Refs were told to protect flair players in the World Cup - would not be surprised at all if English league and cup refs were told to protect players at bigger clubs. As soon as Nani came on their free kick count went through the roof.

There were some really clear decisions that didn't go our way as well - Guly losing his marker and getting his ankles bitten off for one. Will have to watch the game back on TV but I have to say that Atkinson had his lucky Man Utd pants on today underneath his shorts. Maybe Fergie had a bit of a word at half time...

Referee terrible and is obviously a Muauer fan. The 'fouls' he gave them in the second half were so far off the rules and Guly being completely bundled off the ball without getting a thing - What the hell was that about?????? According to the City fans he does this all time, favouring Man u. He gave them 'fouls' continually in the second half. Something was definately very strange about his performance..........

They're pretty scathing to Do Prado. I actually thought he played OK last night.

 

yeah but just remember the quality of player they are watching week in week out these days.

FWIW I thought he was inconsistant last night, looked good at times but some of his passing ??

On the ref: I said "Oh no!" out loud as soon as I saw it was Atkinson. Agree that some of the decisions were so biased and to be honest I was expecting far worse like a major controversial decision to go against us!

 

No major decision went against us only because there were no major incidents.

 

I had the same feeling of foreboding last night at half time that I had in Euro 2000 when I just knew the ref was going to give Romania a penalty to kick us out.

He follows a great touch, with a clumsy touch though which kind of makes him look poor and inconsistent to neutrals.

 

He's a very handy player for us at this level though.
