Am I the only one sick of city's 80/20 ref decisions?

First Bournemouth foul that led to a late winner.
Now this Mane red card which is seriously as Gary said. It is a fucking 50-50.

You want a Klopp player to stop chasing the ball? Might as well ask for Messi to go to Madrid.

I am sick of Guardiola beeing pushed to the top with shitty decisions by refs always benefitting them.

I seriously hope he wins fuck all and he retires as a manager then I can see a clean game without divers and cheating refs played. Barca is still beeing hated by the diving hype he started with them and ofc players like Suarez keep going with it.

Will I get banned again for saying my opinion? I wonder.

@Emo: I like him a lot. Some of his analysis. But not all, and recently its crap.

I have to admit, after he fluck things up at Valencia... His talking doeant work for me anymore. . i have doubt in all his analysis... Its the price to pay you know... Always easier said than done

I cannot take Neville's comments too seriously. He has very little creibility in judging managers when he couldnt even muster up a decent performance as one.

Tuan, its just my opinion but mods shouldnt state when someone got banned or anything like that. Leave all that to their profile wall, at least thats my view on it.

Joze, thats a naive view to think a fan is "plastic" because they never visited the stadium. Some people honestly dont have the luxury of money or time. Anyways, your rants are pretty imature, debate about football, not the memebers of this forum.

@raimondo: thats mostly how we do it, we left lots lots of notes on people's wall, warning, reminds, you name it. Bit Joze created this thread himself, call people out.

From time to time we have to speak out too (although we have internal discussion for some cases).

Kinda late on this but whatevs. High boot = dangerous play and dangerous play = red card. Simple. I know Mane didn't mean it but this is how it goes man. Just cause something was not intentional doesn't make it un-cardable if that's a word lol

A simple don't go off topic please helps much more.

Once or twice, yes. But afterwards, no. The section of the comment was totally irrelevant. It happens a lot though, tbh. Oh well.

Yeah, like when Sterling got a red card for celebrating a goal.

Everyone else has already said it, but yes, Mane's kick was obviously a red.

@Lodatz Sterling actually got a yellow for celebrating his goal. Just fyi

I had forgotten that, actually. Still, same point.

Welcome back lodatz, how are you going ? Glad to see you back.

That was actually a dive, EDerson should have been given a yellow for simulation...

And it's all Pep's fault, he mentally influenced the ref by voodoo magic. A disgrace.

@tiki Damn that must have hurt. :(

Mané got 3 match suspension for his faul...while Ronaldo for protesting against the ref got 5...I guess it matters what league it is and who you play against...

@Golazo, dont try to twist the situation. Ronaldo got the 5 game suspension for pushing a ref, if he has as much as even hit the ref he could have been suspended for life. Not for protesting the call. And Mane's foul was an accident, he didnt deliberaly go out of his way to kick him in the face.

It's facts. 3 games suspension for a brutal faul but 5 games for protesting against the ref.

@Golazo Said brutal foul wasn't intentional by the way. Still doesn't change the fact you cannot act aggressive toward a ref, protesting is one thing but making a direct physical action against is much worse. Remember which one Ronaldo did, it wasn't protesting, it was a push, no matter how big or how small it was, it doesn't matter, ref represent the authority figure in a football game, you cannot act violent toward the authority figure.

@Emo the push is somehow more brutal than what Mané did? Ok. But I think that 3 match ban is either not enough or Ronaldo's 5 match ban is too much.

Too much hypocrite here Golazo, you would find any chance to bash Messi, on anything. And saying stuffs Ronaldo did doesn't deserve it? By law yes. Both are well deserved!

However, I thought Ronaldo's ban was harsh too, 3 games would be nice, same with Messi for prior incident (mind that Messi's charge was in more crucial time). But I wouldn't complain much, because both are fined by rule!

@Golazo surely you didn't want to change the club to Real Madrid?

Intentionally touching a ref in a hostile manner is considered worse than unintentionally fouling another player in red card fashion. That's just the way it is. Mainly these rules are in place to protect the ref as he is often on the wrong side of players for the decisions he has to make. Beside the fact that Mane's foul was unintentional while Ronaldo clearly meant to push the ref.

Did you just said too much hypocrite and mentioned Messi here for no reason and then just agreed with my own opinion in the end? When Messi got 4 match ban for saying something to the ref I was clearly saying that 4 match ban is too harsh, in fact I can compare here his case vs Mané as well just to even further enforce my opinion roflmao
Think first before you write you look like there are two minds writing your comment, and yes both were fined by rule that doesn't make it good enough now does it...

surely you didn't want to change the club to Real Madrid?

Why would I, because I think that a real foul should have bigger consequences compared to some protection of bureaucracy? Lucky you that the player injured is not Petr Cech otherwise you would be ashamed to admit that you're on my side on this one.

Yes dude, that's what I'm against. God forbid that a ref got pushed he is above humanity itself, but a young goal keeper that could have had some serious brain damage lol who cares he's just another player after all that incident is clearly not seen as dangerous as protesting against the very representation of the corruption in football...
