THat shouldn't have gone for us or against us.

For us was the penalty v hamburg, tho I didn't complain at the time as we were desperate.

Against has to be the red for Vinny last year and the pen against Micah in the cc semi.

Time added in the derby.

Urgh, and I could probably list a bunch more that all went against us, you don't tend to remember the ones you got in your favour.

We were lucky with the Balotelli stamp....

That time added one was a real travesty.The reasons given to justify it have been proven bogus time and time again since that game.

One good thing about it. Winning the QPR game/premiership in fergie time was soooooooo much sweeter.

alf fucking grey and alan fucking wilkie. Yes, I still remember and yes, it still fucking rankles.

A whole litany of ridiculous mune-favouring decisions from last season (or indeed any season you care to mention) spring to mind but I can't be arsed going over it all again.

This is true.

Two penalties denied in the first half away to Bayern. We would have gotten through the group if at least one of those were given.

Still picked up a ban for it....personally I wonder if stamping Scott Parker should be a ban or a medal.

First thing that came to mind was Alf Fucking Grey. Jan 1981? And it still baffles me. In fact it was two shit decisions in one game, both against us.

Oh and the penalty in the cup game at the sty when Rosler had us one up. Even more mystifying than Vinny's red card.

Wolves at home this season was the worst all round performance I can remember. Although the ref's name has left me! Was it Atwell? We won 3-0 and I remember leaving the stadium and everyone was still fuming about it.

I also remember being livid about that handball at Wigan away. The centre half just caught the ball that flying about 2 feet over his head preventing (iI think) Aguero running on to it. Anyone else remember that? Maybe i'd just had one too many!

Oh yeah, now I am fuming over that one. The most flagrantly biased refereeing I have ever seen. AND we still won.

3-1 and it was Atwell. He gave them every decision in the second half + a pen and a red card for Vinnie.

That Atwell/Wolves game and the one a few seasons ago where Clattenburg sent Bellamy off for being fouled (3-3 vs Bolton, from memory) are the worst two I can remember.

Kompany's red in the 2-3. Halsey awarding five minutes in the Gillingham game. Horlock for aggressive walking.

There was also a disallowed goal from Danny Tiatto that I didn't see live - he ran the length of the field and it was incorrectly disallowed, from memory? Can't place the year or the match - coverage in Australia wasn't anything like it is now.

The twat that allowed Crossby to head the ball out of Dibble's hands for a goal.

This and George Courtney's biased performance vs the Red Scousers at home the following season - disgraceful!!

There were so many Courtney decisions but I'm presuming you mean the one where he gave them 2 pens from 50 yards away & failed to send off Burrows for a blatant red card offence after sending off a player midweek for a lesser version of the exact same offence ?

There were scousers sat behind me in the North Stand one of whom actually said " I can't fucking believe this !", as a distant Courtney began his long jog toward the penalty area, finger of doom pointed at the spot.

I've also never seen a ref stare at the crowd defiantly like that as they booed him, before giving yet another horribly bent decision as if to say " have that y cunts, that's what i can do ". Totally corrupt.

Can't believe I forgot fergie time.

That one still sticks in my craw like an ostrich swallowing a dinner plate. I was at that one; it was a total disgrace - when the ref blew for a foul, after a nothing coming together, that nice Mr Keane strode toward him effing and blinding and then morphed into clapping the decision once he realised he'd given a penalty to the scum. Loads of blues threw pies against the windows of the scum executive boxes, and the pie juice obscured their view. It was teh only real impact we could have against biased shit like that.

Two slices of luck: Goater's handball goal against Wigan in play-offs and Jeff Whitley's handball in our area in extra time of the final.

The added-on time in the 2009 derby still riles me.
