Anyone else agree that Liverpool are getting treated unfairly by the refs this season? And Man United are getting all the calls in their favor?

Liverpool are the only club in the league not to get a penalty. Man United have 5...

Rio Ferdinand was bloodied by a coin and them someone attempted to assault him, Suarez had coins thrown at him but was he hit in the face? Coins were also thrown at Rooney as he went to take a corner but nothing is being done. Also, Tevez kicked out and didn't recieve any punishment whereas Rooney was banned for swearing at a camera.

Also, United get all the decisions?

1. Pre-season friendlies

Punishment: N/A

August 4th 2006: Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes sent off for Manchester United in pre-season Amsterdam Tournament.

Punishment: N/A

3. Drugs tests

2003: Manchester Uniteds Rio Ferdinand missed a drugs test. (Rio tried to arrange a return to Carrington whilst the drug testers were still there but they said no, despite staying for a further half an hour. Read about this unjust treatment in more detail)
Punishment: Eight month ban and 50,000 fine

2002: Manchester Citys Christian Negouai missed a drugs test.

Don't get into someone you know NOTHING about.


Doesn't matter where they get hit. It's still Assault.
Kicking a ball out of play is nowhere near as bad as swearing at a camera. You know kids watch football? That kind of language doesn't need to be on TV.

1. There's s difference between getting send off and doing something worth punishment outside of the game. You're talking about events that occured 6-9 years ago.

2. Again with the 6 years ago. Just watching those celebrations and it's obvious that Nevill was winding up the Liverpool fans, while Fowler was just celebrating with his team mates.

3. 10 years ago, really? Im referring in my post to this season/most of last season.

4. Shouting & trying to fight a referee is more serious than swearing at one, but yeah Gerrard should have been punished aswell.

5. Are you seriously comparing those two? Rio just smacked Craig, while Javier barely touched Jermaine..

6. Rooneys should have been a red. Gerrards on Brown should have been a red. Gerrards on Welbeck was accidental.

7. What's so unfair about any of these decisions?


I won't even bother looking up all the times Liverpool have been screwed over/Man U have got 'lucky' this season, because i'll be at it for days.

But for some examples, Suarez's offside against Everton.
Suarez's inability to revive free kicks/penaltys anymore.
Suarez's 8 match ban.
Daniel Aggers penalty claim yesterday.
Shelveys sending off against Man United. Should have been 2 reds or none atall.
I'll assume you watched Man U v Chelsea earlier this season, that one speaks for itself.

1. Mike Dean, referee, when Blackburn beat Utd 2-3, hasn't refereed a Man-Utd game since. FACT
2. Mike Dean - referee, in 2010, after Man-Utd's defeat to Chelsea, was demoted t...o the Championship. FACT
3. Wiley, called "fat and unfit" by Alex after Man-Utd's draw with Sunderland,"agreed to retire" that season. FACT
4. Mark Clattenbu...
rg (1-6 to City)hasn't refereed a single Man- United game after that Manchester derby. ) FACT
5. Martin Atkinson - Involved in Man-Utd's defeat to Chelsea, criticized by Alex, hasn't refereed Utd since. FACT
6. Ex ref Jeff Winter openly stating that he hadn't been given a United game for 2 years after sending Keane off. FACT
7. Howard Webb has been United's most used referee since the defeat to Manchester City. FACT
8. More than 18% of the penalties Webb has awarded in his 8 year career have been to United. FACT
9. United's CEO is on the board of the English FA. (Just in case the refs don't do their 'jobs'.) FACT
10. FA reacts to Ferguson's criticisms by only appointing referees he approves of. FACT.
