Chris Wilder criticises perceived bias from officials

[meeesh]

It'll get him in front of a panel facing charges. They're not allowed to be honest.

It will, that's the downside unfortunately, then a fine which pretty much sums up what it's all about

The game has been gone for a good few years. We’re hardly representing good just look at how our original fans have been driven away, the prices in the ground and the general theme park feel. We’re just a different side of the war. Glad if we can beat the red twats and PL to keep winning trophies but the games a disgrace at this level and always will be.

I sort of agree, for example for a xmas treat we did the pre match pitch tour. I have never felt so distant from City as I did doing that tour. No real fans just tourists who support other clubs.

If the ESL gets going with no promotion or relegation that's it !. At the moment City are winning but that is against the organise attack from the American red tops and press/media

I'm lost for words really, sounds like a bitter pissed of fan.

Chris Wilder criticises perceived bias in refereeing

But that is what happens. Its a well kknown thing isnt it, home advantage, that utd get more pens at theirs, thaat lfc have been proven to get more VAR decisions. And yeah I sort of understand the mechanics of what he is saying in a world where billions are at stake and tribaalism makes a big big part of it (From fans / pundits/ broadcasters / everyone involved including refs who (whilst utd are getting dodgy decisions) their head is being invited to OT with complimentary meals etc... Its just the way of the world. The PL are giving sweeteners to the police, yeah right, its just a gift. Surely we have all lived enough of it to see that sort of stuff happens?

And Sheff utd do not have a voice as big as utd, they are an easier target for an easier life. What would any ref want for example, 100 angry Sheff utd fans tweeting him or 10,000 manu fans and their pundits calling them out.. Seems natural to me, I think wilder is right. I dont think it is cheating though. I live and learn though really do.

His whinging might have a bit more clout if it had come on the back of a controversial game against City, Liverpool or Arsenal.

But does he really think the powers that be have some big agenda to do Sheffield United down in favour of that huge establishment team, Crystal Palace?

I also don’t believe for a second that a current Premier League referee would say that to him.

Although I’m not certain whether he’s claiming the mystery man is still refereeing at the top level to be fair. I wouldn’t put it past some bitter old timer like Hackett to try and stir the pot.

Where does he say that it was a referee that said it to him?

The bigger question is WHY cant refs be questioned, why do they sit protected by the powers that be, we question players, question managers but refs seem to be beyond that.

Refs are human and they make mistakes, but they are paid to do a job and are therefore not above reproach, take that liverpool game midweek, why cant tierney and oliver be asked why they have chosen not to give those penalties to chelsea but given the one to liverpool, why can their interpretation of the rules not be questioned publicly?

I am pretty sure the clubs Masters refers to as small have discussions like this all the time. What I don't understand is why they don't get together and do something about it. The top six only has six votes (for the time being). Better get organised and get on with it if they really believe it.

He’s just trying to get the next decision in their favour. It’s no different to players surrounding the referee in game to try and influence the next subjective call.

Wilder isn’t blessed with much diplomacy, so he’ll likely get a fine for his comments.

What do we think Pep is referring to when he states 'we have to win it for ourselves ' or similar?

You are right I mis-read the bit about eating at half time;

'One of his assistants was eating a sandwich at the time, which I thought was a complete lack of respect. Hopefully he enjoyed his sandwich while he was talking to a Premier League manager."'

Either way, for someone that has been exercising in a professional capacity it doesn't seem out of order that they are re-fuelling (granted no idea the setting or timing of their interaction)........

Whatever he is referring to he will be hard pushed to get Scousers to believe him, It's them it's against.
Full disclosure, I think the OP on the forum thread talks a lot of sense.
