Martin Atkinson

Why didn't he check the Pogba one on the screen?
 
The Chelsea fan was awful today but so were we sadly
 
It's his last year surely although looking at him he must be lying about his age
 
That flying elbow to Rashford's head that wasn't even a foul might be worse than anything involved with the penalty. He was so close to it, looked at it, waved play on.
 
A self confessed Leeds United supporter shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a Manchester United game
 
I'm not moaning about the result of today's game but it beats me how that thing is still reffing top games.
 
He's not the reason we lost today, but what an awful decision that penalty was. The retake was ridiculously harsh too.

Legit not even a card, went down holding his head and no nothing not worth stopping play!
 
Has the rules on hand ball changed ? That pen decision was one of the worst hand ball decisions I've ever seen in my life . Var is ruining football it's a complete and utter farce

Yeah. The new rule is idiotic. Not Atkinson’s fault tbf. Just a stupid rule change.

That's up there with one of the worst hand ball decisions I've ever seen in my life . Then that fecking var bullshit cause DeGeas heel was a cm of the line .
I don't even want to watch football anymore it's ruining the game
 
Leeds fan Atkinson has always been a cheat. Stand outs have been shafting us at Chelsea on numerous times, costing us the treble in 2008 against Portsmouth in the FA Cup. The initial penalty decision and the re-take were both appalling. Nothing done about Ward's elbow on Rashford's head. That fat f*ck Moss was on the VAR tonight, so every decision he was involved would go against us.
 
There are some inept refs in the league that just seem to make a mess of games more often than not due to them simply being bad, but Atkinson is the only one I feel like I can say with some confidence is actually out to screw us over every chance he gets. His list of offences is getting too long now for it to be a coincidence, and he actually seems like a somewhat competent ref when I watch his games featuring other teams. At least with the shite ones there's a chance they're going to feck it up in our favour.
 
The worst thing was that there was a similar one in the Arsenal game rightly not given.
 
Souness raised an interesting point....what are the chances he gives that in a full stadium?
 
He is just one of those refs that lkes the spotlight to be on him. Bit of a knob.
Would be less annoying if he applied his decisions evenly, see Pogba pen for example.

He bottled the Pogba decision and pulled it back for the Fernandes foul instead, even though there was a fraction of a second between them. Easier for him to give a free kick than a penalty.

He's just a shit referee, always has been, always will be.
