Here's the red, I think you'd be lucky to get away with anything less than a red for that now

Re: Confused

He's definitely had a bit more of an edge to him recently. I quite like that. He was doing the same against Bournemouth.

He has a tendency to wind opposing players up and he does take a bit of punishment along the way for it. I would trade all of that though for a nice crisp defence splitting pass once a game

Yeah, it's naughty, although vaulks goes in to do him as well

The only drawback being he often winds himself up in the process of winding other players up!

Re: Confused

Having viewed the game just once on the Sky red button (so no replays), I'd say there were three key incidents, two of which went in City's favour - the equaliser, which certainly appeared to be offside, the sending off, which appeared soft, and the penalty incident at the end, which I'm sure would have been given had it occurred in the first half or earlier in the second.

As I say, I haven't seen any replays yet, but I don't think City were robbed today. The team managed one effort on target. West Brom looked no more than an average Championship (but it's a weak division this time around). A draw was about right.

‘No more than average’? 🤦*♂️

They weren’t as good as Bournemouth but they are much better than most of the bang average teams in the Championship.

I'm not sure what your pretty little pictures are supposed to signify, but West Brom looked no more than an average Championship side to me.

Their last ten results are as follows:

1-0 v Hull (H)
1-1 v Middlesbrough (H)
0-1 v Huddersfield (A)
0-0 v Blackpool (A)
0-0 v Nottingham Forest (H)
2-1 v Coventry (A)
1-0 v Reading (H)
0-0 v Barnsley (A)
0-1 v Derby (A)
1-1 v Cardiff (H)

In their last four games, West Brom have managed to score a grand total of two goals against four of the bottom five teams in the division, and one of those was offside. They're far from great.

I've just watched the highlights and would say the West Brom goal was definitely offside, the sending off was justified in today's climate and the 'penalty', although soft, would have been given nine times out of ten.

A draw was just about the right result in a poor-quality game.

You've got it spot on. Imagine the reaction if the penalty had been awarded, Pack would have been slaughtered, particularly so soon after Bacuna's debacle.

Townsend (and Ishmael) may have expected a penalty. He didn't deserve one. But he certainly deserved an Oscar!

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

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.
