boadle Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Maybe someone with some spare time can put together a bloopers reel of all the recent dodgy decisions against us, and overdub Niges rant. Instant virality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question was was there not an infringement or foul which, led to the flag going up and the referee momentarily distracted ? Possibly but I don’t remember that happening.

They've not included the bit about the letter re the Hull game and sort of given the impression it was all about the sending off last night. Thought that was v. poor (though perhaps not totally unexpected from Sky). Yet again an 'expert' commenting with no actual knowledge. Ex-players get employed because they are ex-players not because they are knowledgable. It's extraordinary how many of them seem to have learned nothing from their career or are incapable of communicating what they have learned. Of course doing research on the club you are talking about is too much like hard work as well. Edited August 17, 2022 by chinapig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if they actually do their research and have a look at our penalty stats and apology letter situation, but perhaps I hope for too much.

ExiledAjax Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 If you're looking for professional coverage of this from someone informed about our club, then City fan Paul Watson discusses it for a minute or two on Guardian Football Weekly. He is such a fan that he simply refers to City as "we" and "us" to the extent that Glendenning has to clarify the team at the end of the segment. https://www.theguardian.com/football/series/footballweekly At about 41:20 minutes in. No particularly new angle on it, but it's someone who gets it and can accurately place it in context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think that NP is 100% correct about terrible decisions such as giving or not giving a penalty decision or a sending off decision. You can work as hard as you like, get the best players available, build a team and club only for an ineffectual ref or linesman to eff it all up. The Championship works on such incredibly fine margins around both the play off positions and the relegation positions. Any number of points lost in one game can be the difference between a crack at the Prem for some or the trap door to L1 for others. I'm pleased he said it and hope it leads to something more than a footnote on Skysports. However, the comments about chucking the towel in at BCFC as a result is unsettling and does nothing to help those of us who have question marks about Nige's position at our club. Every time I start seeing NP through @Davefevsglasses, the bloody lenses fall out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfair, on a good week on Match of the Day he is remarkably, um, dull and uninformative. A master of stating the bleeding obvious in fact.

Daniro Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thought last night was very exciting and a sustained glimpse of what NP has been promising for what seems like a very, very long time - so I'm delighted. Great to see the new players performing so well and for the likes of Nakhi and Zak to show what they are capable of. Very encouraging I do find arguments about refs very circular. Refs weren't any better or worse before - what has happened is that every decision is now recorded for everyone to pore over ad infinitum. In the old days you just forgot about it. Yes it is statistically possible that 80000 Chelsea fans are right and that one particular ref has made an unusually high number of decisions against Chelsea. But anything is statistically possible in an expanding universe. Surely nobody really thinks that a ref would deliberately set out to do it? And banging on about it and signing petitions is only likely to put pressure on him and make him more likely to make unconsciously biased decisions. And yes, we may have had more bad decisions against us this season , but that's always going to happen to some club. SH1t happens. Maybe we've had fewer pens than any other team. Really - are they all ganging up on us? That's so mean. Diddums. Move on. I even think that if a ref proves to make more mistakes than others he should still play the whole season so all teams get subjected to the same below par reffing. Unfair to drop them until everybody has suffered! Poor refereeing is like life. We all have bad days and sh1tty times. With performances like last night, I think we can all now hope for some good days at last and we won't be relying on refereeing decisions to keep us happy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t clumsy or ‘professional’, it was clearly malicious and with forceful intent. A horrible tackle, compounded by his feigning a head injury after too. He might be our player, but if that was an opposition player he’d be getting pelters, so we should call it out. Horrible tackle, with intent, and faking a head injury. Not a good look Mr Sykes. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm, Interesting that you took a straw poll of thousands of observers, you must be exhausted?.....not so sure about Pearson saying it was a sending off? Find me the quote or video and i will check it out? Anyhow we can play Ping Pong forever? i say it was an absurd over reaction by an over zealous referee, you say it was a terrible tackle that deserved a red card? Let's' just agree to disagree.......even though i am quite obviously in the right! Ha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
