THEY will be striking an extra medal for referees if Manchester United go on to claim their 20th league title.
Certainly the dark arts of the game and the failure of referees to spot a dive are having a significant impact on United’s title progress.
For the third home game in succession they got the benefit of a controversial decision that will have had Manchester City and their followers raging at their TV screens – again.
First, there was Michael Carrick’s late trip on Danny Murphy that should have earned Fulham a stonewall penalty and a point – only for referee Michael Oliver to rule it out.
Then came United’s early penalty against QPR when Ashley Young – in an offside position – went over under the slightest of touches from Shaun Derry, whose frustration was compounded by a red card from Lee Mason.
Yesterday Young found himself in the eye of the storm again for an even more outrageous dive to win another early spot-kick.
He threw out his left leg to make sure he made contact with Ciaran Clark, then twisted his body into a dive that, yes, Tom Daley would have been proud of.
Referee Mark Halsey bought it but when he sees the replay he will know he should have booked Young for simulation and awarded a free-kick to Aston Villa.
When Young sees it he will surely just be as embarrassed. He is not alone.

The Old Trafford 'soft penalty' issue is permiating the media. It was raised in the intro to the Spurs-Chelsea FAC semi-final this afternoon.
Look at the two Ashley Young dives that resulted in two penalties (and one sending off) and compare it with the Carlos Tevez incident that resulted in play-on and a booking for Tevez.
Even this likes of Adrian Chiles has started to notice!

he should be banned for it im pretty sure krasic got banned for doing it at juve. its ridiculous now theres a controversial decision every week with them i still cant get my head around the fact that davids pen against chelsea wasn't given.
I posted on here a couple of days ago, to apologise for us not putting up a fight against uniturd, sadly we have one of old prune faces former players and i could see us bending over for them, i was more surprised we didnt let more than 4 in for them.
Here's a quote from McRelegator's interview on the AVFC official site.
"The Young Lions have come to the Theatre of Dreams,the champions, a world class club side, playing against people like scholes, thinking we can get close to them, can we stop them playing".
If you boys do win the league in the end and i pray you do it will be against all the dirty tricks being played, some on here have said that, the referee's are bent, i think some of the managers need to look at themselves as too many in this league send there team out at OT to do everything in there powers to help them.
So like i said earlier im sorry we couldnt help you boys out as you truely deserve the title this year.
Anyway cheers and good luck

Its sad that a former player who goes to your ground to watch you play still, has robbed and conned you like that with his diving. I hope he gets real stick next time he's near Villa Park.
As for your views on managers going to the swamp with their pants down waiting to give 3 points easier then a $10 hooker, we all know who they are and it's dispicable that supporting fans have to sit back and listen to such utter bollox when they get tanked. The LMA don't have the balls to say anything because they want to protect the old drunk just as much sky do.

haha, did he cum on the end?
He had to say this, his fellow Scotsman said he is doing great job at Villa
Henrymph said:I think when Ashley Young comes to Manchester we should all wear goggles and armbands ...always a thrill watchin' some synchronized Olympic diving.
can we please actually do this? at least in the corners, because he's bound to go and take one at some point? we can just pull them out as he jogs over?
