I'm thinking it is corrupt

[BlueAnorak]

The rags should be reported to the FA for exceding the squad size.
A squad of 31 (25 players + 6 officials) is definately breaking the rules.

Re: Super Kev - see my post above and calm your skin down !

We've had many a bad decision go against too though. It happens mostly away from OT, sure. But it does happen.
Carragher nearly chopping Nani in half at Anfield - nothing done for example.

No point whinging about them, just got to get on with scoring more goals than you let in.

So says the rag who gets all the decisions!
I am calm as I accepted corruption a long time ago and it gets you nowhere getting worked up about something you can't control.

For many years my thoughts on corruption were irrelevant as united were far superior on the pitch, this season that hasn't been the case by a long stretch.
Enjoy your tainted title victory as all real football fans know the truth.

The 'rags' ( and that really is a pathetic name for us ) don't get ALL the decisions - take off the tinfoil hat.

Agreed that our side isn't as superior on the pitch as it has been over the years. We have however been putting our chances away against sides in the league and that has what has got us top, not the refeeres.

Should we win the title, I will not give a toss what 'real' football fans think - I'll be busy celebrating with fellow supporters.

WTF are 'Real' football fans anway ? Am I not one beacuse I follow a side in Red from Trafford ??

Funny, no one was saying that when City were clear at the top.

Why the obsession with where people are from?

It's like a default setting for childishness.

I'm from just outside Altrincham, if you must know. So now, hopefully, we can go back to actual debate. Dear me.

Well London is just outside Altrincham

'Real' football fans are fans of non-successful clubs.

City fans will all of that ridiculousness to come; when they win a title, they'll have to begin fielding the accusations of living in Surrey and being a glory hunter.

I've said this before but I'll say it again, I became suspicious of corruption the day Utd got that phantom penalty against Frontzeck in FA Cup at OT when we were 1-0 up, disgraceful decision and anybody who's been watching football for the last 20 years and doesn't believe there to be bias towards them cunts needs to take their head from out of their arse.
They got whopped in Europe cause they haven't got the ref's in their pocket, where you can actually have a 50/50 with a rag player, where the defensive midfielder for the opposition doesn't get a booking after 1 foul against him and where the ref's don't have to worry about being demoted for not giving Utd everything. Rant over, still disgusted with last night mind.

You've mentioned Surrey twice, yet no one else has
A Freudian slip?

So how come a STONEWALL penalty isn't given against you when it matters. The same for Kompany, he tackles and gets the ball and gets sent off!

How come 2 years ago we played at OT and the game went into the 8th minute where a winning goal was scored, add up the minutes and it was scored in the 8th minute of 7 minutes of added time.

How come Giggs can get away with a similar to Kompany straight red but gets a booking?

How come Wayne Rooney can foulmouth officials and doesn't even get a mention whereas Balotelli only needs to walk near a player to get a yellow.

How come United somehow get 2 penalties in consecutive games, a record last set decades ago.

Whereas we get our team decimated by referees, goals, handballs all that shouldn't of stood. We would of walked this league if it had been fair!

I posted the list from that web site... you might not agree with them, but it's a start.

So you'll be posting ten decisions, I assume?

Gladly mate,

1. 2-2 Fulham (A) - Foul on Dzeko leading to the equaliser
2. 1-6 Scum (A) - Richards none penalty
3. 3-1 Wolves (H) - 66% possession for us (14 fouls made, 6 against)
4. 1-1 Liverpool (A) - Reina handball outside box, Balo sent off for Skrtel elbowing him
5. 2-1 Chelsea (A) - Silva none penalty, Lescott penalty given & Meireles persistant fouling no booking
6. 0-0 WBA (A) - Balotelli goal disallowed when onside
7. 1-0 Sunderland (A) - Their goal was 5 yard offside
8. FA Cup - Kompany red
9. Carling Cup - Richards penalty for handball
10. 0-1 Wigan (A) - Handball with Aguero clean through
11. 1-0 Everton (A) - Foul on Dzeko for their goal, Lescott none penalty and Drenth GBH
12. 2-1 Chelsea (H) - Foul on Barry for their goal
13. 3-0 Liverpool (H) - Barry sent off for Agger running into him

There's a few more too but I've done what I said I would and more.

Impressive list. Although IMO a few debatable ones in there.

WBA - Can't remember whether is was Balo or Aguero but I'm sure one of them was offside interfering with play.
CHELSEA (A) - The Lescott penalty was no different to the Essien penalty a few weeks ago
LIVERPOOL (H) - Barry's was a clear block on Agger. Be honest with yourself there.

Warren, can you come up with a list to run parralel with fatblokes? Before you start, I am not suggesting only a list equal to that of fatblokes will put this debate to bed - i'm just curious as to what you could respond with in terms of decisions against United (the ones I'm aware of are Hernandez @ Stoke, Rio @ Newcastle & Valencia @ Etihad).

add to your list sunderland one - 5 yards offside, nothing like a bit of exaggeration to make your point!

your stat about wolves possession is completely meaningless without you reviewing every foul to see if it was correct, possission=/= fouls

kompanys tackle was a red by todays laws, every ref would have given it

balo's goal at wba was offside, aguero clearly active in the build up

barry v liverpool was a clear second yellow

 

[monty silva]

We have some of the best players from all around the world playing in our league, is it not time that the Premier League was allowed to employ the best refs from around the world?
