http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/59215-How-many-points-do-referees-hand-Utd-each-season And we get called sore losers
It's not bitter. It's common knowledge. Although I don't see the need to write an article about it. It's a bit like stating water is wet.
Common Knowledge? Like the world being flat then? For the record its a load of bollocks. In terms of dodgy decisions United come about 7th in the league. Arsenal come top but being almost entirely none english this isnt surprising. Like much of Europe they spend their time cheating. Arsenal also have the best penalty record.....most of which were highly debatable. Everton and Chelsea concede the least penalties. Man Utd score the most late goals......as we dont give up like other clubs. Arsenal have one of the worst discipline records and by far the worst of the top 4.
All of the top teams get decisions, pressure on a ref causes them too and well some refs are just dirty. I think the problems with reffing are not clubs paying them off ect, for the most part.. cant be certain I suspect club owners and betting syndicates are whats affecting results. Referees ae human and can be as biased as the next man too. Some are just not good at their job and look dirty, Clutterbug? Take Mr Styles, on the board of the company that took a nice lump of cash to concrete RAs driveway and the following year Chelsea get an outlandish penalty when they were losing 1 0. The stamp against Liverpool that was a straight red and just ignored, really dodgy, Essiens tackle on hamann red ban, no not for Chelsea. I think RA has more than meddled with officials, someone like him likes to try to guarentee success he didn't get where he is by playing FAIR oh and now that football has become a corporate\rich boy toy, we know these guys do not play fair
Maybe we should get that show Mythbusters to debunk the myth that United get handed loads of points every year.
BringBackfootie, your signiture doesn't show any obsessions what so ever. Man Utd are just lucky bastards in general, not because of referees. Chelsea are much worse when it comes to these sort of things.
United : 29 - 16 Chelsea : 32 - 14 Arsenal : 32 - 25 Liverpool : 27 - 19 City : 27 - 22 Spurs : 27 - 26 Penalty stats for last 5 seasons.
1 penalty in how many years at OT there a while ago, 2 years was it? Also, United arent just given penalties for the hell of it, they always seem to be at crucial times. Always dodgy pens at crucial tmes, blackburn last season fits right in with that trend. Several absolute certainties denied opposition playing united this season that gained united points, 2 down to Blackpool was it or wolves and ye should have been 3 down and came back to 2 2, big help from the ref. All teams get it, but with ye it is often influencing the title race, thats what pisses people off, it is one thing not getting a decision like offside, it is quite another to be awarded a penalty for nothing like at spurs, wasn't that webb too, man hes stinking corrupt it would be bitter to say ye are winning because of it, I am not saying that at all. I am saying ye've had help when it was sorely needed, asked for or not
A typical case of a rival fan seeing what they want to see. The penalty at Blackburn was as blatent as you can get, the goalkeeper clearly fouled Hernandez but because it's Man Utd rival fans are still crying about it. Had that been up the other end they would be screaming blue murder for a penalty. The ref didn't give Blackpool a penalty for a foul by Rafael and referees also haven't given Man Utd a penalty for identical incidents against them, but guess which one people still harp on about. People come out with this constant ****e about Webb being a Man Utd fan conveniently forgetting the number of things he let Chelsea get away with at Old Trafford.
Really? i think they are two choice quotes Ones I had forgotten since I put them on my sign in a spur of the moment bit of craic. Thansk for reminding me to read them again Looks like the obscession is ok your part there m'lad. @MUFC Jimbo that one could go on all year, never mind all week. we''ll leave that well alone alone I am of the opinion that the refereeeing in the premiership needs severe scrutiny. There are a surprising amount of last minute changes, some seasons I've read up to nearly 25% of games have last minute changes to officials. Live PPV games that is
I htink it a little naieve that there is no interference in such high money stakes. Every major sport if up to its eyes in cash and inevitably we know what comes with large amounts of cash flowing around. Madrid, stinking of it. AC Milan berlusconi owns them, need I say more So top two clubs in terms of success in their countries, are known to be filthy ethically. what about germany and what about England, the lord stevens bung thing , outcome.. our national game was not tarnished to the world, complete joke, there wasn't one single bit of wrong doing it seems, just some adjustments of how things should be done needed? When you see the ovbious corruption at FIFA which is obviously the very tiny tip of a massive iceberg, with a country quite openly able to buy a world cup in a fking desert where qatar will probably win because all the other teams died from heat exaustion, you can only imagine what happens at club level FKING Seriously, Qatar's zillionaires folk bought a fking world cup to play in their back yards, thats what it is like
