90 min +2: That must be a penalty! Stones on Sterling! Roger East says no! Unbelievable!
90 min + 3: Final seconds here, but surely that was a penalty? It looked a clear trip!

As much as the holistic approach has been good, it's about time we started complaining very loudly.
It's beyond a bleeding joke now!!!!

You have a point, but that was just too blatant not to have been given. There is no way a player can fo down like that intentionally. You need quite a lot of impact sideways to fall with your legs moving sideways in the air and you body turning when your motion is forward and at high speed.

If Soccs has a point then perhaps you can explain to me Noolie why Sterling was the second most fouled player in the PL last season whilst "going down softly" yet now he's in a City shirt he doesn't get the same decisions in his favour? and he's not even in the ten most fouled players?
There was a free awarded to them toward the end of the game when Pienaar went down with Sagna at his back, ref had no hesitation blowing his whistle yet if that had been Sterling it'd be ignored and you'd have City fans giving out about Sterlng going down easily. It's fucking ridiculous.

In fairness to the ref OD. If he was bent, he's had two opportunities to give them a penalty and rightly, hasn't fallen for either.
Demichelis hand ball for a corner. Shamak booked fir diving.
