[b]Was Arsenal Versus Manchester City Fixed? Arsenal have suffered repeatedly from a refereeing bias against their interests in the Premier League over the last decade. Year after year the Londoners are at the bottom of the hierarchy when the tilt in match decisions is assessed. These biases don't even out over a season or over time. Wenger is aware of these machinations. But Saturday's match between Arsenal and Manchester City perfectly demonstrated the critical need for the implementation of video technology and the option of managers challenging refereeing decisions. This match saw some very very suspicious betting patterns in the 90 minutes leading up to kick off. For the people behind this trading, the gamble was landed as the match was drawn. But, in reality, the match should have been a victory for the Mancunians - there were evident fouls leading up to both of Arsenal's goals and City should have been given a penalty for Jack Wilshere's handball. 2-2 becomes 0-3. The inability of Mark Clattenburg, his assistants and 4th Official Jonathan Moss to correctly call these incidents made the game a spectacular farce - great to watch but nothing to do with the integrity of the game and with insiders making considerable money into the bargain. Hearing that poisoned dwarf Danny Murphy defending the officials on Match of the Day would have had more resonance if Murphy wasn't linked with Moss via professional gambling football agent John Colquhoun. Arsenal have been denied titles in recent years due to the actions of the PGMOL refereeing body and nothing in this post suggests any wrongdoing on their behalf. But it is disturbing to be in agreement (for the very first time) with Sepp Blatter, managers must be able to challenge erroneous and not-so-erroneous decisions. Otherwise football is just greyhound racing with coloured boots.[/b] http://trichotomoustriptychities..co.uk/2014/09/was-arsenal-versus-manchester-city-fixed.html |

[b]Sins of Clatter Burg against Manchester City: 4 match-changing errors from a so-called top referee all in the favour of one team in a single game. What are the odds on that? The incident when Jack Wilshere handled the ball inside his own penalty area. Whilst some might try and argue that Wilshere’s arm is down by his side in a natural position, there is clear movement of it towards the ball in a deliberate way a penalty that City deserved. “The referee didn’t want to whistle,” Pellegrini said according to Barney Ronay of The Guardian. “There was clearly a foul. Welbeck pushed Kompany, he didn’t have any intention to play the ball. Arsenal scored both goals with fouls. On a normal day we have to win this game.” “I’m sure in the next play that he [Aguero] would be sent off,” Pellegrini fumed according to Jason Burt of The Telegraph. “The referee had given him a yellow. Sergio was very angry and had all the reason to be very angry. He is very strong and does not go diving in.” This brings up the old "interfering with play" chestnut! Nasri was undoubtedly offside when Dzeko shot - but by any standards - since he was not in the keeper's line of sight and did not have to make any movement to avoid the player or the ball- was not interfering with play. Since the ball struck the keeper and rebounded to Nas , then that would have made him active and since the ball was last played by an opponent before it came to him , he was onside.[/b] |

tshegs19: Story for the gods ohIs it not crazy that so many decisions (match changing) went in favour of Arsenal and none in favour of Man City? Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini was right to complain about some decisions in Arsenal draw but he must settle his differences with referee Mark Clattenburg http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2755213/Manchester-City-boss-Manuel-Pellegrini-right-complain-decisions-Arsenal-draw-settle-differences-referee-Mark-Clattenburg.html |
