Fair to say the officials didn't want to upset the Stockport masses today.

Huddersfield are another team worthy of relegation

Officials got both of those decisions spot on. Very good officiating as each was difficult to get right for different reasons.

Some great goals by City today. Really annoying seeing teams lose before they even kick a ball against City though. We have shown 3 out of 4 times last season if you attack them you win.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so why didnt you bother attacking them last time?

Another dodgy decision. They don't need bloody help chaps.

So bitter

How was Kompany not sent off, poor officiating that.

I thought it was a terrible referee display all round. he didnt look fit enough.
he also missed a lot for us. not that dyche would admit it.
Kompany was a red, so was a bad challenge on fernandinho. maybe by Hendricks cant remember exactly who.
Yes the ball did go out of play for the 2nd, but it is a penalty he clearly clips sane as he is about to shoot.

Vk deffo should have seen red no doubt about it.

Sane was lucky too he shouldn’t have kicked out.

Milner that should have been a penalty for handball.

Ok I've just watched it again and it's closer than I thought. Tough one to call.

I was trying to work out if the striker's shoulder was offside but it's close. One of them where the striker could be given the benefit of the doubt.

Pool let off with another cast iron penalty, Michael Oliver has referred 3 of Pool`s 9 games this season and failed to award a blatant penalty to Huddersfield, failed to award a blatant penalty to Spurs and gifted Pool a penalty for a Salah dive away at Palace with the game evenly poised at 0-0.

That`s 6 additional points Oliver has had a hand in for Pool, through his `benefit of doubt refereeing`.

VAR can`t come quick enough.

Shut up.

Not to mention the two other penalties City were denied at Klanfield a couple of weeks before, so there is another point Pool gained that they did not deserve.

That`s 7 points more than they should have, and all thanks to the Pool loving referees.

Get big Sam back

Why, he’s got a point, Liverpool should have conceded a penalty for handball.
