Another reason to miss Fergie.

Refs seem to feck us over so much lately.

 

[Snow]

This thread is the equivalent of looking at instagram photos of your ex. No good will come of it.

I was thinking that, since Fergie the refs haven't given us anything.

 

[Wumminator]

Tonight we played a team who overall have spent 3 million pounds.

To put that in perspective, for the amount we spent on Pogba, we could have signed all their summer signings 33 times over.

Please...please let us blame the ref.

This is about the season, not tonight. But please continue your meltdown.

Meltdown?

There's one person embarrassing themselves here mate.

Yes, it's the guy who completely misinterpreted the reason for the thread.

 

[Rossa]

What bothers me is referees letting lesser teams go way too hard into tackles and get away with it time and time again. Their fullback could easily have seen a second yellow today - well he should. And how that centre back of theirs didn't get a yellow for simply plowing through Rashford at every goddamn opportunity is a travesty. Refs need to start paying attention to foul play like that.

 

[Rightnr]

Joke of a performance from the ref today. I said the same about the Chelsea game. These refs need to allow teams to play football, not rugby on the pitch.

 

[VanGaalEra]

OP updated.

Might as well just leave Oliver in there as a main heading for the whole season.

 

[Stan Jefferson]

I like how every time somebody complains about anything after a loss some tit comes along as if everybody is saying it was the only reason we lost. It is possible to be pissed off at a shite refereeing display (again) and still retain perspective on the overall picture.

 

[tomaldinho1]

We deserved to lose given how bad we played but Oliver is a tool. That booking for Fellaini was just pure incompetence and in general was just a bag of shit.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Still waiting for something to go our way.

 

[Fitchett]

That's three games running now where we've not played well, but we've had some real sh*t decisions against us. With a decent ref in all three of those games, we would have ground out at least a draw. So many of them think its OK for smaller teams to kick lumps out of us, while we get penalised for the most trivial of incidents.

I always dread seeing Atkinson, Dean and Oliver at our games, as invariably we get shafted and their shafting of us affects our play, as it did today, with our players losing their rag towards the end.

[Samid]

Another useless ref.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Should have had 3 red cards in the 2nd half, one two footer, one swinging elbow, one total wipeout.

 

[arthurka]

Totally inept.. Two reds should have been out for the same player but he is still on the pitch.

 

[top1whoisman]

Rooney would’ve missed that.

 

[arthurka]

And that card on Blind
After everything you didn't give.

 

[donkeyfish]

What a joke. In competition with Rooney for worst performance. The Northampton keeper comes in third.

This, we can still be shit, and the victims of shit refereeing, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[RK]

I think Northampton should've had another penalty for Romero's clothesline. You shouldn't be allowed to do that but it'd hardly ever be given.

 

[JackXX]

I feel like referees quite often give these types of performances in cup games. It's like they try to give the underdogs half a chance by letting things go.

 

[GwynnieJ]

"Magic of the cup" though guys. Hate games like these. You know the ref doesn't want to ruin the "occasion" by sending off a part time postman.

Same with twats like Andy Carroll or the old Stoke team who got away with murder because "that's what they're like"

 

[VanGaalEra]

OP updated, any chance of us getting something? Not even getting something, any chance we just get correct decisions in our games?

 

[Samid]

Luiz should be off.

 

[DevilRed]

Luiz should have been off. Yes it would have been harsh but that was a studs up challenge right on the knee.

 

[7dan]

10 games gone, and some massive decisions gone against us. Can't think of any going for us but it has cost us 3 points today and imo 1 vs city.

Edit: 2 points today (feels like 3)

 

[Snow]

We got 1 point today so he possibly cost us 2 points with the penalty and Herrera decisions. We've been unlucky but in this game it shouldn't have mattered, against Chelsea it didn't matter but against City it would have been big.

 

[OohAahMartial]

Referees get far too much protection. They should get fines, get suspensions, get bans from reffing against certain clubs, even the sack in some cases. Footballers and managers do so why the heck not refs?

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Controversial opinion, but I don't think he cost us anything today. We created enough to win, but just couldn't put anything in the back of the net. Soft red for Herrera, but that's about it for me.

 

[Boycott]

The one we got away with is Herrera should have been sent off vs Stoke

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

I love the guy, but Herrera was due a red. He's been on the cusp for a number of games, and his challenges can be a bit reckless. I love seeing him put in crunching tackles, but he's gotten away with a few. As above, the Stoke one was ridiculous.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Can we appeal the Herrera red?

 

[Skills]

feck clattenburg

 

[Catt]

Here in Norway the refs come on telly and explain why they made this or that decision. At least they get to explain why.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Can we appeal the Herrera red?

No. It's not a case of mistaken identity, and the referee saw it and made a decision. As far as I am aware, that is the only criteria that an appeal can be made on; either the referee sending the wrong player off, or the referee not seeing it.

 

[djdhrubs]

Can we appeal the Herrera red?

Technically maybe not but the FA can choose to cancel the ban like they did with Gabriel for Arsenal last season in their game against Chelsea.
