Matty said:This is what should be clamped down on. Refs get ostracised from Old Trafford if Fergie doesn't like them, there's simply no way he should have that level of power.RandomJ said:Fergie has the refs exactly where he wants them. They are petrified of him because if they give a decision against them Fergie will give them a tongue lashing and call their ability into question and the media will eat it all up. So the refs just bottle it and give United the "benefit of the doubt" every single time. Fergie has far too much power over the refs and I can't fucking wait till he retires so the refs will once again have the balls to give decisions against United.

Jammy as fook but to use that as an argument for corruption in United's favour - naa.
United lucky again though, the type of "luck" we've hardly seen all season.
Please can you give us an example of anything worse or even close to as bad as what United got away with tonight.

Stoke should have had a penalty against us, and they didn't get it. I didn't see anyone claiming it was corrupt then. United had a bullshit penalty given against them at OLD TRAFFORD against Newcastle earlier on in the season.
People need some perspective. It was a tough one to give, and I think Oliver either wasn't sure, or just bottled it.
That's it. It's not Sky fucking telling him to "not see it".

we can start with the visit of mike riley in april.
mastrotheoris said:A clear Fulham penalty not given. However, it was a refereeing decision that had cost United 2 points when Neacastle went to Old trafford so it is fitting that another dodgy refereeing decision tonight should set the balance right.
