I hate atkinson so much I want him to never referee a game for us or retire full stop.

Really is an awful ref, dread it everytime he refs one of our matches.

Wow, what an awful article. This from an ex-ref? Disgraceful...

First, the offside goal was not clearly onside. It was very, very tight, and in real time it was hard to judge.

YaYa Toure, don't think it was a dive. Just because a player goes to ground doesn't mean it was either a foul or a dive.

Didn't think Evra was a clear penalty either, just strong defending from Kolo Toure.

Tevez on Rafael wasn't a yellow card, there was no intent at all and to be sent off for that would have been a joke.

The Tevez kick out was a certain red, surprised the ref was lenient with that.

But to suggest that Atkinson was anti-United, or yesterdays game was 11 v 12, or there was blatant cheating is a disgrace.

I first saw him how corrupt he was when we played portsmouth. ronaldo 5mins in is cleaned out no pen given. we have several near misses then first portsmouth atttack and red card and pen for portsmouth fgor slight contact. 2 game changing decisions made. If we had scored the pen after 5mins it could really have been 4 or 5 goals.

I personally detest atkinson every game. I was fully expecting him to give man city a penalty from nowhere but luckily he didn't have an option to give man city a pen yesterday. Yaya toure was a disgrace yesterday, loved it when carrick didn't let him run past him so he did a swandive.

Daredevil, when have I said that? And when was I a ref?

Yaya didn't just dive once

One City fan yesterday decribed Yaya as 'swimming like Ashley'

He was like 2 yds onside. How can he give offside when he is not. kolo toure kicked evra,

There was more than one Yaya dive, he was pathetic yesterday

Was less than a yard Haf. Tight decision for the lino but for me, to disallow a goal, he needs to be absoltely certain it was offside anyway so he really should not have flagged

zabaletta was pushing out at the time of the shot and young looked well offside a split second later
shocking article from poll they normally all stick together ,nasty piece

posted on 10/12/12

Zabaletta playing him on was behind Young too so difficult for linesman to see him. Can see why it was given offside

posted on 10/12/12

Challenge on Evra was a definite penalty, Toure dived alot, Tevez should have been sent off and Young scored a clean goal for 0-3.

City were rather fortunate with decisions yesterday but it doesn't matter because United still won.

I dont like moaning after just winning a derby but how that goal got called offside, & then for city to go up & score!

Like somebody else has said I was just waiting for city to get a pen, but we got through it.

So after the goal at reading & then yesterday will the bitters now give it a rest?

posted on 10/12/12

We would have Smashed then 7 or 8 nil if the young goal counted, over rated over paid mugs

Picture of the alleged offside, it's not even tight. Everyone is onside

posted on 10/12/12

If its tight the benefit of the doubt is supposed to be with the attacking team

shocking article from poll
---------------
If United had got the decisions and Poll mentioned it, the artcile I'm sure would have been brilliant right?

Why do people get so het up when decisions go against United and it gets a mention in the press?

The whole of the UK were still talking about the Torres sending off a week later ffs and don;t get me started on how many times that Spurs over the line goal gets brought up despite being 7 years ago yet when United had one last week, it's already forgotten

I actually find it hillarious. I guess it's just because we are winners and just get on with it

i think this is another classic example of all the decisions going against United, but us still winning. It seems to happen quite a lot, but because we win,nothing is said about it. Yet when it happens the other way round and we get all the decisions and win, the media and opposition fans are up in arms about it, crying conspiracy.

Spurs a few years ago when we got the soft pen, we scored it but Spurs were still 2-1 up. We then pasted the hell out of them with Tevez Berba Rooney and Ronnie on the pitch. Harry blamed the dodgy pen for the defeat

United has a goal incorrectly ruled out to go 3 up and City ht back, but we are still 2-1 up. What did United do? Went on to win the game

There's the difference for me. When we get decisions against us, we just get on with it and go and win anyway

To be honest, they had 9 men and 10-15 minutes left of the game, if Hernandez hadn't scored, would you have been willing to bet against a United winner?

Doesn't matter how it goes in, as long as it does.

But if we were to lose yesterday, we would be told 'you always get decisions' which somehow means its ok...!?!
