Where do you start with this man? He clearly in in the pocket of Old Mother Riley and should be using a white stick and a guide dog Failed to see the clear push by Walker on Raheem that should have been a penalty for City to go 3 up but then again her claimed he hadn t seen the incident with kun in the WHU game despite looking straight at it and awarding a FK the man is hopeless and I have never seen him have a good game must think that its the halftime music used at all games as he leaves the field to a chorus of boos

Yet another shocking display from Marriner
I have never in my 50 years of watching football seen a more blatantly biased performance from a so called professional referee
Waved away 2 blatant penalties, booked 2 Sunderland players for petty misstimed challenges, while turning a blind eye to an definite red card for a shockingly high challenge on young Watmore , and an even worse challenge from Slimani
Obviously being from `the midlands` has no bearing on his favouring a Midlands side ???

 One of the worst refereeing displays I ve witnessed in a long time yesterday,he had 3 big decisions to make and got them all wrong.
A penalty that never was & 2 yellow cards for dangerous play which should have resulted in straight reds.
Absolutely appalling.

Thought that he refereed our game against Fulham sensibly. Few controversial decisions but never easy to get them all right. I like penalties to be given for proper fouls not this stepping on someones little toe and them falling down like they,ve been pole axed.No truck with our esteemed captains red card, fully deserved.
