Unlike tees perhaps - I do believe United were granted an abundance of what would be politely termed ‘soft decisions’ - especially at Old Trafford and especially under Ferguson. Plenty of ex pro’s and even some officials that have made that claim too.
On the claim of match fixing - I am suggesting that IF there is a provable conspiracy then in theory we should challenge it - BUT that it would still likely end in tears as the entire fabric of British sport would be thrown into question. Doping the lot. Think it would go right to the top tbh - many powerful interests would likely quash any attempt.
Clattenberg admitted as much in his book, straight from the horses fucking mouth, but Tees knows better than an official who was part of it
And speaking of allowing things to be normalised 'Fergie time' I mean seriously, what the fuck, it is just accepted, universally, a side regularly being given additional time on top of additional time in their games when they were drawing to try and get a late late winner and additional pressure and stress the phenomenom of 'Fergie time' put on the side desperately trying to hold on to help facilitate those late goals happening
I never accepted it, but as per my prior post, 99% of people, all the commentators and pundits, happily accepted that it was ok for this one team and manager to have additional time added at the end of so many of their games for them to try and score a winning goal, that other teams didn't get - Fucking morons as I said
