We will continue to be bullied by referees until our board knows how to give back proper response

Title is self-explained. This season there have been a fair share of referees blatantly acting against us. We have mostly just obeyed meekly. Even that 1st red card to Casemiro was quickly swept beneath the rug because we were afraid we would be punished more and disrupted the Carabao Final.

If our board continues to lead the farce today go unnoticed and just bow our heads meekly like before, then we deserve every bit of blatant bias referees throw at us.

We need a more strong-arm approach to respond properly to such acts. As everyone knows, keep bowing your head and the bully keeps going at you.
 
Actually think Ferguson was quite happy to take a few tends of thousands of pounds worth of fines to get some of those absolute morons to make the right (not in our favour just the RIGHT) decisions. The pretence that everything went for us is bullshit anyway we had plenty of nonsensical decisions even in Fergies day, the difference was that he'd call them out so they got noticed and they didn't like that.
 
Let's boo the champions League anthem.


Oh wait wrong club
 
SAF spoke out just as Klop did and ETH needs to do the same, some comments here and there that are borderline should be enough. One thing that pisses me off is that players and managers have to (rightly) answer for their performances and decisions, and some get untold abuse. Why are refs not required to answer the same questions?? And if you question anything on the pitch you are carded and sent off, we need the refs to be mic’d up once and for all…….watch it change then.
 
The refs are like the tories though. The more cnutish they are, the more you complain about them, then they make life even worse for you for complaining.
