I thought that he controlled the game well and probably the best ref in The Premier now that Clattenberg has gone but I noticed 1 free kick in the 2nd half to City just outside of our box and he took 7 very short paces to put the line down and then on the next he took 8. Not one of them being anywhere near a yard and neither being 10 yds are near to.

I noticed one incident in the first half when he allowed City to take a quick free kick, ten yards further forward from where the foul occured. But yes you are right, generally he had a good game l think.

I did think there were some challenges that he gave City the benefit of the doubt, but not us in the same circumstances.

However, that sort of thing does seem to happen where a top six side is playing a lesser team.

So to be expected I suppose?

What was Jesus' yellow for?

I thought he was very good. Treated the primadonna-ish dives from both teams (sadly, ours rather more than theirs) with the utter disdain that they deserved.

At the game I wasn't quite sure. Only saw it was handball when watching it on MOTD later.

I did notice that to nip in the bud their player protests he went straight up to Kompany to explain the decision and leave it there. Good ref all round I thought.

Deliberate hand ball I thought.

I mistakenly thought that an attempt to score via a deliberate handball was a red card offence (and was going to berate the ref) but the maximum punishment is a yellow so fair enough rules wise but it seems inequitable when preventing a goal through unfair means is a red card offence (eg Suarez).

This. I also felt City got the rub of the green when it came to freekicks

Still 8/10

Needs to sort out his white liner stuff, lasted about 5 seconds every time he used it.
