Dunno why people are complaining at the lack of transfer activity on our side. Riley to The Top is a massive, massive transfer and a very good move by Ferguson.

Not sure the Scousers are happy about this, though.

He robbed us against Everton didn't he ?

fecking woeful ref.

Old mother Riley.

'Red Riley' or so he was dubbed by the media. Ever since Allardyce (pretty sure it was) in around 2006 questioned the amount of penalties he had given us previously, he had been hell bent on NOT giving anything.

The Welbeck pen in the Semi last season was ridiculous.

Wonderful move by Fergie. I can't think of a better use for the £80million. Number four here we come, thankyou very much

Indeed. 'Decisions' Like this by the corrupt FA are a big reason why I won't be bothering to watch their WWF 'Harlem-Globe Trotter'-like rigged games.

26 Points last season for Manchester United - awarded by incorrect favourable decisions by referees. Surely it can't be more than that this season.

what a complete prick

what a complete prick

Spurs - Carrick penalty...................Only one that comes to mind. So 2 points. Love scouse mathematicians.

Well, there was the Bolton penalty as well. Still, they probably treat every correct decision that goes our way (the Stoke red card, the Macheda 'foul' on Giggs's goal at Middlesbrough) as a gift.

what a complete prick

nah he´s an unsatisfactory crap

 

[Alwyn]

This equal opportunies thing is getting a bit ridiculous now, giving someone who can get severe temporary visual impairity the job as chief of an organisation within which clear sight is tantamount to its existence. Oh dear.

 

[Ballache]

what a complete prick

so according to him we should have been fighting with Fulham for a Europa leafue spot?

 

[DiaboliQue]

fecking hell, how is it possible that one of the worst referees in the history of this game gets such an important position?

I hate the cnut.

 

[Bearded but no genius]

Jesus Christ.

Now he'll be desperate to "show" be isn't biased towards us in this position...

Jesus Christ.

Red fecking Mike. A horrible ref with no guts whatsoever who lacked any bottle the moment anyone started calling him names.

 

[vanthaman]

atleast Rob Styles has also retired

just need Bennett to retire now

Mike Riley announces he will step down as the head of PGMOL after 13 years

He is expected to announce this person as his successor to continue his fantastic work in implementing VAR in the Premier League:

Next summer? Why wait.

He's been a total disaster, not just VAR, some referees seem unfit, too old, should be mandatory retirement.

Standard of officiating is awful.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Howard Webb to replace him. Glad we've finally made a signing
