I

have found MOTD lately might show one controversy in a game but leave out so many others.

Sky would have I’m sure but not MOTD.
I guess because MOTD has limited time to discuss each game, whilst fitting in several other games.

Whereas Sky can chat for over an hour after a game, and can use MNF to discuss the weekends biggest talking points
 
For the first time in a long, long time I thought the ref showed an obvious bias. I don’t usually subscribe to the idea of deliberate bias shown towards the top six, though it might happen from a subconscious perspective. But in the Forest/City game it was questionable…
Funny you should say that , over on City’s forum Bluemoon they all we’re saying Forest were heavy handed tactics and the ref was awful
 
Apart from Diaz should have walked. ( second yellow)

Letting City off with cynical fouls to break up Forests counter attacks.( their main tactics)

One Forest player lost part of his shirt in the winning goal phase of play.
Actually ripped his shirt off.

Not a mention of the last two on motd.

I always listen for the reaction of the crowd in live games it’s very telling in this one.
Foden had a high tackle on his knee . City fans think that should have been a Red
