Do we get unfairly treated?

[stinkyblade]

Recently, Robson came out and said that we get unfairly treated by referees after the Norwich incident

Is it an excuse for his poor management or do we?

In my opinion i think we get more decisions against us than we do for

 

[The One]

that may be so but it shouldn't matter because we should be hammering teams like nowrich despite of the dodgy decisions.

Norwich aren't too bad a team if we're honest. I never thought it would be an easy game down there, but I was hopeful of a 1-1 draw.

We do get a lot of decisions that go against us, more so than other teams.

But the fact remains, that Bryan Robson is still incompetant.

Norwich were in the bottom three and have played poorly most of the season. I know we have been playing poorly too but we should still hammer teams like that.

If you look at the table yes, but recently they have picked up and that was their third win out of four against us I believe, so are they playing well at the minute.

We aren't getting the rub of the green, there's no doubt about it, but it doesn't change the fact that we haven't played well this season.

But Norwich have been picking up of late, new manager in, couple of loan signings. They still have a decent squad, and their league position in my opinion is a false one.

 

[dingledog]

Just because they are all out to get us doesn't make us paranoid......does it ?

I still think regardless of form. signings whatever.

with the squad we have which on paper is the strongest in the league.

we really should be winning or picking up points from those games.

 

[bobby ford]

and i thought with our colin gone.

then the ref situation will get better
obviously not

 

[The One]

but we also only lost 2 in 10 and won 4 out of the last 5 away games including a 3-0 win against charlton, we beat charlton when they had won their last 4 games and not conceded a goal....

We have a better squad than Norwich so our league position is a false one then also?

Any team down the bottom we should be hammering.

But we had lost 2 in the previous 4 games. With 3 of them performances not being any good. Norwich have picked up their form and performances.

I agree our squad is better than theirs, and I think a point would have been a good result, but a loss is not a result which was a strange one.

I don't agree we should be hammering teams at the bottom, especially when there are teams like Norwich down there who are still good.

Teams like Colchester Bristol etc though we should be.

The same could be said with Charlton, or countless other teams that get relegated to this league. I can't recall a team in recent times who have been relegated then gone on to start hammering teams in the league below even though their squads have been far superior, much to like we THINK ours is.

Watford aren't doing so badly .......

Go back over recent years, say the last 15. Crystal Palace, Scabs (repeatedly), Sunderland (repeatedly), Middlesbrough (repeatedly), Bolton, Charlton, Manchester City, Leicester (even though they finished second), have all done it. Others have gone straight back up, even if they're not battering sides.

Yeah, they have done ok, but even they have lost 3 on the trot in the last few weeks.

I may accept Sunderland out of that list, but I don't recall any of these teams coming down and hammering the other teams. As said though, I may be wrong.

For starters. Now I must get ready for the pub and some falling down liquid

 

[Robbie]

It could be claimed that was a "hammering" of the league as such, but they still lost 8 away games and 9 in total, which equates to a 5th. of the games.

Let's argue in the pub in a few minutes!

At work till 2.30 then its a mad dash across the city to the ground.

Have a good session fella.

 

[stinkyblade]

Referee today made some absolutley shocking decisions against both clubs, but more against us, never seen the Kop so incensed.

Thought we should have a pen in first half, couldn't quite tell from my view but then a similar challenge near Kop was given to them despite the player winning the ball

He calls himself a premiership ref, he had no control what so ever

 

[Blades-7]

yeh we should tell refs warnock isn't manager anymore

 

[dingledog]

ref was awful, no wonder he isnt ref in the premier league anymore(or is he?)

 

[Sensiblade]

The diving that the ref fell for yesterday was terrible. Barnsley are worse than Chelsea & Arsenal for diving.
And the Pen we should have had in the first half!!!!!!!

was really hoping someone would clatter that Devaney...he was the worst of the lot.

I agree. There was one incident around the half way line by the John Street stand which was hilarious until the ref fell for it .........

My mate (who was on baby duty) said that Radio Sheffield said it wasn't a pen early on.

I did. My head felt like the Coldstream Guards Band was inside it early this morning.

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Nyatanga should have been sent off in the first half for about 5 pushes and 2 slaps (girl) on Carney. And I'm sure it was him that was involved in the scuffle on the opposite touchline in the second half!
I think we haven't had many decisions go our way, lets just hope we get the majority in the second half of the season and that'll help up climb the league
