For the second week in a row Man United are gifted the opening goal of the game due to a poor refereeing decision, this time by Steve Bennett. A clear foul on the Blackburn goal keeper.

Blackburn manager Paul Ince says the referee or his assistant “made a big mistake” and “cocked it up” by allowing Man Utd’s opening goal!

Penalty decision v Bolton

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I’ve held off posting about the penalty decision which was awarded to Man Utd v Bolton in a hope someone would be tempted into make a comment on the blog. However, no one has :( so here goes. It would seem, to their credit, that even the Man Utd players didn’t think it was a penalty as awarded by Rob Styles, click here.

“If it had been a Manchester United player Hackett would never have done this for us.”

This is what Furguson has said in responce to John Terry’s red card being rescind by Keith Hackett, meaning Terry can play for Chelsea v Manchester United. Furguson’s remark is being looked into by the FA.

Man Utd not in the clear

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

The FA may appeal against the verdict that cleared Ferguson and Queiroz of improper conduct according to the BBC website. This is all to do with the FA cup defeat to Portsmouth when ManU thought they should have had a penalty. Queiroz apparently called the ref a “robber” and Ferguson said “It’s absolutely ridiculous, I cannot explain it”. These things tend to even themselves out over the season, normally 10:1 in favour of Man Utd!

Refs biased towards Man Utd

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Avram Grant the Chelsea manager has suggested referees are biased towards Man Utd in this article on the BBC Sport Website. He draws reference to the sending off of Jon Mikel Obi before Man Utd went on to beat Chelsea 2-0 and a decission not to send Paul Scholes off in the title decider on the final day of the season at Wigan.

“I do not think the world is against Chelsea, or English football, but in this case there were some coincidences for Manchester United.”  Said Grant
