🚨Joe Hart shares on the two penalty decisions that went against Manchester City against Brighton: 🗣️“Two clear penalties. Two. And the referee just… carries on like he was watching a different game. Brighton effectively robbed Manchester City of those decisions, and he looked at both of them and decided nothing happened. Nothing. How do you watch that and just wave play on? What is the standard here? If those exact incidents happened to Arsenal or Manchester United, we wouldn’t be having this calm little discussion. The media would be on fire. Pundits would be calling for the referee’s head. Social media would be an absolute circus. But because it’s City, it’s ‘debatable’ or ‘not clear enough’. That’s the double standard and everyone can see it. I’m not saying City should get special treatment. I’m saying they should get the same treatment. The same threshold. The same scrutiny. The same outrage when something’s missed. What’s the point of VAR if you can overlook two obvious penalties and the game just moves on? Are we using it to correct clear errors or to protect certain narratives? You lot will cry ‘City privilege’ every week, yet when the decisions actually go against them, suddenly it’s silence or excuses. Put Arsenal or United in that position and tell me the reaction would be the same. It wouldn’t. It never is. City aren’t asking for favours. They’re asking why two clear penalties can be ignored without the same noise that follows everyone else. And if you can’t see the difference in how these things are treated depending on the shirt, you’re either blind or you’re part of the problem.” “The next time someone tells me the Premier League treats every club the same, I’ll just show them this. Two penalties. Zero decisions. Zero outrage. Funny how that works, isn’t it?”
