Standard of Refereeing

By hook or by crook the PL will get MU into the top 5, it stinks!

I'd blotted out all perception of football after Friday so I've only just seen that, and that is a fucking unbelievable decision that if we had a functioning media would've set off an actual inquest. Like, what? What???

The silence is deafening.

It was pretty mindblowing when I watched on TV in real time and couldn't believe that there was absolutely no pushback from anyone; even CP players seemed so shocked that they offered little in the way of dissent.
After our reffing decisions vs Everton and Forest, in particular, it's hard not to feel somewhat aggrieved! And, when we watch players grappling with each other at corners (a la Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks), the LaCroix 'brush' with Cunha is even more bizarre.

I was out running and listening to the Utd game on Talksport. The pundits all said it was definitely a penalty and sending off. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when watching it back last night. It may not be corruption, but only a few teams would get that decision. Funny how Utd happened to be 1-0 and struggling at the time it happened.

And the same with p.lop - they dont seem to fussed about Chelsea but i think that is that they dont like their owners and just like City are only where they are due to years of money thrown at them.

Bet they are gutted Spurs are so shit though

[Paul.S]

That old saying of things even themselves out over a season has never been proven more wrong.

Absolutely, the wrestling match at Arse v chelsea yesterday was just ridiculous.

Too many of these decisions are always falling for the shitty 6, and particularly Man U.

Why don’t they just let AI ref the games from now on?  I’m sure it would do a better job than Chris Kavanagh.  It is getting worse by the week isn’t it? I’m not just imagining it am I?  The Burnley disallowed goals were incredibly bad as well.

I had the misfortune to be a passenger in a car listening to Talk Sport. It was horrendous, talking about how great Man Utd are, if they had Carrick from the start they would be contenders and the penalty was as clear a penalty as you will ever see and there would be no complaints from anyone regarding the decision.

With the unbiased man united nob jockey Alex Crook.

Except AI would just work off learned experience and it would provide us with the same problem 100% of the time.

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking pathetic.

[Villa in Denmark]

Fucking pathetic.

Utterly fucking meaningless. Doesn't help Palace, us or any of the other teams aiming for top 5.

Here's sn idea Howard. Employ some refs who aren't total bleeding cucks to the favoured few.
