The 10 blokes in attendance booing Sterling like he's the CL anthem.
,

Booing Jackson there as well, seriously :lol: Chelsea should've had 3 goals this game at least, that might yet come back to bite them. I don't watch City play often, but there's so many empty patches in their crowd.

No, because some things require a degree of subjectivity. Not everything is a factual yes or no decision.

That particular decision you can make arguments for and against it like many other incidents in football. Different people interpret things differently…
I take your general point but he sticks his foot in and trips Sterling while throwing himself to the ground. If you think penalties should be given for nonsense like this, we don't have much to say to each other.

The contact he initiated by shoving his foot into Sterling's path for no reason other than an attempt to con the ref into giving a pen you mean?
Nonsens. He is clearly kicked. I'm far from ManCity fan but that was penalty. We know how a certain club from Merseyside would get penalties for this. And if not, media would be talking about this for weeks.

Chelsea really should reward themselves with all those chances. Very wasteful; like against Spurs.

He’s putting his foot out to protect the ball and gets kicked.

In that video, Walker's leg comes across Sterling's natural run. It's not a penalty. Walker initiates the contact. Walker is the only one extending his leg.

Walker initiates the contact by sticking his leg out, sterling does nothing but naturally run in the direction of the ball, never a pen.
