Basically if a ref wants to they can do what they want, Micah Richards hand ball at Anfield in the semi final second leg, sterling dive vs Sunderland that was a pen, Aguero booked for diving against Southampton when it was a pen, Sterling pen vs Everton midweek, Navas vs Everton, Yaya vs Utd just before half time last season( think we should of had a couple that day too) when fouled by Rojo. Just a few of the top of my head, plus Nacho's goal given offside against Bournemouth.

I'd like to see exact replicas of the penalties that United are often awarded - for example at Newcastle last week - at the Etihad and see whether or not it's given...

the op is spot on. can only be fixed. nobody but nobody could be as poor as that at their job and yet reach the highest grade to officiate in.
I think most of them are at it. For the officials there's so much money involved and decisions they can defend with their interpretation or "I only get one look at real time at it" logic. I just think now it's been done that long that they're complacent or getting bad at it.
As others who have more knowledge on the subject matter have explained, betting on odd little things in a match - number of offsides, fouls, throw ins are often heavily staked on in Far East markets and even obliging and getting in on this act can heavily influence a football match

I've said this before on here. I assume the refs families are being threatened by organised criminals involved in sports gambling syndicates. It makes it easier to not get angry and empathise that way.

Huge bets went on spurs at half time in that game. Its the only way I can compute that change in performance.nothing will ever convince me this one at spurs was anything but bent.
