Thats because the ex united players have proper jobs"Banter" or not, accusing the referees of corruption is pretty fecking low. Lovely to see a panel of 2 ex Liverpool players and a former City player in the Studio too.
Yep but I wouldn't mind Carragher as he's open about his bias and to be fair criticises Liverpool when due. Souness I have no problem with I think he's balanced also but Redknapp is a joke and only praises united if they have been beaten."Banter" or not, accusing the referees of corruption is pretty fecking low.

Started doing that a couple of years ago whenever I watched the match by myself - and I've been sticking to it ever since. Highly recommend it.I've just completely stopped watching pundits on all channels, no build up, half time I go make a tea, full time I turn it off.
Refreshing.
What else is he implying?"accusing the referees of corruption"
It's a feckin joke!What else is he implying?
Oh come on. It's a joke. He's playing on the fact a lot of people within football felt referees were intimidated by Ferguson and hence, gave United favourable treatment. I've heard a few pundits/commentators make similar jokes. Lighten up.What else is he implying?

Exactly. I don't see Neville baiting or criticizing refs.I think it was a joke but it's poor from Carragher as a high profile pundit, officials are under enough pressure as it is. Oliver is usually good but he's young and today looked a bit out of his depth.
Again that's implying corruption. He works in the media as an objective pundit it for Sky, he already spends half of MNF comparing things to his time at Liverpool, he needs to drop the bias.Oh come on. It's a joke.

It's not implying corruption. It's suggesting referees felt under more pressure when officiating during Manchester United games, particularly at Old Trafford, and that if affected their performance. Either way, it's just a joke, and I've not seen it even make the tabloids yet and they love whipping up a little shit-storm.Exactly. I don't see Neville baiting or criticizing refs.

It stinks of a 'let's look for ways to be offended' thread.Can't believe there is a thread for this
Perhaps not the day to trumpet that opinion when Oliver fails to give 3 increasingly nailed-on pens.They're cheeky bastards that lot in the sky studio having this delusional belief that the referees favour us. Utter rubbish and it's about time this nonsense was brought to an end.
