Mancini: Rules are not same for all

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has claimed “the rules are not the same for everyone” while voicing frustration at the standard of English refereeing.

Mancini did not want to comment on specific incidents but City’s title rivals Manchester United have benefited from two controversial penalty decisions in the past fortnight.

City, who trail United by five points at the top of the Premier League, also felt wronged when Carlos Tevez was booked for diving instead of being awarded a penalty against Norwich last week.
