Oliver used to be alright in our games. I can't remember the last time that was the case though. And atwell. Has he been out the game? I'm sure he used to ref us a lot. I don't really much remember him being involved in our games. 

[sir roger]

At least Coote isn't anywhere where he can shaft us, other than snitching on Jurgen

[Bellflower]

Atwell got demoted because of some dreadful VAR cock ups.....

[Shitty Arse]

Oliver has been a fucking cunt lately. Don’t like him at all.

Webb needs to be asked why it's okay for his PL refs to go on jollys over to Abu Dhabi, all expenses paid by invitation from City's owners.

 

How this isn't more of thing in the news I'll never know.

Mmmm, so punishment for being shit on VAR is being asked to be VAR on the biggest game of the season so far? I wish I'd become a ref.

It’s fucking scandalous. It beggars belief that there is no mention of it anywhere in the mainstream media.

It seemed a number of journalists were asking questions when it was flagged after the spurs debacle. And then Webb said he'd reviewed the practice and said "nothing to see here" and everyone has just accepted it. I think the bottom line is, nobody wants to be the one championing the issue of conflict of interest, which in turn, questions the integrity of referees, because I think the general English fan base don't want to believe it is possible. 

[Carra_is_legend]

Arse twitching now. 

 

Come on redmen, most important game this season, don't let us down.

We seem to have an issue with most refs at the moment according to our fans. 

 

What would actually be the ideal line up of refs and assistants? I genuinely have no idea. 

[Allan]

Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. City. The ref. PGMOL. Arteta. And every other Lego headed cunt.

 

Up Jurgen's mighty fucking Reds!

[Bobby Hundreds]

We  cant afford our usual slow dodgy start to games.

[TheBitch]

Hypothetically…

 

What happens if we get a pen today… (I know I know) 

 

Who takes it?

Oliver at least makes his own decisions, he appears to me to hate the idea of VAR. He was far and away the best ref in the league until 18 months ago. Probably coincides with trips to Abu Dhabi. The fact he failed to send off Kovavic against Arsenal is probably a good thing, he can't be seen to that dodgy again.

This plus a dodgy ref looks a minor indiscretion compared with the fact a club who are blatantly cheating have been hoovering all the trophies up for 10 years.

 

Which incidentally also doesn't get much airtime in the media.

[Reckoner]

Just seen Arsenal are top of the league. The cheeky fucking cunts. I feel violated.

[Bobby Hundreds]

More refereeing controversy we've lost two league titles where if refs had done their jobs properly in games against City we may of won the league. Also 115 being the tip of the ice berg you cheating glory stealing bastards. The second they stopped complying with the league they should of been kicked out of it and reapply when they show their workings. Fuck City they have won nothing just voided it all.

Ideally our officials should be fucked off to Germany or Spain and send theirs over here. I genuinely believe it would solve a lot of grief .

 Wouldn’t be too expensive either, as there are very cheap connecting flights via Abu Dhabi.
