Corrupt Officiating Within the English game

[blueincy]

Again, you've named all these things but equally I can provide as many examples of the opposite. Anyway, I asked for statistics not examples.

Ok now I'm lost here....what is this gif supposed to represent?

Just a question: Why does everyone on here seem to think that every single referee in the league is corrupt in favour of united?.

Not every single ref is corrupt in favour of the rags. That's silly. But in general terms you consistently get treated more favourably. To deny that fits the deluded rag stereotype.

The global commercial reach of the rags is such that the premier league as a product benefits significantly from a successful rags team. The leeches and cockroaches on the periphery of the game also benefit - hence the obsequious narrative employed by the media. It's just business, marketing, sales, profit and economics which motivates that behaviour, and for which the rest of english football despises you.

Alright I may have exaggerated on the 'every single referee' bit but I still don't agree that we get favourable decisions week in week out and as I mentioned, decisions that we don't get are rarely mentioned.

If the powers that be want to keep united at the top then why don't 'favourable ref decisions' ensure that we win a title every season? In regard to your last point, if that's the case it's the media who other fans should hate not us lol

Guaranteed it's dodgy considering the referee decisions we have been subjected to again this season.

I don't think I can ever recall a team which gets fouled so often yet receives so few fouls.

Expecting to get stitched up again on Sunday!

I think that's true in part and in fact match-going rag friends of mine cannot stand the way you are portrayed. The problem is not just the media - it's the "reflected glory by association" wankers who attach themselves to your shitty club and who happily lap this media bullshit up before regurgitating it as being true like the rag twats they are.

You had a point on the first part but then it seemed like you started to go off on a tangent and use it as an excuse to call us 'rags' everything but a child of God so I'm no longer going to engage in a discussion with you.

Over the years, of course there has been corrupt officiating... whether the historical corruption could ever be proved is another matter.

As Sir John Dalberg-Acton once said... "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Well that's a shame because you had the opportunity to perhaps learn something. I will pray for your future enlightenment.
