I'm thinking it is corrupt

[Latics Fan SJK]

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?

Why do you care? Seriously?

Because I like discussing football on a good football forum. Is that difficult to grasp or something?

Or am I taking the wrong side? Should I have said it was offside because I am indeed on a City forum?

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.

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.....

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.

United only scored due to a Macheda handball, so would have still lost 1-0 anyway.

Everyone in football knows that Man Utd get the majority of refereeing decisions. It follows from the size of the club.

Liverpool benefited from the same effect with Kop End attracting a large number of soft penalties.

Maybe in time it will benefit us, but at the moment it's intensely frustrating to see them benefit on an almost weekly basis.

City could make a big deal of this and pressurise the ref before and during games. Mario makes the most of any contact, but very few other City players do. Perhaps they should. Watch Rooney whenever a Utd player goes down, he's immediately reffing the game. It works.

You're right JMW - Macheda's goal should have definitely been disallowed. All i'm putting forward is that if the officiating is so 'pro-United' why was Drogba's offside goal given which was prior to the incorrect Macheda goal?

 

[Soulboy]

Didn't the rags equalise that day with an absolutely blatant handball by Marcheda?

Or are the rags bleating that they didn't get ALL the decisions that day?

A bit like camelgob Ferdinand today tweeting that "it's all swings and roundabouts and evens itself out over the season".... but the ugly **** wasn't saying that when Newcastle got a dodgy penalty at the swamp, did he?

No he was fucking apoplectic about the injustice of it all!

Hypocritical twats.

That's bizarre logic.

If Chelsea don't go 2-0 up, different things would have happened in the game and things could have panned out very differently. It may have ended up 2-0 Chelsea anyway, or 1-1. We'll never know.

But to assume that if Chelsea didn't go 2-0 up through that offside goal, that Macheda would have still handled the ball 10mins later, so that cancels it out, is flawed logic.

Because every comment I've seen you make is defending United and having a go at City fans. Not too sure why an Oldham fan would be that bothered. I think you're a rag pretending to be a neutral, but I'm not particularly arsed either way. Interestingly two of the decisions put forward to disprove refereeing bias (penalty v Newcastle and offside v Chelsea) were actually made by the Referee's Assistant.......

it evened itself out, you can't complain, you deservedly lost and pulled it back within like 2 minutes so still had plenty of time to get back level.

Are you fucking still here ?

This thread smells so bad I'm gagging. Can't believe any Blues are indulging these obsessed little rags on half term.

Spot on,call it cheating, professionalism or whatever you like but referees fall for this a lot.You can guarantee that when our players cotton on to doing this united fans and the media will be bleating about it even though united have mastered this long ago.
