United 2016/17

That so called "corruption" is OK as it went in our favour.

You clearly don't understand what happened in 2011/12. Sheikh Mansour and his advisers were made aware of an organised attempt to deny us the title and took steps to counter it. Why do you think Peter Walton suddenly disappeared to the USA mid-season and Lee Mason was removed from our games on two occasions when he was down to referee them?

In that 2011/12 run-in, the rags had an extremely dodgy penalty decision go in their favour against Fulham. Either they were awarded one they shouldn't have been or Fulham were denied a stonewaller.

And they got one against QPR they should never have got, with QPR being reduced to ten men after a dive by Ashley Young.

I reckon our two young wingers will receive the Hazard, SWP, Petrov treatment, with different rags taking turns to hack them down, so that none of them receives a yellow,

Going by the refereeing in our games this season, they won't need to take turns.

I can see it being a game where one team doesn't end the game with 11 men. Rojo and Aguero will have a running battle and I imagine Screech will be jumping up for headers with his elbows out.

So why didn't we go public and explode the myth if we had evidence?

Thought it was Wigan that were denied an absolute stonewaller and beat them 1-0 anyway?

It was Fulham at the swamp.

Danny Murphey was wrestled in the box. It was alleged Red Webb shouted No penalty as Mike Dean was going to give itfrom his vantage point of 4th official.

We gave it to the people that needed it. Why do you think Mike Riley hot-footed it up to the Etihad to do his Q&A?

I'm so naive and you both keep watching a so called corrupt league LOL. Why not make a stand and call it a day instead of being complicit and giving them your money?

Funny I work with a Everton fan and he thinks we're in the list of clubs that get dodgy decisions!

I suppose the RAGS beat Chelsea yesterday down to the ref, nothing to do we Chelsea being dogshit!

Well the first goal is down to the ref. Changes the whole dynamic of the game. But Chelsea being dogshit doesn't help.
Trouble is no one can really say how a game would have gone if the handball had been given. Bit like our non penalty at Everton.
But goals do change games and these decisions can go a long way to HELP results. God ! have we had some dodgy ones,
this season.

I've no reason to believe the info you have isn't correct, however if we had this "silver bullet" why has nothing changed?

I agree the ref's decision was poor for the first goal but so was Luis' positioning to give Rashfoot a clear run on goal. Drop off a couple of yards and it's a much more difficult chance.
Do you really think on the balance of play the Rags deserved to lose?
