The league are desperate for City not to win it again as they dont want another Bayern/PSG scenario.

Corrupt.

 

[GP_Monty]

Have Sky been told not to analyze the Hooper decision?

Further evidence of corruption?

They've just spent at least 10 minutes analysing it.

 

[jazzy]

I did wonder about that too, but in that case wait for the linesmen

Mate it is inexplicable, especially when you hear that he only whistled when he saw that Grealish was clear.

He's either been paid off or is so incompetent that he should never ref another game

 

[TyphooToffee]

Seems very var fetched to me.

Why don’t they do this every year then?

Fixed that for you

 

[GP_Monty]

Simon Hooper is an awful referee, should've been relegated ages ago.

Well 5 but yeah .....and it gets worse when you know when he whistled

 

[Charro]

You’re all mental.

If he was paid off he'd not have played advantage.

 

[Nasseline]

I'm pretty sure what happened was that the referee immediately blew for a free kick, and when he saw that Haaland kicked the ball before it layed still, he had to cancel the attack because of a wrongly taken free kick.

Corrupt.

Nobody has won four titles in a row - the RS infested media would find it difficult to stomach another team achieving something they couldn't.

He waved play on

No…He literally motions to play on for advantage and then calls it back after the ball is played and Grealish is through. Unless you have dog level hearing and heard a whistle no one else did, it just looks like yet another high profile blunder from an incompetent and/or corrupt set of officials.

 

[GP_Monty]

Well 5 but yeah .....and it gets worse when you know when he whistled

He's a dreadful ref him, looked as though he was looking towards the sidelines in a panic.

 

[PhilM]

Disagree mate decisions like that the referee needs surrounding.

Nah, I'm a serious advocate of bringing some form of discipline and respect to the game, like with rugby. Referees make mistakes, but scenes like that don't help.

The fourth official looked mortified
