  1. Who's the penalty taker with Wells on the bench, not that one will be needed!
  2. When the ref is giving the players anything ie penalties, how much does this affect the team?
  3. Is it just basic ball control or is it that Rotherham want this more than us?
  4. Shoulf they replay all the games where they have benefitted from a decision? Also in cup games where there is var at pl grounds but not at others which the FA insist is fair?
  5. Perhaps they need to be consistant then as they usually flag when an opposition player falls over when we're getting near to their penalty area. Again that's why it would help to hear what they're.saying.
  6. City would be replaying 20 games every season!
  7. I was mystified in the Stoke match when fouls right in front of the linesmen on either weren't even flagged. Are some referees so arrogant that they don't want any interferance from their assistants? (Yes I know that they're all above board according to some on otib!)
  8. Hope Russia won't get around it by renaming the team as in other sports. Whatever the sport or name they're still funded by the government.
  9. Surprised that Mark Ashton hasn't got Portman Road selected as a midlands venue!
  10. When a player has their heel clipped it's usually a free kick. I've said before that a player renowned for "winning" penalties will be awarded them by the officials without a moments thought. The match officials supposedly talk to each other, perhaps they could release the conversations. Sometimes the linesmen appear to be frightened to do anything!
  11. There's knowing it and admitting it. Being a bit more humble would help.
  12. I take your point but most clubs will suffer one way or another over the course of the season and to be fair it was mentioned in the media that Wolves had suffered a dubious decision playing against Manchester utd.
  13. Pgmol this morning apologises to Liverpool for VAR not intervening when the referee disallowed a goal yesterday. This was after intervening to convert a yellow card into a red card. It doesn't change the result though or give a consolation point to the aggrieved team. Yes I know that not everyone on otib follows Liverpool but we at City complain about a referee who can determine the validity of a penalty appeal from the halfway line but completely misses a foul/handball right in front of him. Whether it be incompetence, lack of concentration or even the suspicion of favouring some teams more than others there has to be some accountability by the officials. Heaven help that the result of a seasons hard work could be determined not by the footballers but by the lack of quality match and VAR officials.
  14. Their hearts say 138 points, their heads say 30 - 70!
  15. What's not been mentioned so far is how the media "rate" clubs. Leeds for example were big in the 70's and whether they're in the PL or league one they will still be the "chosen clubs". Also how many televised matches they get.
