The actual problem with this incident is not so much Mike Riley as the fools at FIFA who re-wrote Law 12, and left refs with no discretion, other than for hand-ball, to judge intent. I would suggest - and even this is opinion - that Nosworthy did not intend to foul. Under the old Law 12 it would have been no penalty. Under the “new” one the ref has no discretion if he thinks there’s contact. You cannot attack Riley unless you can do so on a factual basis.

The ame fools have also cocked up the law on offside, such that you need a degree in jurisprudence to interpret it. Target the real fools in all this - FIFA.

P.S. whatever our lot think, we are in the position in the league we deserve to be in, as you make your own luck.

Also as a city fan, i am not the biggest supporter of your Manager (for obvious reasons!!) however he also has conducted himself very well this season!!

between the two teams, we really are showing the likes of Wenger/Grant/Fergason et al how it should be done!!

i hope you guys stay up and kick on again next season!!

CTID!!!

1)I only saw the incident once.
2)I only had one angle to see it from
3)I saw the incident in real time.
4)I had maximum time of a second to give my desicion.

When you reviewed the tap…..

1)How many times did you have to watch it?
2)How many angles did you watch it from?
3)How slow was the tape going when you relised there was no contact.
4)How long did you have to make your desicion.
