United Thread 2015/16

Not as convinced about that.

Cast your mind back to the number of very soft penalties they got.

Not as convinced about that.

Suarez not getting a second yellow for diving in the area with the score at 2-2 despite a free kick being given by Clattenburg?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Fucking hell, you can see the ref lubing up in the back ground. Shocking.

He was unable to shove the whistle into his mouth any quicker. Couldn't fucking wait.

Once again Sly Sports News devotes the first 10 minutes of their programme to Van Gaal's Weekley press conference.

Later on Mauel get's less than 30 seconds to tell Toure to concentrate on City and the title before a possible move in the Summer.

The Sly Sports News and United partnership is so obvious.

Yeah, but subjectivity enters into that equation. Those were decisions based around different individuals. For a number of weeks, Young's diving became accentuated and a significant number of comical and important penalties were awarded as a result. In any other industry, where information is exchanged between people within that sphere, such a course of events would never have happened, unless it was bent.

united were getting decision after decision which related to a player who had been exposed as a cheat. That extends beyond subjective interpretation, into the realms of the farcical.

To my mind there is no other logical explanation for that other than corruption, whereas I don't hold that view about the decisions in 2014.

I don't normally get swept away with any prevailing tide of bent refereeing sentiment, but there's no doubt in my mind that united were getting a helping hand to retain the title in the early spring of 2012.

Weren't Fulham denied a stone-wall penalty at the swamp at 0-1 during that run-in?

Suarez not getting a second yellow for diving in the area with the score at 2-2 despite a free kick being given by Clattenburg?

As I've said it's not an irreconcilable pattern, unlike 2012.

Plus, in all fairness, he did give the free kick and not the penalty, unlike some of the comical Young decisions in 2012.

Had to refresh my memory. It wasn't Hill who was sent off after Ashley Young's dive, it was Derry.

Here's what the BBC report said:

QPR's Shaun Derry was harshly sent off for fouling Ashley Young, who was offside, before Rooney fired home.

No reference to a blatant act of cheating.

And Suarez was a bastion of correctness? There were a number of penalties that were dubious IMO and undoubtedly a collective will for them to win the title.

I expect nothing less from the bbc where the rags are concerned
