Fantastic officiating from the man in the middle today.

We owe him for our lucky point today.

Why do you feel to live up to your MB name and just go fishing for bites, I could understand it if you was just a kid but for you, you are letting yourself down.
 
Listening to Radio Leeds their fans (to a man) think the ref was biased towards PNE. Also they feel they will beat "teams like Preston" when the ref is neutral. They complained that only 5 mins was added - it should have been a lot more with all the time wasting by PNE - they of course would never waste time in the same situation 🙂
 
Ref seemed to be a homer to all round me. Every decision went Leeds way. He actually played 7 minutes injury time but spoiled the match by his dismissal of Pearson. The first booking which was a lunge by P. where nobody was near him and the ref booked him following complaints by Leeds players. He's a marked man by refs and opposition.

Stop saying that phrase. It's highly tinpot.
 
The officials at this level are specifically coached and positively encouraged to be complete shite, in general the majority achieve this to an excellent standard. Just occasionally one slips through the net and puts in a performance that looks like he has actually played the game, has some basic idea of the rules and appreciates the crowd have not come to see him!! Such examples are immediately removed from the list never to be seen again.

It is what fans of the so called bigger teams use when they fail to beat us.

It has nothing to do with sounding tin pot but taking the piss out of fans of clubs like Sheff Wed and Leeds who think they have a divine right to beat "teams like preston!"

In fairness we've had one or two Managers that had the same mindset..Irvine was one of them......................... Whether results back him up or not remains to be seen but Neil seems to be of the opposite ilk...........Bigger clubs than ours ( the majority of the Championship ) don't seem to phase him and he doesn't appear to believe that any of them have a divine right to beat us either..... Everything might go pear shaped but I like the cut of Neils jib already..... 🙂
 
I wrote "teams like us" in inverted commas to illustrate that this is a term used by "bigger club" fans who think they have a devine right to be Premiership clubs.
