Back before City had mega money even their own balloons were against them... Nobody liked them even back then!! Hart didn't know what to save!!

Surely the ref needed to do something before these became a problem!!
 
The Ref Stop
Remember being in the away end on that day - front row, about ten yards from this. If anything summed up my first years of watching City, that was it!
 
At a game in Ireland recently where the referee stopped the game when the away fans threw toilet paper onto the pitch near the assistant referee. I think every referee has to have common sense and address things thrown onto a field of play before a team is in an attacking position and avoid a potentially game changing moment.
