Gary Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 It is because referees give the visiting teams nowt at Old Trafford. I have never seen such a clear cut penalty in my life which would have brough Sheffield back into the game but the referee just waved play on!

Peter T Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Sour grapes Gary. As in a lot of cases, the linesman was not doing his job. It wouldn't have altered the result cos Man. U would have stepped up a gear and scored another. If they win the league, it will be because they were the more consistent side from day one. And they are a JOY to watch. If the poo fans watch them.

Gary Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Why is it sour grapes when the ref and linesman have made an almight blunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobshaw235 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Cannot find this on Google but how many penalties have been awarded to Man Utd at Old Trafford this season and how many have been awarded against them, i do not expect a Utd fan to answer this Question as I'm sure they would be too embarrassed.

Gary Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I suspect you will find it is something like 10-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Sheffield should have had a penalty and Heinze could perhaps have been dismissed. Man U could have had a penalty for handball in the first half, the thug that assaulted Evra should have been booked, etc, etc,. The score was comfirmed as 2- 0 in the paper this morning which is the only fact that matters, everything else is opinion. Â I don't think it is luck alone that has put United twenty points in front of Liverpool; before I forget Bob, are City still in the big league?

bobshaw235 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Eagle as you will soon find out The Blues are still playing with the big boys,albeit without the cash of the Americans or Russians and are lying in a very respectable 12th position only 40 points behind Utd.

Eagle Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 No change this weekend, still a three point gap. United were poor in front of goal again and was that another penalty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willywonka Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Yup, good to have some excitement for a change at this stage of the season. Â Bums haven't squeaked so much since the Great Vindaloo Epidemic of '85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobshaw235 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Jose,summed up what everone except Man U supporters Knew,the new rules state NO penalties can be given against the Reds and NO penalties can be awarded to chasing teams,(This does not include Man City) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 There's an article in the Mail about the inaccuracies of Jose. (Can't find a link online). It states that this season Man.U have had FOUR penalties awarded against them and Chelsea only TWO. Â I would also suggest, that the one Crouch got last week was very dubious to say the least.

Liverpools first match of the season was against Sheffield. Fowler scored from a penalty that everyone but the referee knew wasn't a penalty.

KeithR Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Short memory methinks 2. Â Liverpool had a period of 46 consecutive years without 1 penalty being awarded to a visiting team in front of the Kop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
