How is waving an imaginary card any different to shouting for a foul to be punished from the touchline? I think we’ve seen a lot of the latter in English football from British Managers. Are we saying you’re not allowed to mime? 

Mancini is learning fast about the English game, that it is bent.  What he saw was  an incident that desreved a red card and he should be able to express that, all this fuss about how you should not try to get a player sent off, maybe to a point on the pitch player to player yeah i agree, but as a manager he has a right  to say eh ref that should have been a red card or indeed mime it.  Ferguson has been berating and trying to influence Refs for years.

Maybe he should put both hands and arms in the air and storm
out of his dug out shouting at the fourth official like SAF as that is clearly
different. Then instead of just saying ‘I won’t comment’ on decisions in the
interviews maybe he should do what SAF does i.e. ‘If the assistant referee’s
ever gets a game again well it’s not up to me to decide’ in reference to
Newcastle being give a penalty, disgusting behaviour I’m sure most decent
people will agree. I wonder if that liner ever did work again. Not for him to
decide indeed but he’ll have a good go at influencing the matter! This is
common place for SAF. His players dive and cheat they’re constantly caught
doing this usually Nani because he’s a ‘dirty foreigner’ like Mancini but as
bigger diver and cheat is Rooney but as he’s British hypocrisy keeps it mostly
on Nani.

Some of the decisions against Mancini’s team have been
really strange especially in the last 4 or 5 games (Barry off against pool for nothing,
 Kompany enough said, Johnson’s worse
tackle not even getting a yellow in the very next game in fact did it even get
the foul? and now Figueroa clearly stopping the ball cynically as he could to
stop Aguero going on goal with the nearest defender 15 yards away) To him it probably
feels like all the decisions are going  against him decisions you may get once a
season. One of these decisions could play a part in changing the outcome of
every English competition it’s not like they are little mistakes the Kompany one
was massive. Can you blame Mancini for wanting to give his opinions on these?
He can’t really speak about it as Managers are told not to criticize
referees in after game interviews, and depending on who you are this gets
respected. So I guess this is one way he can get his opinion across. A manager
cannot influence a sending off like a player in the game ala Rooney in the
derby telling the ref all about a nasty tackle he had seen this of course is no
problem to the British press and is over looked most weeks but it does seem to
annoy people a lot more when it is one of those ‘dirty foreigners’ and not the
British players which doesn’t even warrant a mention and the talk here is about
hypocrisy. Do me a favour!!

Mike Calvin – your bitterness and crass stupidity is clearly showing. Give it up, you sad little nonentity. You clearly do not have a CLUE!!

Oh, guess what Mr. Calvin? If you think Mancini has a lot to learn to learn about the English game YET City are top of the Premier League, you must be quaking in your boots as to what will happen when he learns about the English game! You are not the brightest button in the box, are you, Mr. Calvin? As most of the comments below show…

What crybabies. The man demands his players be protected by punishing
dangerous or unfair play and HE is the villain. The ridiculous
hypocrisy of the sporting media knows no limits.
