Ref's do their best, Linesman do their best but at Sunday league level to Premiership level, mistakes are always made. It's always going to happen.
In reality, whatever way people want to look at it, there is little bias. (at times, some Ref's are worried of making a big call at big places) I certainly never even believe for a moment, Ref's prefer some clubs to other clubs but psychologically, things can have an effect, but bad decisions happens to all teams. United have got some obvious decisions, made more clear by every single fan because it's United. No one really bought up fuss about Blues offside/handball goal to equalize in the dying minutes. I've also seen plenty of big penalty shouts go against them, simply because they are winning games 3/4-0, I remember watching the Blackburn game..(7-1) on a stream and there were a couple pretty blatent penalty shouts turned down. Who mentions them? No one. Of course at times, Ref's don't want to give certain decisions if they can help it because they don't want to be absolutely anilihiated, that's wrong but I certainly don't believe any Ref goes out with the intention of choosing a team over another.
Tony Pulis annoys me, goes on about constant decisions against Stoke, yet Stoke beat Villa earlier in the season because of Jermaine Pennant winning a free-kick through a clear dive where our player didn't even make a tackle or contact with the player. He didn't mention that did he?
No referee is going to be faultless, who in their job is faultless, one that is so quickly paced and takes split second decisions.
Some Ref's have terrible games, some have great games, some have decent games but only terrible games and terrible decisions are pointed out and decisions inside or outside the box, are no different.
A player dives outside the box, ref gives a free-kick....only decision he gets wrong all game....the Ref has been pretty good...
a player dives inside the box, ref gives a penalty....only decision he gets wrong all game...the Ref was shit, cost us the match.
In reality, Ref's just try do their jobs, very tough one's in the Premier League, probably the toughest league to do because the pace and intensity. They make some howlers, sometimes psychologically, they approach games wrong but bias towards certain sides is not something I go with, or else I wouldn't watch football.
All in all, they make bad calls but they still are a helluva lot better at what they do than most who give it a go. There really does need to be some sort of system to try and get ex players into refereeing.
