Us having the ref on our side for a derby

EFCNIK · October 11, 2012

All of this talk about the refs being against us and all the snidery from the cults players over the years has got me right up for this one ffs.

Of course it will end in bitter defeat most likely a suarez penalty in the 90th min.

me too, I was just seeing if I had on blue tinted glasses, or if I was right in thinking they get the big decisions go their way more often than not.

It seems to be the same story every season. We only seem to win when we don't think we will!

I remember prepping myself for the usual arse raping at Goodison a few years back when we spanked them 3-0

Now we have the better team and better form, it's set up for them to pull it off.

No we lost three last year but none the year before so it would only be four in a row if we lost the next one.

Yak running for the ball, completely ignores it and takes a defender out then returns to the ball again. That was quality and the ref didn't blow, nearly got a goal from that. It was the Cahill/Arteta 2-0 Derby I believe.

The replay (about 26secs shows it best).

Shoulder in shoulder. All by the book.

This. Even the Liverpool players don't appeal for it - Meireles was coming in off balance and didn't compete for the ball effecively.

I was having a chat with a red mate of mine, who claims we've had our fair share of decisions go our way in derbies that really shouldn't have. I really can't think of any, he couldn't name any specifics - I pointed out that there were no major ones that I could think of.

But has there been any players who should have been sent off, and they got away with it? or anything similar.

with the way they are playing and the way we are playing, we should be able to out muscle them pretty easily.

No, I want a ref to completely screw them over. Disallow three clear goals and we win in injury time via a handball or something.

Just so that they can know how it feels to be genuinely f***ed over in a derby.

This thread has made me realise how much I really hate them. If we lose to this **** again I give up.

Start preparing now then mate.... There is a chance it won't hit as hard in 3 weeks time.

Nah, seriously.... If we can go into the derby with West Brom our only blemish so far then i have every confidence that we can **** these over for a change. These really are ****e

The fact he couldn't name any specifics says a whole lot really , as this thread proves its fairly easy for us to go into specifics as there are so many of them .

I want to have AT LEAST 7 game changing decisions go in our favour. Decisions that fully decide the match and we win purely because of them. And I want to spread those decisions out over the next 7 games. AT LEAST.
