I don't agree with those ratings, but it goes to show how we all have different views on the game. Most on here only see things from a City point of view, and everything is viewed through blue tinted glasses. For example, there are plenty of comments regarding the ref and how he was not going to give our second goal. That's what I call watching a different match. The goal is on here for all to see. It was not a straightforward decision, he needed the help of technology to confirm the ball had crossed the line. From the time the ball actually crossed the line to the time he started to put the whistle to his mouth to signal the goal was two seconds. He never for one second looks like he is not going to allow the goal to stand, but because our fans blame him for us falling behind, they will blame him for every decision he makes irrespective of whether it is correct or wrong.
He had a bad game, no doubt about that. However, he was'nt the one who made mistakes at the back, or missed a few sitters up the other end. We will have refs in the future who will make dreadful decisions, but so will all the other teams. We just have to get on with it, the same as all the other teams, and if we are good enough, we will go up irrespective of how the refs perform.
