Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[Saint Domingo]

I will say the consistency on booking players for blocking free kicks is nonexistent so really tough to get sent off for it

Thought you were a massive advocate for the rules of the game? At least you were when Everton players are being sent off or denied penalties

 

[Amokachi1995]

Wish I could like a comment more than once, absolutely spot on.

Against Arsenal, Townsend tried to draw attention to it by playing the ball at the guy stood there. Mike Riley the pecker just played on.

I am mate. I would love to see those called every single time.

But they aren't. And so it isn't really fair when you decide this is the 1 in 100 times you're going to so you can send someone off.

The refereeing is an absolute mess, but if you're refereeing on precedent you can't go letter of the law to totally change the game every now and again.

You'll never, ever, see that as a red against the RS or any other non "big six" team for that matter.

With every game that passes and every dodgy decision its clear the scab six teams have most of the refs on their payrolls.

But you were exactly in favour of doing just that the other week. There was a huge inconsistency, a call that barely ever gets given, but you said that the rules of the game are the rules. They’re the rules so off he goes.

Mate I'm not even sure exactly what we're talking about here so I'm going to dive back into some Thiago videos before the big match in a little.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Did Grealish always take this many unnecessary touches?

 

[EverTheOptimist]

It's amazing after 10 years of constant success City still struggle to sell out home games.

Mansour and the City heirachy must be scratching their heads.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Book him please

Pep doesn't exactly play exciting football. They score a ton because their 8th best attacker would be an automatic starter for like 16 teams in the league.

But still you would want to watch your team playing winning football, teams who struggled for decades sell out games why don't City.

It was the same with Mancini and Pellegrini, lots of empty seats on show.

They were advertising corporate seats last week for this game for £59.

Typical RS, cant say anything good abt any other club bar yaselves. Its the team on the pitch that counts not the amount of fans you have. And City by far a better team to watch than you gobshites.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Amazing how few penalties City get

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

They were doing it to us all match in the Derby. Likewise arsenal the other night. Just waved on.

Exactly why I'd like to see referees cracking down on it, but with consistency by booking the likes of Thiago not just "smaller" clubs players.

I can see why for a casual City fan going a game against Wolves to watch some tippy tappy with maybe a goal or two wouldn't get them out.
