da imperador bet： Patrick Vieria has stated that he feels that Premier League referees are singling out Manchester City players for punishment, and believes his side are getting short shrift from the officials.
The former France midfielder is now a football development executive at the Etihad Stadium outfit, and has complained about the standard of refereeing.
“It felt like that anything that City will do will be amplified and we get punished, compared to the other teams and the other players” Vieria stated to Mirror Football.
“I don’t want to think about it because I don’t want to say everyone is against City or anything like that.
“But when you look at the last few decisions, you are asking yourself if something is wrong here, if people don’t want us to win the league,” he continued.
Vieria was also quick to point out Frank Lampard’s tackle on Adam Hammill and Peter Crouch’s eye gouging of Jonas Olsson both were punished not as severely as Vincent Kompany’s red card against Manchester United.
“Lampard’s tackle looked dangerous compared to Vincent’s. Crouch, when he put his finger in the eye of another player, looked bad as well.
“We try our best to win the league, we accept our punishment. But when you look what is happening to the other ones, that makes us as a football club really frustrated.
“It seems like if you have one referee you get one decision but if you have a different referee the decision may also be different.
“It’s difficult to understand some decisions compared to the decisions we had. I think this is what brings the confusion. The confusion is dangerous for our game.
“Players are saying that they don’t know what the rules mean and if they are likely to be sent off or not.
“Confusion is really dangerous, especially for the referee and the refereeing body. I believe that they’re making the referee’s job more and more difficult.
“A good referee is someone who referees with his personality and with common sense, to make the decision he thinks is right at the moment, not because he’s afraid of the consequences,” he concluded.
