MAN CITY ROBBED (alien.top)

I cant believe im saying this. Man city got absolutely robbed. The epl referees are disastrous. This reminded me of a video of the danish league where the referee blew a whistle by mistake on an advantage play when the guy was through on goal and was extremely apologetic. Our refs will never show such class.

Btw I don’t support man city and this is the result i was seriously hoping for as an arsenal supporter. But how do you mess up so bad? And no apologies at all? Geez who tf do these refs think they are?

I’m not privy to the comms between the referees, but I think most likely what happened was that Grealish was offside so when the ball was played to him, the AR said “waiting” (basically “he’s off but I’m not going to raise the flag yet”). Obviously there’s not going to be an advantage here, so the referee blew it back for the initial foul.

If this is what happened, it was actually really good refereeing, just poorly communicated to the spectators (though obviously it’s possible it was just a cock-up)
