That's twice in two games so

Good, the clown has made too many mistakes this year. Cost United a peno (or 2) at the weekend and gifted Chelsea a penno at Liverpool earlier in the year.

Whatever about his performance in the united match and he was bad, (The decision to give a free against Rooney when he got kicked in the gut being the worst imo), He should have been demoted for a long time after that pen he gave against city. That was plain ridiculous.

He was dreadful in that game(decisions for Man Utd and Blackburn)

No surprise from me.

He was

PHB

It's good to see the refs chief actually doing something about it. Those penalties he didn't give both for United and against City were just utterly ludicrous.

While I agree with you PHB that's it's good to see that something is being done about such inadequate performances, it's all smacks a bit of a closing the door after the horse has bolted situation. His performance at the weekend was laughable only that it was such a crucial game. OK anyone can get a couple of borderline decisions wrong in a split second but he seemed pretty determined to give Utd nothing. And Blackburn are notorious for their over-physical approach. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Mark Hughes but he sure has built a team that knows how to dish it, and more often than not, get away with it. If Tevez hadn't pulled it back to 1-1, Styles' performance could have cost us even more.

How long did he get? It seems like it was just the other week. As a city fan I thought you'd want him out for good

Good enough for him.

That was probably the most inept refereeing performance I've seen in yonks last weekend.

Only got one week for it. And yes everytime we get him we're playing 12 men.

I think you are being unfair, Blackburn are not really anymore physical than utd or chelsea or liverpool. they are an excellent side, who deserved wat they got at the weekend. they got it through performance and not fouling their way to a result.

styles is a joke, everyone knows it.

That peno he gave against Sun Jihai for BirmCity v ManCity was the worst I've ever seen.
