man united get the most decions against them? reads like ferguson wrote that report

[Epic Swindle]

They rule the media.

[Ostrich Man]

sickening corruption.

[Cobs]

sickening corruption.

 

The Telegraph has always been like that

[Billy Dane]

United, for example, had 59.3 per cent of incorrect decisions go against them; City had 73.7 per cent of incorrect calls go against them.

 

But apparently it's harder on United because it meant they lost more points, as opposed to City made sure they scored enough goals to render the incorrect decisions less meaningful. The things you can do with statistics eh.

[Cobs]

unless they're prepared to release details of the incidents which they claim have gone for and against then it's a load of bolllocks

[Falconhoof]

Where has this research been conducted . Just skimmed through but I can't see in the article any details about the people involved in the survey, the precise methods used or anything like that.

[Ostrich Man]

Fergies house.

getting dodgy penalties at 0-0 doesnt count towards "good luck" when you win 2-0, but obviously changes the game massively. united have had quite a few of those

[AE]

Second table is interesting.

obviously we are the most put upon club in the country

[Ed the Wool]

See he's saying the City crowd will 'put the referee under a lot of pressure' on Sunday.

Just reading their reasoning for the Wigan v Man Utd game already raises an eyebrow. They point to Welbeck apparently being fouled in the box, but United not getting a peno. And they refer to Figueroa's handball in the box which again didnt see United get a penalty. They manage to forget, intentionally or not, the fact that Wigan had a perfectly good goal ruled out.

Chelsea 3 Manchester United 3. Adjusted score 3-4

 

Ashley Young doesn't always get penalty awards. A foul by Jose Bosingwa on the United winger waved away in a match when United came back from 3-0 down thanks to two penalties converted by Wayne Rooney. This study assumes he would have completed the hat-trick.

 

United denied 2 points they should have had

 

 

well, if they're not going to count the united dives for the penalties i can see how you'd reach this conclusion. alternatively: chelsea 3 - united 1

 

 

 

[Gambit]

Utter garbage.

[Billy Dane]

Big assumption that all penalties awarded following reversal of decisions would have been converted as well. Still as long as it shows that United have been robbed alls well yeah.

For starters

 

Didn't Wigan have a goal chalked off for feck all in their match too? And a Utd player (Evans?) not red carded?

 

This is all before we get to Ashley Youngs cheating in recent weeks.

 

Hopefully City win the title on goal difference and we'll all know the difference is when those c**** got the mother of a humping on their own pitch. 6-1

Getting embarrassed for the manc journos now

 

What next? Mancini walked under a ladder in training this week? Black cat seen at the Etihad in QPR scarf? Solitary magpie lands on pitch ? Ferguson to wear lucky piss-stained underpants on Sunday?

Try and find another article about any club as biased as this in any mainstream paper.

Ffs. They're in a last day shoot-out for the title with their city rivals and half that bleedin' article is about us ? Shower of c**** the lot of them.

As long as they're not obsessed with us, eh?

[Guy_Incognito]

Like the way that article implies that we give out as much munich abuse as they give out to us, when in my experience of games (at the theatre of prawns and anfield) it's anything but. Also no mention of the amount of abuse about Hillsborough they give out also.

 

c****.

it also assumes, no? that the rest of the games are unchanged after correcting these decisions...

 

but they're not, you restart from the centre circle rather than a GK for example, substitutions differ, everything changes

 

The mancs could have gone on to lose 6-4 to Chelsea in that game

[dorgie]

The Danny Murphy 'no penalty' is the one that sticks in my craw the most. The f***ing referee was looking right at it, clearly knew the consequences of giving it so decided against it. Pricks.
