If anyone can cite a refereeing mistake that City have been on the wrong side of in the last 15 years please shout. One that has been costly.

I really donāt want another lenghty pointless discussion on this, as my views are clear for many years.
Iām not rehashing old comments or arguments in a vain attrmpt to make you or anyone else agree with me. It would lead to rancour and I am not going there.
I have suggested you look back at the posts @jaffod has on the topic, his documentation is much better than I could possibly do. Or alternatively look at the evidence, agree or disagree as presented by Paul Tompkins. And yes, his views though biased, are compelling.
Other clubs donāt interest me. Arsenal supporters whining about refs is a nonsense, considering the latitude shown to them on set pieces for example. And how either sets of Manc fans could complain is beyond me.
Iām more interested in Liverpool, and in what happens when certain officials are on our matches.
Chris Kavanagh last Sunday was special, wasnāt he? Look at that, cold light of day, in a balanced manner and tell me Iām wrong?
With all due respects, Iāve done all this before, I donāt need to do it again.

Thatās okay. I can imagine many repetitive arguments/discussions. I think in a lot of issues , the issue remains because people who have evidence or belief of wrong doing, they dpnāt get together and discuss. Like a bigamist relies heavily on two wives never meeting. In football, corruption could well rely upon tribalism.
Have a good day, pal

What do you think of the appointment of Brooks as ref for the Brentford game? He was banned from reffing Liverpool for a year after his controversial decisions. I donāt know why they keep doing this after the problem free match in Europe why arenāt we allowed to enjoy a game without getting shafted?

Amazing stuff, and example of how little value the KMI Panel has

Possible Dogso in the brighton game that the ref rejects. VAR recommends an overturn and after going to the screen the ref agrees and gives the red. The league over turn the suspension saying it shouldnt have been a red card, and now the KMI panel report agreement with the VAR.

Anywhere else on the pitch, Isaak getting his shirt pulled results in a foul.
Theyāre not even trying to hide their dodgy decisions now.

Madley and Atwell is pretty much the nightmare combination for us. There was not a chance we were getting anything today with those two.

The Cheaters moaning yesterday they should have had two blatant penalty calls in their game and that the referee screwed them over, then this todayā¦ makes you wonder whether the PL are determined Arteta and his bunch of Yahooās, would be a better winning candidate for the PL this season, rather than give the Cheaters a chance to embarrass them further by finishing 1st.

Cityās claims are baseless. One of them came from an attempted clearance from another defender, and there an explicit instruction for refs to not penalize those situations. The other was from the ball deflecting on to Dunkās arm after blocking a cross legally with his torso. That isnt as explicitly excluded from being a handball, but it there is massive mitigation given for it.
In contrast, we got fucking robbed.

Has anybody from the club come out and highlighted yet another incident of us being fucked over?
Has anybody from the club asked why the VAR didnāt pick up on it and ask the ārefereeā to review it?
If the answer to these 2 questions is ānoā itās because the club is fucking spineless from top to bottom and we will continue to be cheated by these fucking corrupt cunts.

Iraola said that there is little left but for our players to dive to demand fouls because that is what the refs and VAR and now requiring from us.
Virgil when asked when if players have more of a responsibility to appeal or go down pointed out there are 50 cameras. He then also pointed out that the fact he is being asked about the controversy is proof that the cameras caught it and shouldnāt have needed a player to dive to draw attention to it
