Official match thread: vs Man City (A)

Very funny.

I wondered if it was Lee Mason - the referee from Manchester..... again

 

Wouldn't know where to look tbh

 

I've already looked PL website - no announcements yet for week 2 games.

 

When are they normally announced? Two/three days before the game? Or is it a set day of the week; aka Thursday for all weekend/Monday games...?

 

I don't know. I've only ever looked at it a few times usually a few days before.

I wasn't arguing with you. Just pointing out that if we can't play in the evening then we're screwed for the CL.

 

we are 3rd seeds so must be bumfucked anyway... this fanboy thinks europe sucks and lfc rules. we'll be fine playing the lesser sides in europe like barca.

 

List all our Monday night games under Brod and then I'll answer

 

so.. two fat lazy bartards (using my version) have reached an impasse. Unless some youngpower hard worker comes along and helps we may NEVER resolve this issue.

 

They used to be on refworld but they moved off there as too many lads like us were looking at their site. The put on premierleague.com so you can go ff team and look for ref.

they re NORMALLY out the monday before the weekend in question but if a really controverisal game is on they delay.

 

here is the link

city ref is

20:00 Man City v Liverpool Michael Oliver S Burt D England C Pawson

so in short its not a great one... I don't like him but hey. f me clattenburg was letting murder get done in the southampton game.

 

Michael Oliver

 

I think Clattenburg is normally one of the better refs but he was terrible Sunday

 

I like the fact that he tried to play advantage but at times there was no advantage to be had.. esp. when one of the times there was a foul just outside the box, good distance and angle for a freekick!

 

I think he let a horrendous amount of fouls from behind go to avoid giving early cards.

2 in total for southampton was ridiculous.

Mind you... we only got the one... this is fine for a top game where mourinho's tactics of cheating are not involved but play this game of not giving early cards and a lot of sides take total advantage to tag a coutinho type and shut him down.

I saw at least 3 fouls through the back of ford.

 

#65 - I posted that link an hour ago - it wasn't updated then

 

i didn't read back that far, sorry.

 

I'm not bothered that you didn't read back, my point was they updated the site in between me posting the link and you posting the link. My link had no names down, your's was fully updated after me and G wondering what day they would put the announcements in.

 

Michael Oliver?

Is he new to big games between two large clubs? He doesn't usually do the big games does he? Probably good- hasn't taken to just taking "the easy way out" yet.
