[Football] Wigan v Man City

[*Gullsworth*]

Pep has completely lost the plot.....oh dear

 

[Stat Brother]

BBC absolutely bottled that footage.

God forbid they showed the managers acting like thugs.

Pep acting like a **** as always. Thought it was a red from the start. Dangerous tackle, out of control, studs up. Ref however was weak in that he got the yellow out and then changed his mind to red.

Clever histrionics from the Wigan bench and team trying to unsettle Citeh. It is a nasty challenge but the ref has definitely been influenced there.

On a positive note. Good half from Walton.

There are empty seats behind the Man City goal so am guessing it's not a sell out.

It looks far from a sell out but a decision had to be taken at the start to block off that number of seats so seems a shame that they couldnt even aspire to a sell out.

BBC absolutely bottled that footage.

My thoughts exactly, would have loved them to show the tunnel antics.

This. What a dreadful decision. Probably worse than Mike Dean at Boro. Awful.

How can that be worse? ramirez lost his leg, didn't he?

 

[Weststander]

Well the 'Will Griggs is on fire' song is universal in those parts.
Man Utd version: 'Will Ryan Giggs get fired
Palace version: 'Our local Greggs is on fire'

 

[Eeyore]

I thought he was going to change that. With those players around him I had a vision of The Complete And Utter Shyster appear in front of me...

I wonder why Pep has gone for the home manager.

 

[banjo]

Makes a change the little team gets a decision. Come on Wigan.

That's why it is worse. It's identical except to say in this instance there isn't even a superficial blood injury for the Wigan players to scream about.

Another negative against VAR/how it’s used.

How can you have it for some games and not for others in the same cup?

I’m certain VAR would have over turned that.

They want to watch it first.
Not brave enough to just let it play out.

He is miked up, could have been influenced by the lino. Looked a harsh decision but he did go flying in so many refs would have give it. (In real time)

The BBC have spent last 25 years sniffily refusing to show pitch invaders, streakers, crowd trouble, tunnel scuffles.

They really are pompous.

 

[portslade seagull]

Couple of good saves by Walton

 

[albionfan37]

I wish we’d drawn city/Wigan now

My thoughts exactly, would have loved them to show the tunnel antics.

They did show it. Pep grabbing hold of Cook for starters.

 

[seagulls4ever]

Looks like his studs went into the Power's shins at high speed, but need to see a better replay.

Don’t get the love in for Pep, he’s a cheque book manager on steroids.

I wonder what job he will take next? PSG or Celtic
