A rag hating mate of mine sent it me...no idea where he got it from though.

Can't vouch for this site Freshie but there's an article about it here

United wouldn't be challenging for top four with a trophy in hand if it wasn't for refs.

Brilliant effort to get them swampies over the line - sometimes it's just not your day. Poor Kevin, no friends at all now!

The main point there being 'Challenging for the top 4', how low does that sound for a club like the Rags. They must all be delirious with the performances they've shown and the fact they haven't lost in, well, any game at all.

Wonderfully brilliant I may say, others would just say they're shit. They have all the calls but are still 6th, with all those above still to play. How bad is that for the most expensive squad in modern football?

The officials are helping them a lot as usual and Friend did try his best today but just not enough.

By the sound of it Friend did us a favour as he seemed to piss Bournemouth off that much that it some them from their daze.

What's that, 17 offside goals in their favour, at least 7 reds not given and they're still in 6th?

Add madley bottling it at candlepool they really do follow orders from the FA

Just watching MotD. Our favourite Altrincham fan was at it again. The Burnley player handled the ball by sticking his arm out. Swansea asked for handball, so he gave Burnley a penalty. Shocking decision. Even more shocking is how this cheat still manages to referee at the highest level

I couldn't be bothered to watch MOTD tonight NB, but who were the empty headed 'experts' in the studio and what did they say about the Ibrahimovitch situation ??

If the odious Slimeball Shearer was on, I could well imagine he followed the Party line and exonerated the Swedish Scumbag....either that, or he got splinters in his posterior, sitting on the fence ??

Keown and Murphy. Both saying there surely has to be retrospective action

To be fair to MoTD they said Mings wasn't looking at Ibra, so it didn't look intentional, but Ibra was pure revenge. They showed the earlier stamp by Ibra as well. The conclusion was that the elbow was pure intention and needed retrospective action.

Any chance Trevor Sinclair doing motd2 tonight? I'm sure he won't fail to give a good honest opinion on the favouritism the rags are getting from the ref again.

Agenda, mate.

Well set agenda.

Ready?

Perfectly good goal ruled out

Raheem was offside. He wasn't interfering till his collision took out thier defender and left silva one on one. I think that was the correct call.

That said if if was against us I'd have no doubt it would stand.

We've had at least one goal scored against us this season where our keeper was obstructed by an opposition player in an offside position. I can't remember which match it was though - I think it was during Bravo's 'stint' in goal.

That's a fair point.


But it would be a free out then? Lino gave it as silva offside iirc?
