This is what i mean. Dean gives Utd a very soft penalty because if he doesn't he knows he will be surrounded by rag players, have the media spotlight on him so takes the easy option and gives it. Same with that penalty v Sheff Utd. With us, we rarely moan about injustice, we rarely surround the ref, the decisions are ignored largely by the press so the ref takes the easy way out and does not award us anything. You only have to look at the stats for the last few seasons where we have the least amount of free kicks awarded, every game we have the majority of possession but seem to commit twice the fouls, often guaranteed to get the 1st yellow of the game and these non decisions now cannot simply be errors as its happening way too often for that. I liked the fact we had the holistic approach and did not behave like certain other teams but its done us no favours at all and is actually hindering us and its about time, even if behind closed doors, the club asked the FA for some explanations of the decisions.
The Sheff Utd pen was a soft decision, whilst he went down like a sack of shit the defender was stoods up kicks him in the shin and gets nowhere near the ball? Come on sort your blinkers out.
The rest I couldn't agree more though, we need to be bell ends on the pitch, appeal everything and make them fear us
