Match Officials Referee: Peter Bankes Assistant Referee: Adam Nunn Assistant Referee: Neil Davies Fourth Official: Andre Marriner
Peter Bankes spotted out marching to Wednesdays game
This is a repeat of the FA Cup Quarter Final game in 2019 where Manchester City scored the winning goal from an offside position, the referee that day ? Yes, you guessed it Andre Marriner. He made a variety of what can only be described as very questionable decisions in Manchester City’s favour that led to the winning goal and second goal. Incompetence is the best thing he can claim, even Guardiola said after the game ‘ yes, the goal was offside and it wasn’t a penalty but you need luck sometimes’ Very comforting.
Andre Marriner, won the last FA Cup game between the sides in 2019
Married Aston Villa supporting lunatic Andre Marriner has seen his fair share of controversy over the years, the fifty year old referee from Birmingham has never been that far away from either questionable decision making or complete and utter incompetence. Hopefully on Wednesday the nugget will stick to his role and prevent himself for trying the same stunt again. When I say stunt ...
In 2019 Marriner whose integrity is never in question, made numerous questionable decisions when he was pictured with a young Asian girl on his knee in Indonesia at a charity event. On the Thursday night of the week long trip Kevin Friend, Martin Atkinson, David Coote and Marriner posed for photos with six women at Brewski & Co bar in Batam’s Nagoya Entertainment District, infamous for its red light district. Marriner of course remains with his integrity intact. If you like.

We will leave the sleazy side of refereeing for now, and hope 150k a year plus 2k a game match fees ( England only, international fees extra ) referee Andre Marriner keeps it in his trousers on Wednesday.
Man City hold the aces when it comes to previous performances between the sides. Leave aside the game we all know should have gone the way of Swansea and still Man City are clear favourites. We have to go back thirteen games for a swans win, that was 1-0 back in 2012, sub Luke Moore scoring the winner.
The teams that day were -
Swans: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor, Routledge (Monk, 87), Britton, Allen, Sinclair, Sigurdsson, Graham (Moore, 79).
Man City: Hart, Richards, K. Toure, Savic, Clichy, De Jong (Johnson, 84), Barry (Aguero, 37), Nasri, Y. Toure, Silva (Dzeko, 87), Balotelli.
Gun toting, human firework and self obsessed idiot Balotelli blasted the ball away in frustration on several occasions during the game, Rodgers then swans manager called it a ‘Wonderful day’ for supporters of the club. The swans have earned several draws since then but no victories. We have to go back to 1984 for another swan win 4-1 at the vetch and then to April 1982 when 2-0 was the score line, a certain Garry Stanley scoring a much celebrated tap in from 41 yards.
Relive that game from 1982 here
Manchester City ‘The facts’ Man City, now have a womens team, they are called Woman City, this keeps them in tune morally and genderly with todays millennial chipmunks. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's (West Gorton) which is a stupid name they changed it to Manchester City after that. When you think the club formed four years after the death of General, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer after being surrounded by Sue and her mates it makes you realise how old the club is. In 1956 they had a fisherman goalkeeper called Bert Trautmann, a Jerry, who has to put up with some tremendous abuse in professional football in the fifties.Whilst the people of Manchester were still putting their windows back in after years of trying to buy windows after the war ended, there was much hostility. However Bert won their hearts in the 1956 final which Man City won. During the game he broke his neck but continued playing. It was later revealed he also played with two broken legs, a broken wrist, multiple bum lacerations from the then spiked stud and a slight graze to his elbow. The latter was treated with beer, Trautmann refused all treatment and the next day ran home to his house in Berlin, which also had no windows. So, a lovely story there from history.
Bert holding his head on after the 1956 FA Cup final
As Manchester’s second team for most of their history stories like Bert’s are often repeated. There was nothing else to talk about for years. Up until 2008 Manchester City were rubbish, then a bloke from an urbanised hot place came along and bought several titles, cups and managers. That’s how football works. The fans of ‘Citeh’ have a song called Blue Moon, which isn’t their song. Brit band Blur are keen followers of ‘Citeh’ and their lead singer says ‘ Citeh’ very well. It has to be said many good things have come out of Manchester and stayed out of Manchester to their credit. Nothing else is known about Man City other than their manager Peppermint Pig can get very minty at times, that was pork I know.
Steve Cooper pre match, complete with stupid questions
It’s no embarrassment, just a learning curve for Cooper and our young players.11th Feb 2021 11:25 Some would say too much respect was paid early on to Manchester City tonight in the FA Cup fifth round tie at the Liberty - as the citizens came and played their usual impressive game. It seems, just like last Friday when Cooper out thought Norwich City that Pep Guardiola did exactly the same in a master class performance. However, the swans were not to be denied a bit of glory.0

When you do come on here that's all you seem to do is moan about this site, and lavish praise on PS. Why don't you just post on there? Genuine question.
May just be me, but I find it odd you feel the need to login on here to tell us how great PS is, quite cringeworthy to be honest, and I'm genuinely not trying to be disrespectful in any way.

It's just an observation risc, not a moan and fyi I dont just post on here to 'moan'
My observation last night was to highlight that in 7 pages of the match topic had descended into people talking down to others when it was imo unwarranted, perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned PS granted, there are the same people who drag this great forum down and perhaps that's why I don't post on here as much as PS.

Personally I would have played Bennett at the back tonight which would have given us much needed experience. Playing a back 3 of 3 21 year olds against Man City was too big a risk and we paid dearly for it tonight.
Full praise for the back three given their age, experience and opposition but Latibeaudiere (and the link between him and Roberts) tended to switch off and Guehi's positioning and lack of height when jumping was exposed far more than in League games. Cabango got caught out by clever runs he doesn't see in the Championship and (probably because of playing little time together) Lati wasn't covering Ben when the 44 was covering 5. Cabango, Bennett, Guerhi is our strongest combination.

Latibeaudiere does seem to suffer from a few head flips a game at the moment, but for the most part he looks a very good player, I'm hoping with experience he will start to cut out the mistakes.
Cabango did well I thought, Guehi went to sleep for the first, defend the front post at all costs, as soon as he didn't that was always going to be a goal. The experience will do them all good.
What surprised me about City was when they finally lost the ball, how quick they were to win it back, hunted in packs. Difficult night for the boys.

A few of our better players rested, and a 3 -1 defeat to an in form Man City is not to bad really is it, just as long as it does not effect our performance for the far more important game on Saturday.

I'm confused, not hard I know but I thought the agreement between two very sensible site owners was not to undermine both sites. Or are you on about scfc2 ?
