PLs biggest games more than match any game in world football. I wonder if in Spain they let any tom dick and harry referee take control of El Classico. I suspect not. Go find out if you like
16 refs, 10 possible league games. 6 have to be left out, some are 4th officials, some in the Football League. However the really really bad refs, those that give imaginary goals on a number of occasions or allow beach balls to score are kicked out completely Essentially the system works.
If you just desperately don't want to admit the truth, then by all means keep ignoring the evidence. We all know that the England captain gets treated favourably and Ferguson won't have to put up with a ref that he's publicly criticised for important games. When you've got ex-officials telling you that's the case, then I'm not sure why you're arguing against it. Foy upset Ferguson. That's not in doubt. Foy hasn't taken charge of a League Two game since February 2008. That's not in doubt. That the two happen to coincide seems rather unlikely, doesn't it? When someone's reffed 159 games in a row without dropping down to that level and they're asked to do it the week after they piss off Ferguson, it just sounds silly when you claim it was his turn. Utterly transparent.
Evidence eh? Provide some please. Once you have please for the sake of the game take it to the relevant authorities and get this horrid corruption sorted. I mean you might have a point but you are just some guy on a forum making wild assumptions based on nothing bar a really really bad conspiracy theory. No journalist has found anything, and lets be honest a story like this would make a journalists career as it would be huge. Now of course there is the possibility that Fergie is far more powerful than we think, beyond the world of football and that he actually controls the world and perhaps the universe. Now this would explain why nobody has found any evidence of any wrong doing. Of course when I say evidence I mean 'evidence'. Not some crap that suits an agenda and can be disproved in a matter of seconds by anyone. I mean evidence of the unquestionable kind. Now that sounds a little far fetched to me, cant speak for you of course. So for something fishy to be going on with the number of people in the game and the people watching the chance of nobody coming forward is massive so the only logical explanation is to make this whole conspiracy even more crazy. While we are at it lets chuck in some lizard people, the US government, the Queen and little green men. Now its a conspiracy theory
If someone said Grass is Blue or the Sky is Red you'd believe it if it came from a United affiliate, UIR.
So you're sticking with your head in the sand stance, then? Can't say I'm surprised. You've utterly failed to disprove anything, by the way. The facts are that Foy upset Ferguson, by the manager's own admission and the next game that he's given is at a lower level than he's been at since February 2008. You may dismiss that as a coincidence, but the 159 games in between would suggest it's unlikely. Your claim that nobody's said anything is also untrue. As Notso's quote earlier clearly pointed out, Jeff Winter flagged up Ferguson's behaviour: “The FA is reticent to give Manchester United games to referees that Ferguson has criticized in the past”. That's exactly what people are saying, but you're attempting to turn it into a conspiracy theory, because it looks bad for your side if your strawman isn't accurate.
Ive disproved the whole thing, it was incredibly easy to do aswell. Ive also shown the Liverpool lads how the same theory can apply to them, I can do it for a number of clubs aswell. Its that ****ing easy. But of course if I was to tell a nutter who believed the US fired rockets into the WTC on 9/11 that the truth is a bunch of terrorists flew passanger planes into them he wouldnt believe me. He would claim he was right and that I had disproved nothing. I think you get my point now PNP. If you have any solid evidence then by all means give it to someone who can bust this wide open. It would be the right thing to do after all. Otherwise you are no different to every other crack point foil hat wearing weirdo who believe in all the crazy stuff they believe in.
You've disproved nothing, UIR. As I've already stated, you're arguing with facts by saying that you disagree and that they're a conspiracy theory. It's nonsensical.
What are these facts? You keep saying evidence and facts but dont actually provide an. Textbook CT behaviour PNP. By all means provide these facts though.
Cantona kicked a fan, which is both unprecedented and criminal, and Ferdinand missed a drugs test to go shopping. Really poor examples. You actually have a ref disagreeing with what you're saying and Graham Poll was quite straightforward in indicating that some teams do eliminate refs from their fixtures, too. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Poll-reveals-secrets-footballs-dark-arts.html 2. Do clubs influence refereeing appointments? My favourite venue to referee at was the Nou Camp, Barcelona. However, I only got to referee there once, in a Champions League quarter-final second leg which they lost to Juventus. No controversy, they just lost and over the next five seasons I was not invited to go back. Strange, that. EDIT: I also missed this one: 6. Don’t mess with the biggest teams — the Chairman says so One referee was officiating in Turin and sent two Juventus players off. Not just any players but Edgar Davids and Zinedine Zidane! As he went up the tunnel the club president approached him and told him that not only would he never referee his club again but that he would never referee in Italy again. So the opposition managers, players and fans are wrong and so are the refs themselves? Or...
Foy pissed off Ferguson. Foy is now refereeing at a level that he hasn't dropped to for over 4 years. I take it that you don't dispute either of those?
They are true but they dont seem to scream foul play. Or is that not what you are suggesting. What are you suggesting. That Foy is going to be refereeing in League 2 this weekend? I agree.
You keep taking this boring stance despite evidence being put in front of you...how about you specify exactly what you want, perhaps we'll find out if you know what you're talking about, you don't seem to so far...enlighten us, instead of these deadend questions.
Seems that way, doesn't it? For the first time in over 4 years and 159 games, following public criticism from Ferguson, who called his behaviour, "an insult to the game".
Just ignore him. He couldn't tell black from white if its United related. And I've no idea how he can be everywhere at once. I'm literally in "debates" with him on the Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea boards
Cool new concept called tabbed browsing. The future man. edit, there not debates when you are suggesting City fans are proper fans for not turning up to a CL game against the German Champions and that Fergie isnt one of let alone the best manager in english football. I mean thats just utter bullshit DL.
