IFAB, what a waste of time. How many times have we seen the opposition players foul City players and not get carded and then Ant and his mates issue a weak yellow for perfect tackles even - Now "Blue Card" City players for nothing , into the sin bin. Stupid idea. Another attempt at slowing down the juggernaut.

Its pathetic but it goes hand in hand with whats happening with the powers that be - they are being allowed to do whatever they want to do and everyone just seems to accept it.

Blue cards ? What the ABSOLUTE fuck !!!

Indeed. They should be looking to improve the shit-show that is VAR and make sure that all the calls are "correct. " When these blue cards are trialed there will be a team that suffers more than most and coincidentally we play in blue. Utter fucking nonsense

On that basis the dippers, rags and arse should get the most red cards and we know that doesn't happen.
All this blue card sin bin will do is have 10 men sitting on the edge of their own area for the 10 minutes or whatever. It'll make it a lot more boring.

[john68]

it seems the idiots who now control our game are moving quickly into turning our sport into a sterile over regulated sort of game show.

I quite like the thought of extra cards....maybe red and green ones with reindeers and a pic of Santa for the Xmas games. Then we could have brown cards made from real chocolate with little bunnies on it for Easter games.
IFAB have along way to go yet.

The most expensive EVER in europe and still in the shadow of their noisy neighbours from a nearby borough. Little old City - the excuse for your clubs failings as it says on the flag

Yesterday was the 8th time this season the rags have conceded at least 20 attempts on their goal in a game

Doubt we've had more than a couple in Peps whole time

Ill Put this here, as this is where this fucking belongs

The selection of the 28-year-old ahead of Stones on Saturday has been defended by Guardiola ahead of a midweek meeting against Brentford, with the Manchester City manager describing his decision as “normal.”

“There are players that take their rhythm more quickly, but Manu (Akanji) was injured for two, three, four weeks,” said the City boss.“I rely a lot on Manu, he’s an incredible player and I will decide who plays, that’s all. "Manu played really, really good (against Chelsea)

Just read how much Akanji enjoys playing in midfield on the OS definitely something Pep is encouraging so we can expect to see more of it. Rico undoubtedly is a better footballer for this position but at present he lacks the physicality

If PeP wants to fuck around then why cant he do it against weaker teams and not teams like Chelsea FFS!

Against top teams you HAVE to play your stronger side in their natural positions....is it any wonder we haven't beaten any of the top 5 teams this season with his continuous fuckign around.

You will get no arguments from me on that. I get that the loss of Grealish is causing us an issue out wide but leave the rest of it alone. I do trust Pep to stick to the best 11 for the biggest games but the biggest games won't matter if we spunk points on shit like Saturday

In other words We've not got the money to build our own stadium so please can the taxpayer fund it? They forget there is already one or more stadia capable of doubling up as the national stadium of the north.

BBC: “Would it help if Man City were found guilty of the 115 breaches they are accused of?”.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: “I would not wish that upon them. I just want to smash them on the football field”.

It’s simply laughable. And the most ridiculous part of it is that he isn’t at yet getting ridiculed for it in the media. They are just going along with it. Not even asking how he can justify it even

Radcliffe “born in Manchester” according to the BBC - as Manc as I am born in Bury..

He keeps referring to the regeneration of Manchester when talking about Salford - why has no one pointed out to him it’s part of the county Greater Manchester, it’s not part of Manchester city.

I've not seen this before. Found it quite amusing.
