Shocking refereeing bias towards Man Utd

They're all a bunch of ridiculous glory seekers and probably all a touch foreign too.

 

Yeah but United fans will just bring up that Giggs penalty from 3-4 years ago that they didn't get against Blackburn or Wigan or someone.

 

Di matteo just said that he agrees with the Ivanovic sending off, but as I said the other 2 we got lucky

 

Only reasonable Manc on here

 

not only man utd fans but foreigners too
Are you Terry in disguise?

 

I'm glad fans from other clubs pick up on the dodgy decisions. If it were just us it wouldn't have much credibility - but it's beyond a joke now.

I mean we are away from home, 2-0 up, then 2-2, we get a legit goal and its cancelled out. They go away from home, go 2-0 up, 2-2, score an offside goal and its given.

Classic really. Coupled with the dodgy decision over Torres its quite frustrating.

For me the bias was without a doubt there when Owen scored that winner in the 150th minute a year or two back.

Frustrating. The officials don't hesitate to give them decisions, whilst they're dieing to kick us when we're (Liverpool) down.

The rest of the league suffers generally too.

 

No, i'm just playing to the stereotype that a lot of ManUre fans are foreign glory seekers. Look, i apologise, i was just pissed off. Sorry if i offended you.

Why are you touchy about it anyway, aren't you a spurs fan?

 

Just the foreigner thing mate ... pisses me off ...

I was a bit surprised to be honest cos you have always come across well ... takes a good bloke to realise that they made a mistake...I should know ... i make a shed load of them!!!!!

I tend to stay away from the Man utd decision debate...It makes me remember THAT goal and various non penalties...and I end up sitting in a corner rocking like the bloke at the end of Psycho

 

You can't legislate for what happened out there today. It was clear no matter what we did the playing field wasn't level. It was swimming against the current throughout.

It's not so much the red cards that worried and angered me it was the constant fouling. Numerous times Mata and Ramires were fouled on the edge of the area and nothing given.

The best part for me was Ramires breaking in a 4 v 3 attack, fouled by Carrick 10 mins and not even a yellow card in what was the most cynical foul you will see.

I could take it if we lost like that to Arsenal or Spurs because as much as I hate them more, the playing field is level so I can sleep knowing it was a mistake

 

Yeah people can forgive the odd mistake which you hope will be cancelled out over the season. But nobody likes being shafted which you, and us again, were today.

Lets see if Arsenal get any this next weekend.

 

Speaking of Ramires, I thought he looked really good today, made some really good forward runs.

 

Chelsea have lodged an official complaint against Clattenberg, but not for him being hopeless. Sounds like he's used innapropriate language towards players.

 

The ball came of a QPR player, or at least a QPR player hit Ramsey and it bounced. Technically, it should count.

But as Man Utd fan, I wouldn't look for refereering mistakes for other teams.

Well next week we will get the token red card and penalty against us anyway...

 

do we know this already? If so, why does he get so many of their games?

 

No, we don't know, it's just he hasn't reffed a United game for a while, so i fear he will be wheeled out to ensure a victory. Unless he does the league cup game between United and Chelsea.

 

No, it shouldn't. The ball touched Ramsey, so Arteta's offside.
"A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play."

 

Rich title from offside goal to given off side 1-0 arse

 

To be honest I don't buy all this biased ref stuff. It all evens out. At the end of the season the team at the top deserves the trophy, simple as that. The PL is too complicated and random to attempt to control anything, just a combination of ref incompetence and bad luck.

 

Bias does not equal a random mistake.

 

The difference is when it happens at Arsenal at least football fans can accept its a genuine mistake
