Vincent Kompany was once again left frustrated by the decisions of the match referee in the draw with Wolves at Turf Moor.

00:00 Of course, it was an issue.

00:02 You know, if you do a pirouette and you fall on your own,

00:06 and there's absolutely no contact made, then it's just not a foul.

00:12 Right. I think we can all agree on this.

00:14 And but then as well, the referee is in the best position ever.

00:19 So really good position.

00:21 He sees it.

00:22 I can see it from three times as far as he is.

00:26 And for some reason, there's a decision made again out of nothing.

00:30 And then I look at my own team and how we defend the said player.

00:34 That's always the case.

00:35 But yeah, it's a repeat.

00:40 And it doesn't make it any easier.

00:45 I think it started with the player that was after the second half.

00:49 Then the player hurt his foot.

00:51 So we all know the rules.

00:52 If he's holding his head, stop the game, concussion testing and everything else.

00:56 If he's holding his foot, play on most of the time.

00:59 You know, the player won't lose his life there and then

01:03 because something happened to his foot. Right.

01:05 That's why that rule is invented to stop time wasting.

01:08 Brilliant. But yet we're going to do something else.

01:11 And so then there's a penalty that exists for if the medical staff comes on.

01:17 There's 30 seconds that you get penalised.

01:18 So at least you're down to 10 men.

01:20 So again, to stop time wasting.

01:22 But he stops the game,

01:24 goes and attends to the player, wastes time anyway by just talking to him.

01:28 And then the player stays on the pitch.

01:31 Restart of the game with 11 players and nothing's happened.

01:34 And we're just stopped in our tracks.

01:36 So then rewind to the phase where we

01:40 concede the said play and

01:44 you'll note how calm I stayed, right?

01:48 And probably that's the way I should have expressed it last time against Chelsea.

01:53 There's absolutely no excuse for how I expressed it in that time.

01:56 But I just, you know, beg you to understand the frustration.

01:59 That's all. It's just too many times.

02:02 You know, if you know how many points this cost us this season,

02:04 we'd be, you know, you'd be writing praises beyond

02:10 if it hadn't happened that way.

02:12 But it's not supposed to always be easy either.

02:18 So that needs to be our strength as well.
