Was probably the worst refereeing performance I seen since that Barca game

Diabolical Nick!

Wythenshawe is the United heartland. You dont support altrincham if you live there.

He's had VAR 1 this article as well!!

Oh so he must be a massive Man Utd fan and chose to cheat then.

I mean, what other explanation is there?

If you want to avoid picking a Manchester United supporting referee then surely picking one from near Manchester is the way to go

Mike Dean is not allowed to officiate Liverpool games with the only exception being the Merseyside derby even though he is a Trannere fan. Why is it one rule for him and another for Manc refs?

How do you explain Maguire staying on the pitch? How do you explain Azpilicueta getting pulled for a foul when he was fouled himself ? Fooking joke decisions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeh, it must be that the referee is corrupt. Obviously.

So you can't think of any other explanation?

I don't for one second think they're biased, but it is weird that Anthony Taylor gets so many United and City games when no other ref seems to get the games in the city where they're from.

The Welsh Xavi (U15412)

Is that actually a fact? Not saying you're wrong, just interested to know.

Cal Neva (U11544)

Why is it unacceptable?

My view is that people who scream corruption just because they disagree with a decision should show a bit more maturity.

The trouble is fans (mostly Chelsea here) just won't buy the honest mistake line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Who said anything about a mistake?

The sooner football fans realise that their interpretation of an incident necessarily the only one, the better.

Do you honestly believe Maguire's explanation ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I honestly believe the official looked at it and decided it wasn't violent conduct.

VAR was poor last night, very poor - The Giroud goal was offside, but the rest was appalling

so were we though...that side isn't good enough in the Prem, & we shoudn't be 4th

ergo lost
