southvillekiddy Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Can we assume that to right a heinous wrong, the pattern will continue and we will automatically be awarded a penalty every game, including at the FA Cup final, until the end of the season. According to my calculations that makes 17 penalties. Which neatly makes it a penalty a game - 13 in the League and 4 in the FA Cup. Making up for the infamous "500 days of hurt" suffered by our club when we didn't get any. Not much to ask? After all in the past we've had special arrangements made for certain Clubs eg. "Fergie Time" when the officials let injury time go on and on until Manure got a winner?

We probably didn't do it for 498 days. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there was financial incentives attached, the press would call it City's PayPal.....and then we'd be awarded even more penalties of a different kind! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show (if we were in any doubt) that Referees are flesh and blood like the rest of us and all they need is to experience is a bit of "uman feelin" coming their way - letters from abroad, cards and presents at Christmas, pictures of us on holiday with our kids, a kindly word from the terraces and then they will follow one another's example with a weekly dose of penalties coming our way.

I think the start at one point was that we'd had most touches inside the opponents area outside the top three? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
