I'm thinking it is corrupt

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.

You also seem to have forgotten Newcastle got a clear pen denied in the reverse fixture. Isn't that enough ''luck''?

We were all laughing when Newcastle got given that dodgy pen at OT, I think they even themselves out tbh, still gutted

Thats Deep.....But good point well made...what took you so long

Not sure why anyone is surprised. Been going on all season this shit. There's none so blind as those who refuse to see.

We can all pick out individual decisions to support our theories. Just as many are with the 'Newcastle penalty at Old Trafford' argument.

But the situation is that people are incredibly suspicious of the weight of numbers of debatable, at best, decisions that go their way.

I can name a handful of decisions that go, incorrectly, for and against every team in the league every season. What I can't do is name any other team that gets anywhere near the same amount of 'rub of the green' (being polite) as they do. Season in. Season out.

Everyone knows it. Even Martin Jol, and dozens of other managers, who has just said as good as the same thing on the radio (as many others have hinted at before him)

Watched a replay and it was definitely a penalty. ManU are either a very very lucky team or are the refs a bit scared of giving penalties against them?

Get a grip lads FFS!

United had 10 shots on target to Fulham's 2. Fulham were lucky to still be in the game and even though it should've been a pen at the end, anyone who can't honestly see why Oliver thinks Carrick got the ball is blind or desperate. It was lucky for United, unlucky for us and Fulham but nothing more. We need to stop relying on refs (especially those reffing the Rags) and win our own games!

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

These things even themselves out over a season?
Do they f*ck!
So Fulham might get a decision go their way against Wigan or Bolton etc, but those twats rarely see anything go against them.
In case people forget Richards was brought down/pushed at the swamp and nowt given.
Ok so it didn't matter on the day, but it could have!

Its high time for international refereeing rosters. Because there is undoubted bias and intimidation at Old Trafford. And as Benitez pointed out, he's the only one that gets away with it, without charge, week in, week out.

This in a nutshell is why they are so exposed in european competition. They cannot impose upon the officials.

Only then will we have truly 'objective' refereeing in England.

bang on the money.

I'm never surprised when United get dodgy decisions, no sendings off, penalties that never are and never get them against them and so on, but this season i can't believe what i'm seeing it's week after week it's ridiculous. For one they are shite yet everyone still loves them and we are the league villans it's pathetic really. The 2 pens at Stamford Bridge and the countless that should of been against them i generally believe there is an agenda to keep United in the top 2 (title race) as if they are gonna loose out if they are to drop out. I'm fed up of it all now i can't be arsed arguing with people and for the first time ever i'll be glad when the season is over (hopefully with our first title in hand) how they are even where they are is beyond me but what can we do.....do we win the league i am going to paint my arse blue and shove it in everyone of the horrible bastard faces!

This is what happens to the biggest team in the country. It used to be Liverpool who would almost always get a pen at the Kop End.

Everyone knows that the refs favour Man Utd. It's not corruption, it's just that so often when you make a penalty decision there's an element of doubt so if the biggest club in the country is involved you err on the side of caution
