Well, we just got a great result against ManC despite an apparently biased, incompetent referee and we need to complain about something. That was a hard fought game (mostly by us, as we were very aggressive in trying to win the ball) but I appreciated the fact that he let the players play rather than keeping the whistle in his mouth. There were only 15 fouls (9 to us, 6 to them) and two yellows (one each). Guardiola was questioning a lot of calls as well. And at the end one of our players (no doubt O'N) was clearly interfering with a throw but nothing was called. It wasn't a master class in refereeing but it really didn't affect the result and made the game a lot more entertaining than it could have been.

There were 15 fouls because he wasn’t giving fouls. That’s what everyone is complaining about. He wasn’t giving obvious fouls or foul throws. He wasn’t requiring free kicks be taken near the right place.
 
Gillet the worst the prem can get been singing that on the way home

Worst - and most biased - refereeing display I can ever remember seeing. He wasn’t even trying to hide it. Once the “you’re not fit to referee” chant went up he then went even more biased.

Even the north stand bellowed out clearest I’ve ever heard them for a long while 😂

You can argue all you want about fouls given, not given etc but if was biased surely he'd find a way for Man City to win the game?

What you're looking for as a supporter is mainly consistency, so allowing Man City advantage but not giving the same advantage to Sunderland in similar circumstances, or calling fouls against Sunderland but not against City which again appeared similar can be frustrating. Supporters can interpret that as bias, but referees see things from different angles, it's a fast game, referees are only human, they could make mistakes.

How do you explain CONSISTANTLY allowing Man City to take their throws further up the pitch but calling Sunderland back for anything even remotely similar?

Something as small as that, but blatantly obvious from the stands. Would that be a referee not being consistent and demonstrating bias, even if it didn't massively impact the final result?

Missed some clear fouls in the 2nd half and the double handball was frustrating. He missed these because he's a human being and it happens. Calling him a cheat is ridiculous, how does him being a 'cheat' work exactly, is he being payed off the books at Man City or something 🤔

I dont think this is the case but considering their owners and some of the off-season training camps this isnt impossible.
