Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Would never say that refs have cost is more than poor performances, but it is fine lines that owt you titles, top four or relegation. If city get the win v spuds they go second. A penalty that was never given. Doesn't guarantee a goal, But it should of put Spuds down to 10 men. 30 seconds later it's 2-2. With no thanks to Bravo, again. This year I have seen some of the best goalkeepers in the Prem ever. Courtois the best, Burnley, Everton, Boro, arsenals keepers have been excellent and kept them in Games. Ironically Bravo and the spuds keeper have been atrocious. Would Hart of made a difference, without a shadow of doubt. His signings Jesus, Gundohan, De Bryune are a class above most of what was already at City.
As a City fan, it is not all rosy watching them at times, certainly when seeing people like Kompany, Zabba, Kolarov and a few others who are past there best.
it sticks in my throat saying this but, City are a team in transition, it is something that Fergie managed to do quite well building three dynasties whilst at the swamp.
I fully agree that decisions at the time can feel bad. Trust me as a fan of a small club I've had plenty of cause for complaint in the past. But I don't think any team has one the league, or been relegated and can truly blame the refs.
I dont watch you as as much as you do, but I'm sure since the money has come in, you can probabaly recall more occasions you've had a good advantage compared to the days y I struggled at Maine road.
Btw, De Bruyne was there before pep I believe.

Half of me is laughing, come on Hull :whoo:
He was being sarcastic in response to tashy.
he pointed gundogan, de Brunei and Jesus as three quality signings by pep.
Problme is, ones played One game I believe, one is injured and the other wasn't signed by pep.

What is Phil Neville on, they show Rojo pulling McQuires shirt and he says it was wrong, that's not a penalty apparently!

Whether a penalty or not, if the player doesn't pull the shirt the ref has no decision to make

He's dragging his shirt, they're ones we go mad at when the officials miss them.

The problem once again is inconsistency. Yes it's a penalty, but we see defenders doing that every week without getting punished for it. At the start of the season it was being clamped down on and then it all went quiet - much like the players surrounding the ref. If the refs gave the decisions week in week out then players would stop doing it.
Have to be honest in real time I thought it was soft but seeing the replay you can see why it's given and of course you see it happening on your striker every set piece and want a penalty, knowing 99% of the time it'll never happen. Sets up the second half though

We all agree they're inconsistent, but I'd rather he gave it than not.
Kellfire

And there's the inconsistencies showing. That's a penalty.

Absolutely agree. If they gave them and then kept giving them the problem would soon go away.
Also agree with Kellfire that the challenge on Smalling was also probably a penalty.

Come on, Smalling threw himself theatrically, you are allowed contact, no way was that a pen.
