Yes that should have been a goal for Bamba.
Yes Junior's goal at QPR should have stood.
Yes Bamba was offside scoring against Hull.
Shit rwds and linos are everywhere...and not just out to get us.

Refs
They say these decisions even themselves up over the course of the season, so hopefully we are due a few to go our way.
I've always considered that statement to be bollocks if I'm honest. If you look at our year in the premier league for example it was borderline embarrassing how many decisions went against us cos we were playing against clubs that were bigger than us.Quote:

I make that 5-1 just off the top of my head. All of them were pretty blatant as well.

Say there are 2 fairly even teams, one who gets 7:3 in their Fabian's another who gets 7:3 against, that could be a swing of 16 points, if the decisions converted wins into draws or draws into wins. That could easily be the difference between relegation or otherwise.

Ole's decision to address the crowd before kick off being the first of them :hehe:.Quote:

Using our season in the premier league is clutching at straws. We finished bottom because we were shit, not because of dodgy decidions.
Yes, I agree.Quote:

Are there crap refs, yes. Are they out to get your club? Unlikely.
The fact is teams at the top end of a table will fare better in bad decisions because they, invariably, attack more during the games. Some teams at the top may even see more of the ball in most games they play, but that's not always the case.
Fans always remember the decisions that went against them.Quote:
