Bennett replaced as ref

gutted if this is true, atkinson is a twat, bloody fergie time, hopefully we'll get mancini time seeing as its not at the theatre of shit
actually quite like bennet though
 
I'm not happy this. Also, Bennett has refeereed two derby wins against United, the 4-1 in 2004 and the 3-1 in 2006, when he sent Ronaldo off. So we've got a good derby history with him.
 
Personally, I don't really give a fuck who refs the game - I don't really know one from another too much... I mean, I know their names, but I can't remember who sent who off in what game like some of you lot can.

But this is a bit suss... Especially after they were whining about him being the ref!

"Tomorrow, it's the turn of 'card happy' Stephen Bennett to take charge. Bennett is one of those referees who is too easily swayed by the home crowd. Bennett also has a history of sending off big name United stars: he sent Ronaldo and Keane off twice. Clearly, Ferguson has every reason to be concerned about the appointment of Steve Bennett for such an important fixture."

Fuck em. We'll beat them no matter how much they try and stack the odds.
 
I am absolutely astonished with this after the controversy at the swamp and him playing until they scored,it defies belief that after that he has been put in charge of the very next league derby and what is at stake,lets just hope he thinks he owes us one.

that was my first thought as well.
 
The referee can't cancel out clear goals and if we blitz United no amount of stoppage time or 50/50 decisions will be able to help them. Big IF, I have a feeling the scum will put in their best performance for months tomorrow.
 
Yes it appears to be correct.
Referee: Martin Atkinson
Assistant referees: Michael Murphy & Martin Yerby
Fourth official: Mike Jones

Atkinson has been Referee for 2 of our games this season.
Home to Portsmouth -4 Yellows (1 for us)-De Jong. Won 2.0
Away to Man Utd - 4Yellows (2 for us) Tevez and Bellamy. Lost 4.3 infamous 90+6 Owen goal.

We have only had Bennet once this season at Stoke in the FA Cup Replay Bennet produced 8 yellows on the day-3 for our lads and 5 for the stoke players, and sent Adebayor off for a push on Shawcross.
 
If he gives any dubious decisions against us I can see and hope he gets a really, really bad time from us, also considering what he did to us in the last derby.

We're at our place now, not the swamp so they can't force the ref into giving them decisions.
 
if ever a ref manipulated a game as much as that t--t atkinson did i have yet to see it? dodgy decision for there third the free kick on the edge of our box? also that free kick he gave against tev for their fourth, then adding the extra two minutes on top straight after, he knew what he was doing, ferguson has him in is pocket he was the ref at bolton against united he craped it when ferguson confronted him on the pitch at halftime? do not expect anything from this guy he is an absolute waste of time, litterally?
