Newcastle v Manchester City

[bloovee]

After Danny Murphy's complaint that an opposition team hadn't get even got a yellow card against City, we've had Kane and Alle getting yellows for what might have been reds for fouls against City players, Guardiola asking for protection, and this "tackle" given as a foul but not even a yellow. Mr Atkinson didn't even give the foul (AR flag but not the vigourous waving you'd expect).

Horrible challenge - red I agree

4th in 4 games today, finally someone nailed a city player properly

I may start a Palace v City thread when I've calmed down.

I'm not sure I'll calm down enough to post a reasonable response to that challenge today.

This has been brewing for weeks. Referees have failed to punish FOUR shocking challenges in as many games (Kane on Sterling, Alli on KBD, Jacob Murphy on Gundogan and Puncheon on KDB). Today's challenge wasn't just a poor one, it was an assault. A miracle that KDB walked away after the game.
