thought that i'd start a thread in which we could log all the dodgy decisions that go/have gone against us this season...

the off side last minute winner scored by sunderland
the blatant penalty for the foul on silva not given vs chelsea
kompany's tackle vs them
the penalty given against micah vs the dippers
the penalty not given for the foul on edin vs the dippers
balo's onside goal vs wba that wasn't given
one (or was it two?) penalties not given early on away at bayern
barry's double booking vs the dippers
balo's red vs the dippers

please add others that i've missed...

I must needs specs ... I see no OFFICIAL stars!!!

Kolorov's 'booking' v the dippers

changed as requested... x

Pen against Scum when the best english defender hand was all over the ball, at 2-3.

So it's cost us at least 6 points (roughly calculated) and and undeserved exit from 3 cups. We are seriously being fucked over here

We should log the dodgy ones which go in our favour in order to make a fair comparison.

So there's Mario's non red card & ....erm...

Good point Ted .. Newcastle should of had a pen against us early in the season as should of the rags in the cup game (Foy obviously felt guilty about the sending off)

For fairness, you can only really do this unless you also show what we have got away with over the course of the season, admittedly we focus much more on the negatives that go against us, rather than anything we get away with.

For starters I seem to recall 2 Penalties that should have been given agains us, and I think Lescott was nearly responsible for them both.

I'm almost certain we have scored one or two offside goals aswell....

Would be intersting to see if these things even themselves out over the season.... although I struggle to see how being knocked out of 2 domestic cups unfairly could possibly be balanced out!

To be a fair comparison, they would have to be nailed on penalties not given rather than so so, as we have had loads of 60 40 decisions not given. The recent stuff is all absolutely blatantly obvious & the rags' pen (Kolarov) falls into that catagory tbf.

I metioned on here a while ago, that this type of shit usually starts when the games get crucial. That's where the rags & Liverpool have traditionally benefitted from scandalous reffing help. Sometimes early season, it's swings & roundabouts. It's when they really need them, that the refs kick in.

I've always said that's pretty much the case.. so I hope we can come up with a comprehensive list of dodgy decisions both ways

Edin fouled in the run up to fulham's equaliser.
