sne Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Ref clearly showing advantage and then blows when City have a man through on goal. Just pathetic from the ref. Think it might been offside if VAR looked at it but that was awful from the ref Rather City would have won that but at least Spurs didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also takes some of the shine from our draw today, as at least it meant us gaining a point on Spurs, but now looks like we're going to lose that. Actually I think Spurs will probably win their next two, by which time they could well be four points ahead of us. It's also terrible in the sense that Man City rarely have two bad results in a row, so will make Wednesday's game even harder now. I prefer the draw personally keeps points tighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyman Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think Grealish was onside, but he's also remarkably good at hitting the keeper when clean through on his own 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at a crisis level. Maybe time for some women and non-white men. They'd know they would be under more scrutiny and have less room for error. Maybe that's what it takes for an improvement!

It's what I don't get, he makes the right decision and then for some reason changed it. In our game, the ref made the right decision to award the free kick, then somehow doesn't do the next bit in giving the second yellow, just because. Utterly bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Refs blowing up early, linesmen incorrectly flagging when the ball hasn't gone out. It's like they're desperate to stop goal scoring opportunities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 3, 2023 Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2023 I have a feeling he's accidentally half-blown his whistle too early, then played the advantage, realised he'd already blown and had to bow to stop it. If you watch him, he initially puts the whistle to his mouth to give the foul, then plays the advantage, then stops play by blowing - I wonder be too surprised if a little peep crept out the first time he put the whistle to his mouth and he then felt he had to stick with the decision.

Desperate to not make match deciding calls so they make a bunch of calls that (potentially) decides the games. Not sure it's all due to VAR but refs seem to lack confidence and are somehow worse than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can, sure, but if I were betting on the outcome I'd probably go with one point over the two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
