I'm thinking it is corrupt

[sale blue]

its rotten to the core....whats scary tho is that this will not get second mention, Oliver will not be questioned about his blatant incompetance, the golden egg is safe again...everyone can see it and some on here come on to defend it, unbelievable. its been going on for years

 

[bluelol]

I just wish I could mute the TV and just hear the crowd, anyone know if it can be done please

I love how the people who choose to pretend it's not fixed instead choose to believe that there's not one ref in the country who can actually do his job and simply blame everything on 'inconsistency'.

However unlikely you think corruption is, it's far more unlikely that a pro sport can't attract 1 referee who can uphold the laws of the game on a consistent and fair basis.

Re: ok, so i think we can all now agree its bent......

what do we do about it? serious thoughts on where we go with this.

we can start with the visit of mike riley in april.

We could also just stop dropping stupid points away from home against shit teams.

Just a thought like .... ;)

This thread should be interesting.

If we are relying on a penalty decision (yes it was a pen) in one match then we are clutching at straws. No matter how many pts they have already, we should be 6 or 7 pts clear now at least.

WBA, Sunderland, Everton, Swansea (and the other ones we will drop pts in between now and may) away is what will cost us the league title. 1 pt our of 12.

We wont get any favours from anyone else, we need to start taking care of things ourselves.

We will more than likely be 6 pts behind them going into kick off at the Emirates, thats the pivitol weekend. If we come out of that 3 or less pts behind we will win it.

There's not getting any favours, there's being fucked over by strange decisions and there's your rivals getting almost everything. Don't lump them all together as one.

I seem to remember Newcastle getting a pen (and a point) at OT when it was a good tackle. Was everyone outraged then? No.

We're looking for excuses, to hide the fact we havent put it to bed in Jan/Feb when we had the chance.

 

[mancitygaz]

what gets me is, if a panel of arseholes can sit round a table and decide whether a player meant to elbow, punch, kick stamp on another player, when its not clear cut - even after numerous replays - and the players either get banned or get off.

Why can't a ref be banned for a period of games for making a total bollocks of a decision?

They can be mate or dropped down the divisions for a week or two, hardly ever happens though because that is an admission of their shitness.

I've seen worse - from where Oliver was it looks as though it's Carrick who got contact on the ball.

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.

Erm...90% of other penalty appeals mate. Oliver sees Carrick swing a leg and the ball spins off the right way. It's hardly groundbreaking mate it's just another case of Rags getting fucking jammy again.

With respect, the whole stadium went quiet because everyone knew it was a penalty. Anyone who's played the game could tell you that Carrick can't tackle Murphy there. Yet again United get the 'rub of the green' from referees. This can't be a coincidence.

I'm sorry but it's your comment that is horse shit.

Whilst there is no doubt Fulham should have had a penalty tonight, that Barry tackle was the definition of stone wall. Completely missed the ball and could have broken his ankle. If that was a City striker in the box getting crunched like that and the ref didn't give it you'd be going mental and you know it.

Surprise, surprise, the 'Oldham Athletic' fan crops up supporting United.

Ah right. Like that is it? Suppose I should have said 'Bollocks, Fulham should have never had a penalty, it was a dive'!

Get a grip. Upon another look, that was a nailed on penalty tonight. As was Barry's tackle. Or am I not allowed to say that?

You are allowed to be sensible about when you chose to rub it in City fan's faces on a City forum. Do you think you'll be congratulated for having the opposite view everytime?

 

[bondsman]

i'm actually in the minority and not sure if it was a penalty.
it's part of the modern game that i hate, because murphy has let the ball roll under him hoping he's gonna get hit. if he takes it on his right foot and shoots, he scores, end of. don't know why he had to arse about

You sir must be having a laugh. It's a foul end of. Don't use that 'its a part of the modern game I hate Shit' to sound erudite and knowledgeable. You have clearly no idea about football.

first we can stop crying about it...next we do what the rags do and create an air of entitlement about it...then we stop yelling agenda every time a dodgy decision is given against us or in the rags favour....the mindset will take years to change....whining like a fkn baby wont change it overnight
