Confused!! ‘O’Neill’ slams referee accidentally blowing in favor of Man City

Confused!! ‘O’Neill‘ slams referee for accidentally blowing in favor of Man City for offside

Wolves boss Gary O’Neill has question the late drama, questioning whether Premier League referees unintentionally gave the advantage to bigger teams.

Premier League game, week 8, “Wolves” Wolverhampton lost at home to “The Sky Blues” Manchester City with a score of 1-2. In this game, “Wolves” had Jorgen Strand Larsen shoot to lead the game early in the game. Before the end of the first half, the Sky Blues equaliz. Then, in the second half injury time. They could not resist and John Stones headed the ball to win for “The Sky Blues”.

In that moment, Stones’ goal was marred by problems. When referee Chris Kanava initially ruled Bernardo Silva offside. But overturn his decision after VAR advised him to review the monitor and found Silva was indeed offside but did not interfere with the goalkeeper’s play.

After the game, Wolves manager Gary O’Neill was interviewed and questioned whether Premier League referees might unintentionally give the advantage to bigger teams.

“I think about the goal we scored last year. We show the ทางเข้า ufabet referee that the West Ham goalie had a clear view of the ball,” O’Neill said, referring to the controversial incident towards the end of last season. When he was banned for criticising the referee.

“The reason the referee disallow the goal was because one of our players was in close proximity to the opponent’s goal. Which could have affected the play.”

“Today, Bernardo Silva was less than a yard away from Jose Sa, so I hope the referee would use the same reasoning, but it didn’t happen.”

“However, I have to be calm. I don’t want to get a yellow card. I don’t want to sound like an excuse maker. We can’t change the decision. We have to accept it and move on.”

Defeat at Molineux left Wolves bottom of the table and O’Neill add: “Of course Manchester City scoring a last-minute winner bigger deal than Wolves scoring a last-minute winner.”

“There’s no way the referee was intentionally targeting Wolves, but it could be subconscious. I wonder if they could have given Man City an easier advantage than us?”

“When I play City, I have a different feeling than when I play other teams. I wonder if the referees feel the same and do the same thing? They have given their word, but everyone is human.”

“If I have to upset someone, between a small person and a big person, I’ll choose the small person. I suspect the referee might do that unintentionally.”
