My comments are restricted to your statement that Atkinson has "helped" us in the past. He has never helped anyone except Utd in his whole career, except by making blunders. My complaint about Atkinson covers a series of blunders in this game, not one tackle. At least we can agree he totally bottled / stuffed up the Matic incident, and the punishment for our team is way OTT for the crime.

Sounding a bit crazy there CP.
The punishment was not for "your team", it was for the player and his violent reaction. Reactions like this will always be a red card regardless of team or player (and yes, Jose was right Barnes should have gone for the studs on Ivan).

There it is and with it goes any credibility you once had. Shame.

I'll let others on this board judge my credibility as they have previously judged yours. Your judgement counts for zip with me.

Sorry I am coming across this way, but on topic which is Atkinson, I stand by my opinion that his refereeing has seen a red , possibly 2 red card offender get off scott free, an understandably outraged Chelsea player red carded, our team denied 2 crystal penalties, our team having to play 3 matches without our most influential player, and 2 crucial points dropped. On this occasion lets agree to disagree, as I do like your posts and opinions.

Fair enough as you seem to have lost the plot! Quite the mini-meltdown!
 
Wonders why grown men still play the I got the last word so I won the argument rubbish. Every other reader can see where the discussion should of stopped and when a comment is purely petty and one of you can now you can still delete a comment and achieve some credibility. Or not I don't give a monkeys. * hopes this is the last word on things please please please*
 
You don't understand. This isn't about football it is about me being right and better than everyone else. Why can't you plebs see that!
