Fair point.

In the interests of impartiality we should include the blatantly incorrect decisions that directly cost united points as well.

I suspect it will actually only further confirm the nature and extent of the bias and favouritism they benefit from but I could be proved wrong!
 
Manchester United's decline is bad for the Premier League, says Richard Scudamore
Premier League chief executive bemoans Old Trafford problems, admitting the competition's worldwide appeal could be harmed

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ from the Premier League launch in Islington, north London, he said: "Without being disrespectful to any club, we have a strategic plan at the Premier League and the strategic plan says putting a new name on the trophy in every six-year period.
Two quotes from the then head of the premier league !
UNBELIEVABLE

I realise we've already got a united thread and a VAR thread but this particular issue can get lost amongst the general discussion in those threads.

I think it would be useful to have a specific thread where we can keep an accurate tally of the points awarded to united over the course of the season as a direct result of "contentious" decisions by the onfield officials and VAR.

Not so much a discussion thread and not somewhere to highlight the constant, insidious low level favouritism that they receive week in week out, just somewhere to keep a record of the actual game changing and point gifting decisions that they benefit from on a weekly basis.

So to begin:-

- Mon 14 Aug Scum v Wolves. Failure to award a blatant penalty to Wolves. +2 corrupt points

They're on 6,634 so far.

That's easy enough to do. Only time that ever happens is when they play the dippers at klanfield and in the run in against whoever is challenging us for the title, so 2 games at most to monitor.

It would be nice to backdate it. That way we'd include the many that most people will have forgotten about. We know about the ones when we've played the rags, but other forums will have their own bitter memories of blatant corruption when playing the vermin.

So last season off the top of my head they got bent/favourable decisions against City, Arsenal and Liverpool in the league. And a dodgy penalty in the cup final..

I suspect they get the rub of the green against the top 6 teams. I also suspect they get the "poor" decisions when it doesnt matter, IE 3-0 up against Luton is a good place to give them a poor decision - To even things out.

For me having a full picture gives a better argument.

Having a a complete picture would be good because they do get decisons against them, but I see those only in games of no importance.

I suspect PGMOL will even things up now and give a bad call against them in a unimportant match where they are 4 or 5 nil up (Unlikely I know). Utd fans and their media will use that to show it is all fair and evens itself out.

That's why I suggested this thread should only be specifically for recording decisions that directly influence the result of the game in terms of points gained or lost.

There's plenty of other places to have a general discussion on the wider low level favouritism and bias they receive throughout the course of virtually every game.
 
Who cares, as long as they stay shite i'm willing to begrudgingly accept that no one is ever getting anything ever at the swamp. As Bruce Hornby and the Range once said "thats just the way it is"

Good idea for a thread. There will be ones where it’s a proper goal or disallowed goal that hit the net that goes in their favour so will be interesting to see where it is at the end of the season.

But this is only a ‘sort of’ +2 points for this first one.

Like I kept telling Liverpool fans the other year (Rodri incident at Everton), there’s no guarantee that he’d have scored the penalty as on average 15% are not scored.

Plus - like I also said about the Rodri one at Everton - from the kick off United might have gone and scored a winner themselves because the game would have taken a different turn if they’d started with the ball on the centre spot with a different mindset after conceding a goal from a penalty, instead of down in their own box after a penalty wasn’t given.

And had they got inside the Wolves area in the dying seconds the Wolves goalie would only need to breathe on a Rag to even up the pens.
