Ref yesterday

[Thejkr]

Just read Rafa Benitez wasn't happy that the ref at.Newcastle tonight is from Huddersfield. Pretty sure iur ref yesterday was from Manchester why didn't.anyone say anything. Not that it made a difference

[Woodleyclaret]

Taylor was complete shite.Rooneys constant winging and Pogbas playacting and over the ball challenge were a disgrace.Barnes was kicked up and down yet got nothing.Taylor was inconsistent throughout.Pulling us up at every opportunity as yet another Man U player rolled around like theve been shot.

Taylor might say that he's not a MUFC fan but how many United fans live in Altrincham? And how many Clarets live there?

And that doesn't affect how you will ref the game?

Hmm.....

Hmm.....

Doesn't matter who lives where - he has no allegiance to either Man U or Burnley - good referee or bad referee, such comments are actually questioning his integrity.

Referee tonight at Newcastle is Andy Madley from Ossett.

Hmm.....

He can't be a United fan because he lives in the Manchester area and, according to most who post on here, there are no United fans living in Manchester and district.

Does Surrey come under 'and district?'

It mattered not one jot where he came from....where was the linesman from who flagged offside when the ref was awwarding us a free kick? just out of curiosity.

[Juan Tanamera]

To be fair Tim, I commented to my mate that Gray looked offside but when the ref gave the free kick, I thought we'd got away with it, but then the lino flagged.

Aaaah... but where was the linesman from,what team does he support etc.like it mattered!

[Devils_Advocate]

biggest decision he had to make was when Barton fouled Rooney in the area. Clear penalty but he gave us the decision so he wasnt making a very good job being biased towards Utd if that was his plan

Should have given Rooney a yellow for diving. His legs went about a second before Barton got anywhere near him.

He was another one all over the floor... loads of energy to get up whinging when the whistle didn't blow though. Typical Rooney. Typical Mourwhingio. Typical United.

[Devils_Advocate]

If that would have been a Utd player on Gray you would have a completely different opinion. No point discussing any further if you cannot see a clear foul just because it was committed by your own team

[Juan Tanamera]

MOTD showed every which way of Barton's tackle on Rooney, it was a clear penalty.

Well remembered....definite penalty.

[ontario claret]

The most biased ref I've seen all year, and that's saying a lot. If he was refereeing in Spain, he would be exclusively assigned to either Real Madrid or Barca.

[ontario claret]

Joey's "foul" was only a foul if only you're a glory-seeker. He was clearly going down before he was even touched.

That was years ago.....let it go.

[ontario claret]

What?!? You're going to dispute my only touch with reality?

[Jakubclaret]

We was up against it yesterday as it was the last thing we needed was a Ref from the greater Manchester area. Without questioning his integrity or where his allegiances lie or don't lie it wasn't the greatest of appointments bearing the geography in mind. When you live in a area you have to get on with the locals the best you can even if you still support a different football team.

I'll have you know I've been a glory hunting Claret since I was 7 years old.
In 1960.

[KRBFC]

Excuses have hit an all time low

Cant see what rooney going down without being touched as owt to do with anything.... hes been doing it for years....

I thought he was fine as a ref on Sunday. However, his interpretation of Fellaini and Pogba's style of play really limited our game plan.

But, yes, whether it is questioning his integrity or not there must be a human factor that makes him think - somewhere in the back of his mind - that it is easier to give a decision for United than Burnley. This factor is surely greater when you live in a town that a lot of people would class as Manchester.

Add to the fact that Taylor was on a few weeks ago admitting in a documentary that he had made a clanger in our game against Swansea (without any mention of Swansea's winning 'goal').

Did he really want to give us a decision that could have been wrong and have all those clips and his stag do brought up all again? You can bet your life Mourinho would have....

[ontario claret]

1960. Who won the league that year? It's somewhere in the back of my head.

[ontario claret]

And that's why Mourinho's a top manager. He never forgets anything.

[ontario claret]

tim noone, that's like saying a serial killer isn't so bad because he only was caught with the last one.
