Refs too friendly with Man Utd Players?

“It can irritate you them calling their players by the first name and trying to calm them down being pally,”  said Mowbray. and continued, “I’m not questioning the integrity of referees, yet you should always feel that there’s a level playing field.”

This was provoked after a match with, surprize surprize Manchester United and West Brom. Full details here. Rob Styles sent off West Brom player Paul Robinson, a decission which was subsequently rescinded.
