Just to clarify I don't really like Newcastle or Man City very much, so I'm not being biased in my opinion of the match before anyone thinks that I am.

The Referee in this game was so blatantly biased towards Man City today it was ridiculous.

1. Giving Man City free kicks whilst Newcastle got none for similar challenges.

2. Denying Newcastle a penalty towards the end of the first half when Stones fouled him in the penalty area.

3. The Referee trying to disallow Newcastle's first goal, but VAR thankfully stepped in.

4. Again the Referee trying more dirty shenanigans by trying to send Trippier off for an offence that anyone with eyes could see that it was only a yellow card. Again VAR had to step in and correct his decision.

5. Giving 55 minutes of added time to try and get Man City a late winner, knowing that Newcastle were starting to get tired.

Basically well done to Newcastle for holding off 12 men, it is unusual to see that standard of bad Refereeing away from a Birmingham City match, but that match today definitely came close.
