellow red cards. The game is fixed.

New rules.... • an opposing player has been sent-off where the act of simulation and/or feigning injury led to a straight red card or caused one of the two cautions that led to the dismissal.

[ayrshireblue]

Also peps tactical change moved otter and kompany which led to the goal down that side.

Ground hog day

Kompany has always, always been the right sided central defender. If Pep had played a full back on the left instead of a winger then he wouldn't have felt the need to change Kompany to cover for Sane.

takes stupid players to make stupid decisions
walker is a dick

He did fuck all in my book.

[Blue In Bolton]

Just really fucked off with it. I don't see us getting anything out of this match at all.

Didn't know that but doubt that we'll benefit from the rule change.

[PrezIke]

forget the decision
we have been shit. clueless football. shit loads of possession with the players on completely different wavelengths in the final 3rd
SHIT

Yet, we also aren't finishing chances...still

My point is otter was having a Decent game and arguably our best attacker. That tactical masterpiece undone that work and resulted in komps being mugged on that side.

So many negatives it's unreal

[Original Dub]

Isn't it this season they are seriously clamping down on simulation, even retrospectively?

Clause b: Unless your MCFC in which case we'll extend the ban

[Tokyo Blue]

Harsh but he's also an idiot for doing something stupid so soon after being booked.

He's cost us the game now.

Never in a month of Sundays would that have got a second yellow if it was a Rag. The cunt couldn't wait, he wanted Walker off so they can demonise the billion dollar FB.

It wasn't a yellow card, but if you've just been booked then you're on the mind of the officials and (rightly or wrongly) you should take a few minutes to calm down and concentrate on your football.

Walker chose not to do that and looked at the player before he bumped into him.

He shouldn't have been sent off but he also needlessly put himself back into the focus of the officials.

I can't work out if you are simply being contrary or just a fucking retard. Is Walker supposed to let the bloke bring the ball down, wander through and score?

He did not touch the man. It is a massive con act by the cheating scouse prick and the ref has fallen for it. There's a surprise. We will see if this much-vaunted committee for overseeing players trying to fool referees actually has any function after this match. I hold no hope, and it doesn't really matter anyway because a) job done by the ref, and b) this match has gone over the hills and far away.

[nottsblue]

Did someone say Messi is coming.....

We may as well save the brass, even he wouldn't polish this turd. Poor finishing again

[Burt]

Bet he sends another one of our players off maybe 2 more 2nd half the bent cunt!

Absolute tosh mate. What did he actually do wrong, look at him?

As RatBoy said, you have to do a lot to get that second yellow and the only thing that happened there was that the ref was conned. There was no elbow, nothing, just 2 players coming together and only 1 sanctioned for it.

RatBoy said snide, I'd say cheats.

[london blue 2]

Go and deliver the cash by hand for Sanchez

[zabbadabbado]

Fuck it….. focus on the positives…. we lose this, media will take the piss for a couple of days, whilst sucking Maureen’s dick… Bookmakers will make the Scum red hot favourites for the Title, pressure is off us, and on them.

Maybe this was Peps plan, hence playing Sane as wingback.

Got to honest, he is seriously getting on my fucking nerves with his square peg in round hole shit.

We sign Sanchez he will probably put him in goal.

[Sideshow Bob]

compare what walker did to get red carded today with what he got away with against sterling last year. just a coincidence right? no agenda right? ok.

Sane cost us the goal.

But as usual we should've been 3 up

[Beefymcfc]

Raheem should've been on from the start.

Sane has been gash btw. He better buck up this second half.

I keep reading on here that it is all in our heads, mate. But then I keep seeing it in matches week after week.
