How can they all get it so wrong? They probably (rightly) assumed Smith would get booked for his foul, and totally failed to notice Marriner had actually called Perch in to be more interested in the technical offence rather than the assault. Then they were too busy watching the replays to notice Smith push Marriner in the chest to be actually booked.

Only the last one of those was actually correct Dave.

According to the BBC/PA, only Smith and Barton were booked. It's a f***ing mystery! Did Perchmiester not get booked for kicking the ball away at some point? Read one of the posts you quoted

When was Smith's alleged first booking? He definitely got one for pushing the ref, but I can't remember one before then. Perch was booked in the first minute of the second half I seem to remember for booting the ball into the stand after the referee gave a free kick to them.

Awful goal.

That's a lush free kick.

BBC reckon they're naming their new manager at a news conference at 5.15pm

I think they've made it Category A+.

They're paid thousands to get the big decisions right. And they're not getting them right. Sometimes there is a reasonable explanation but yesterday there could be no excuses for Atkinson.

Their stadium was unavailable for the first game so they reversed the fixture with Wigan.

1-0 Man City - Tevez.

Looks like we'll have 4 extra mins.

Gary Neville running towards the away end as we speak.

More textbook cheating from Nani goes unrewarded, what a shame.

Two mindbogglingly stupid pieces of defending...two goals.

Right decision. Ball was going straight to the keeper. Not an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

Clear penalty.

Ridiculous goal What's he done with Berbatov?

They're average.

Nani is a cheating prick. Nowt new there like.

The ridiculously pro-Everton commentary on the world feed coverage (the one Sky use for Football First) was embarrassing. MOTD provided a much more fair and honest point of view.

5 points I think, draws with Villa and Wolves and win over Blackpool.

That was Neale Barry. Ahh, was barry knight the bald headed guy? Aye, he sent off Shola at Everton in 05. He was rubbish.

That was Neale Barry.
