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…

The one issue I can remember is the Dias one where he prob should have got a second yellow

Agree.
The amount of fouls the ref let City off especially in the first half was obvious.
Then the first one by Anderson he booked him.
But Dias and Anderson were not booked for the fouls but dissent for complaining.
It’s like he was determined not to book anyone for a foul no matter what.

He really should have gone and looked at the monitor in the Dias one.
 
One thing I noticed in the Spurs Palace game yesterday was the ref was hurrying the players up taking a throw in.

But he waited until the CBs were allowed to jog up for a long throw from both sides.
It was so noticeable it was ridiculous. Towelling down then most were foul throws with players encroachment onto the pitch.
It’s a throw in both should be the same.
 
This I think it’s at least the 5th time now for Forest to complain

But there doesn’t seem to be anything contraversial from the City game
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.

Whose shirt ? Gibbs white ? He was the one who was initially grabbing the City player

Did they also complain about the studs tackle on Fodens knee ?

Or the challenge of Milenkovic

Dias was lucky to not get second yellow but then the Forest player was throwing himself to the floor and he should have been given a yellow for waving the imaginary card
