I am really surprised that posters have not gone back to quote that 'looong' but very interesting article on page 29 of the conspiracy thread. In summary part of it was evidencing what had happened to the 4 referees that officiated the 4 league losses in the 2010/11 season. After serving a period of penance - and perhaps having to take several aptitude test set by that arch scum sycophant that heads the PMGO, probably assessed against the role model that is webb - they have come back to work hard at their rehabilitation and earn some acceptance by baconface again.......
The relevant part is:
"To resume, we’ve just analyzed what happened to the 4 referees that officiated United’s 4 league losses in the 2010/11 season. 2 of them were not given any more United league games for a full year (Atkinson and Foy), a third for 9 months (Oliver). 2 of those referees gave United penalties in the very next game (Foy and Dowd) they took charge of and one refused to give a blatant one to the opponents (Oliver). Martin Atkinson, was not given premier league games to officiate for an entire month and assigned to 3 lower league games.
I also looked at Mike Jones after prompting from the comments board. Jones refereed the 1-1 home draw with Newcastle last season and falsely awarded Demba Ba a penalty.
Subsequently, Jones was not given a single football game, at ANY level, to referee for an entire month. The next United game he was handed came a few months later, the 2-0 home win against Stoke which saw… You guessed it: 2 penalties awarded to Manchester United which, according to reports, were “very soft”.
How about Mark Halsey? Well, when he gave WBA a debatable penalty in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in May 2005 it was his 5th United game that season. He then also went an ENTIRE YEAR without being given any United games to referee. From 5 games in a season to none for a year. His
record since then? He’s refereed 11 Man Utd games which have seen 11 United wins: the latest coming at Anfield, where 3 controversial decisions went the away team’s way.
In terms of trends, considering what we discovered about Alan Wiley and Mark Clattenburg (whose record with no United games to referee now stands at 36 league games since he took charge of the 6-1 home loss to City).............."
Of course this was Twattenburg's first game back in charge of a scum match. Now of course people might have read that article and dismissed it as paranoia - but the comments were actually factually - and as Chelsea did not give the chance for penalties to be awarded - perhaps Twattenburg took the next best action?
Just sayin
For me it is not just the 'individual merits' of each action it is something in his style that betrays things. E.G.
1/ he could not have failed to see the Silva penalty but he was instantly dismissing it
2/ the penalty against us probably did require some 'thinking about' - but he 'lept on the opportunity'
3/ similar in the way he dismissed the penalty against the rags - and even sending Evans off he looked like he was going to choke as he realised that he simply had no choice - he was much quicker to act yesterday!!
Unless he has been stupid and shot himself in the foot - I bet he does not wait another year to officiate his next scum game!! What odds the 2 derbies - Webb and Twattenburg?
