Referees/Officials

[mainemanc1066]

It's the inconsistency that's so annoying. Anyone makes mistakes but u have mings and rojo comparison.... then Huddlestone red card compared to some of Rojo's tackles (again)... it's just terrible, from the same top class refs. Think the laws need reconfirming and they should use Tv whether refs have seen incident or not..... or players will continue to get riled up. I don't think It's never been as bad

Game gets faster and faster and players more devious

I don;t think City are penalised in comparison to say Arsenal or WBA, but everyone is in comparison to Man Utd. Everyone else is relatively worse off than them, and we feel it more cos they are our rivals. That's my opinion. I short, no bias against City, just bias in favour of Man Utd.

I know these can be a pain the arse on some things, but the ref analysis they do usually seems pretty good

"All of these decisions are potential game changers involving sending offs, penalties or goals. Arsenal have a net result of 27 such decisions against them in the 16 weeks, Man United have 22 in their favour and Tottenham have 10 in their favour."

Unbelievable!

Utd 11 points less if I recall correctly...

The football is fixed blog has a list of 100 matches that they claim were fixed in recent years. On that list are the two loses against Spurs and one to Chelsea:

54. Man City 1 Tottenham 2 (Feb 14th 2016) Premier League

61. Chelsea 2 Man City 1 (Oct 27th 2013) Premier League

72. Tottenham 4 Man City 1 (Sep 26th 2015) Premier League

I have a slight memory of the spurs matches being controversial because of the non-penalty spurs got and the rest of their goals were offside but were still allowed, am I correct?

I don't remember the other examples on the list since it's been a while

yep, the spurs home match in feb last year was clattenburg giving sterling handball that hit his back. the away was walker 5 yrds off side & kane offside from free kick

i think the chelsea away in 2013 was joe hart & nastasic fcuk up ? not sure about ref decisions

Hmmm.... If I recall correctly, in both of the spurs games we were denied clearcut penalties, am I still correct?

There are a number of questions that should be asked, and answered by the top people at the FA, Premiership, Referees and sky.
1, Is there any corruption within English football ?, and who would it benefit ?.
Yes. The scum, the candlefucks, the chavs, arses and spuds, and telly corps.
2, Are our Referees corrupt ?, is there any collusion ?, who would gain from this ?.
Yes. Yes. See above.
3, Why is the standard of match officiating so bad ?, and why do we accept this standard?.
Because they are instructed by the corrupt FA to do so. Dunno.
I know these questions will never be asked, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be asked.

I agree with this. Some of it also is indirectly in Utd's favour - a decision vs Spurs or Chelsea doesn't directly favour Utd, but it serves to keep City back. City being top dog in Manchester repeatedly makes spinning for Utd harder.

Anyone got any stats on how many MANUre players are NOT charged with offences for which other teams end up with a three or five match ban. I can think of five just of the top of my head! And that's only this season! Come to think a little harder, and that's just one player I'm thinking of!
