I feared the worst when I heard he was reffing this game. Clearly has a thing for us and looking at our results with him reffing sure makes that idea plausible.
Depends if there was enough for the usual three. Only one goal and a few subs in the second half so perhaps not.He demonstratively pointed to his watch to say that he was noticing their time-wasting in the 73rd minute. So for that, plus the standard subs, plus injuries, to add up to one minute on top of the usual three is weird.
Can’t understand how he books Herrera for diving but not Jesusfecking useless inconsistent shit twat, if this wasn't football he'd be out of a job after the piss poor decisions he's made this season.
Indeed. Isn't often I complain about referees or even post anymore but this bellend has annoyed me so much I can't help myself.Can’t understand how he books Herrera for diving but not Jesus
And Jesus can kick a players legs out and not get booked, it’s a complete joke
And Sterling committed series of fouls & diving ended up the game without being booked...Can’t understand how he books Herrera for diving but not Jesus

There was 6 subs and one goal in the second half so thats 3 and a half minutes to start with. Then Ederson went down so thats at least another 30 seconds to 1 minute. So basically he added nothing on for Citys time wasting.Depends if there was enough for the usual three. Only one goal and a few subs in the second half so perhaps not.
Man. City played out the four and a half minutes of injury time pretty comfortably. They had three corners in that time.
What I find funny is the commentators are in on it too, they are stating that he’s done well just playing on when Silva stomps a guy and then don’t have any comments when we get booked.Any Sterling committed series of fouls & diving ended up the game without being booked...
One goal which is usually half a minute to a minute, Zlatan sub, Silva sub, Mata sub, Mangala sub. That's two and a half minutes. So say that you notice one team wasting time from minute 73, a minute and a half shouldn't really be enough? Add Ederson's head injury on top of that, de Bruyne going down after Matic's elbow and four minutes come out as very little.Depends if there was enough for the usual three.

Two of those subs came on at half time when play was dead.There was 6 subs and one goal in the second half so thats 3 and a half minutes to start with. Then Ederson went down so thats at least another 30 seconds to 1 minute. So basically he added nothing on for Citys time wasting.
That would be Lukaku.He made some mistakes, for both sides, but nothing too bad.
It certainly wasn't down to Oliver that City won today.
Walker too. Would have been a second yellow. Practically identical to Herrera's as well, where he left his trailing foot in so there was contact. Completely engineered. Yellow for us, nothing for them.How did Ander get a yellow for diving but Jesus gets nothing?
Inconsistency of the highest order today.
Fergie's right...........
Really? He clearly let City keeps on fouling without real punishment. Break our flow, while clearly give City every possible advantage.He didn't really do anything bad today. Even if we had 10 more mins. i doubt we'd win or draw the game. Jesus should have had a yellow, but besides that had a decent game.
Jesus christ. First of all, Silva cannot get two yellow cards during the same stretch. You get one since the play went on, so the second was a freebie so to speak. All football players know this, so don’t try and create new rules. Herrera was booked for a classic case of trailing leg and trying to create something out of nothing. 100% dive and a fair yellow card. Imagine Gerrard doing that against United two years ago, would you stick to your story? Grow up, these incidents were not controversial at all.Once again Oliver fecks us over. Silva gets one yellow card for 2 yellow card offences in the space of 5 seconds, obvious dives by Jesus and Sterling not carded, tactical fouls all not carded several times. Then has the audacity to give a yellow for a 'dive' where Herrera's foot got blocked. Rashford given a yellow for bouncing the ball that didnt even move from the spot where it bounced.
Shocking performance
Fixed.He's got no bottle and he shouldn't be refereeingbiggames.
Fixed.
Sending off a Man. United player at OT for diving (Di Maria) a couple of years ago was one of the bravest (and correct) pieces of reffing I'd seen from someone in the English leagues for a long time. Maybe would've just given the penalty.I feared the worst when I heard he was reffing this game. Clearly has a thing for us and looking at our results with him reffing sure makes that idea plausible.
So every footballer that gets a yellow can yell all kinds of abuse at the ref? Silva told Oliver to feck off. That's a justifiable booking regardless of the circumstances.Jesus christ.

I don't think he's anti-United. I just think he's incompetent.He's the most blatantly anti-United ref I've seen in a long time.
Every important 50:50 decision he gave City's way, and was happy to give United the harmless decisions in and around the halfway line.
This is the big problem, City overstretch themselves when attacking and when we were about to break away they would commit a cynical foul and break up the game and allow themselves to get back. Clear yellow card offences and yet no further punishment was given.Really? He clearly let City keeps on fouling without real punishment. Break our flow, while clearly give City every possible advantage.
