I'm thinking it is corrupt

Nothing new, they've always got decisions like that at Swamp central.
If it was the other way round they'd have got the penalty for sure.
If they win the league we've only ourselves to blame, not referees, not he FA,
not Sky. We fucked up at S'Land, West Brom, Goodison and Swansea.
Games we should have won
I've not given up yet but unless we get our finger out it's
looking a tall order

Only ourselves to blame!? Against Sunderland we had an offside goal given for Sunderland, West brom we had a good goal disallowed, at Goodison we had three penalties waved away and an assault on Micah Richards by Royston Drenthe not sent off and Swansea we had a 'marginal' at best goal disallowed (And I thought in marginal decisions the advantage should always go to the attacking team) and a penalty awarded against us in that game.

But yes of course we've only ourselves to blame....

We should have been 4 up when Sunderland got their offside goal.
Misfiring strikers away from home cost us.

The different set of standards you have applied to the Sunderland offside goal and the disallowed goal v Swansea are amusing.

Also, 3 penalties waved away at Everton? Really?

Anyone hear the stat today that united are only second to west brom in pens conceeded at home this season. Shocking decision by the ref but corruption...Can't go with that...I just want level playing field for all.

Mario red card for a slight arm on Skirtel.

Whitehead not even booked for a brutal forearm smash on Silva.

That's what bothers me more rather than conspiracy theories and corruption!

Sorry for bringing this up but I know it's been mentioned a lot in people's lists of bad decisions against City but, am I the only one who thinks that goal at WBA was rightly ruled out? The ball is played to Aguero who is definitely offside and the only reason the WBA defender has cleared the ball to Balotelli (who is onside I accept) is because Aguero was interfering with play?

Yeah first time I saw it I thought it was the correct decision. Although Sunderland's goal against us was offside it really angers me seeing other City fans claiming Richards goal against Swansea should have counted because he was only just 'offside'! For one, he was quite clearly offside and at the end of the day it was the correct decision. Yes, the rags get more decisions than us for whatever reason but there was nothing stopping us scoring against Sunderland, Swansea and WBA other than ourselves.

It doesn't get any more of an important decision than this. United v Chelsea at OLD TRAFFORD, winner most likely wins the league. Chelsea score a goal which is the most blatant offside you will ever see, with the linesman in no better position to make the call.

Chelsea win the game, which all but seals the league for them. Corrupt?

I think the important point here is that Chelsea are already 1-0 up.......

You think that decision would have been given at 0-0 of course its clever to give contentious decisions when the outcome is already pretty obvious because people like you can come on here to try and defend that there isn't an inherent bias.

No one is saying that the rags don't get some poor decisions but its usually when the impact will be negligible.

Lets not forget that Macheda scored a goal with his hand in the same game so the ref quickly evened things up meaning drogba's goal had no material impact on the eventual result.

But of course when a decision that is crucial to the outcome of the match needs to be taken the decision always favours the rags as last night conclusively proves.

There is absolutely no defence as to why that decision was not given apart from inherent favouritism/bias the decision was obvious to everyone apart from the referee for some reason.....

Instead of boring us all to tears on this thread, do you not fancy going across to the Red Issue thread and giving your comments on the "Grief Junkies"
regarding Muamba?

It will be interesting to hear a rags fan defend it...

Why do you care? Seriously?

I don't buy Red Issue, never have and never will. I have no interest in discussing that topic, absolutely none at all. And just for the record, I don't condone their actions in the slightest, but that's about as far as I'll get drawn into it.

You must be kidding? Even a draw for United that day would have helped them. That decision was dreadful and huge in the context of the title race. We can't say whether it had been given at 0-0 but to say 'just because it's 1-0 it's less important' is way off the mark.

Nonsense.

Yes Chelsea were 1-0 up, but United just needed a draw to stay top. If there was some massive pro United conspiracy, don't you think that the officials would be doing everything in their power to help us equalise, and not in fact, needlessly contributing towards putting us to the sword?

I'm sure there are plenty of City fans who are embarrassed by this sort of utter tripe being spouted.
