Re: Confused

What do you think Packs reasoning was for putting his hands on the WBA players shoulders while he was on the turn-Massage?

I doubt reasoning came into it. It was a stupid thing to do. In most cases the ref would have given a penalty. But Pack didn't foul him, didn't make him fall over, and the double somersault with pike surely deserved some sort of award?

The post-match ref assessment report will be X rated!

Re: Confused

I s’pose they’ve every right to complain about the penalty incident but had their goal been correctly chalked off the game would have taken a different course. It would have been restarted with a free kick to us rather than a centre spot kick off. All ifs, ands and buts but the wrong decision re. their goal changed the whole format and subsequent scenarios. If the officials had done their job the penalty incident, as it was, wouldn’t have occurred.

Exactly, there's this weird false equivalence going on as if a goal being wrongly awarded and a penalty being awarded are the same. Had the ref/linesman done his job properly and not allowed their goal then the penalty incident wouldn't have happened.

Impeded him i would say, although it depends on how much that Impediment caused the WBA player a problem in staying on his feet, not much i would've thought although pack putting his hands on him certainly wouldn't have helped his cause. I reckon that Pack was a lucky boy and the ref didn't fancy it. I'm grateful :thumbup:

Quite correct though.

Indeed. And from the free kick that wasn't awarded for offside until the end of the game, literally anything could have happened. City could have held on to win, West Brom could have equalised later on, or the Baggies could have gone on to win. Who knows?

What we do know is that West Brom were awarded a goal that shouldn't have stood and City got away with one in injury time.

We could've lost 6-1 or won 5-2

All due to the officials’ ineptitude.

Do refs really think like that? Would it matter one iota to that ref yesterday if he had given a penalty? What would have happened? Morison would have complained, we would all be up in arms and the press would report it was a controversial ending at West Brom where the hosts continued their search for promotion.
