Just to take one single decision, if he had got it right and sent Luiz off, do you think Chelsea would have won 3-1? I don't.
I am sorry, mate, but the man is a red. Not impartial. It is as simple as that. He should never, ever have refereed us before and should never ever referee Manchester City games again. I seriously question the integrity of those who put him in charge as well as his.But when he does, and knowing the FA it will probably be the arsenal game, he needs to get things right or he will be in serious danger of his life from some pissed-up, pissed-off Blue who has had decades of this shit, from alf grey and beyond.
Just so it is clear. We are not rag filth asking for favours. We want things right so it is a fair game of football both sets of players, both sets of fans and the neutrals can all enjoy. It is supposed to be entertainment and fun. I don't know about any of you lot but I haven't enjoyed a City match purely as a football match for years because of the likes of marriner, jones and taylor. Even the few other Premier league games have been ruined/fixed (delete as appropriate) by very dodgy refereeing. Stoke v Southampton for example. It is taking the joy away from football and I despise them all for it.
It never used to be quite as bad as this in the past because it was a lot more random, as mistakes generally are. But now this PiGMOB (or whatever they are called) have got hold of it, the role of officials is FIFA-like in its murkiness.
I would like to hear the recordings of the communication among the officials for that match. Including the ones off the field. Easiest thing in the world to do an mp3 of it. Rugby and cricket can manage such transparency. There is only one reason football doesn't and you saw it Saturday lunchtime.
Your right leg I like; I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is neither have you.
