Time to put on your tin-foil hats lads. Is there some sorta conspiracy against us from the FA?
I notice (especially at home) we get appalling officials who never give us anything, or give things the other way etc; I know you're never going to get every decision your way/correct but we definitely get the short end of the stick from the officials most days.

I don't think so no.
The ref was awful but for both teams.
Linesman had no backbone today

I do think that some times.
I may be biased though.

I think it sometimes, that one for the Hudders game was the worst I've seen. Seems we do get the worst of the worst most of the time though

every club could say this i think.
The ref was awful, and i feel Wolves got the best of the decisions, but wouldnt say anyone has it in for us.

You should've seen the absolute spazwit we had on Saturday for the Sunderland game!!! I'm not talking about the red card, no arguments about that but f**king hell they were awful. At one point the ball went into touch, the linesman wasn't watching so Dyer and the Sunderland player sorted the throw in out themselves
I've often wondered if there is a bias against the Welsh teams?

Referees are appointed by the Football League and not the FA so no the FA do not have it in for us.
As far as Andy D'urso is concerned I was delighted when I saw he was appointed to the game because he has been in charge of our games 16 times during his career and we have only lost 3 of those matches. The last time we lost a game with Andy in charge was on 16th December 2006, away at Hull City where we lost 4-1. We have won 8 of his 16 games and drawn 5 which gives us an 82% unbeaten record with Andy in charge.
He didn't have his best day yesterday but he also didn't ruin what was a good game and I think maybe both sets of fans would feel that.

i have a feeling, (and someone will correct me if wrong) but i think its the ref we had for our first game v huddersfield

Yeah, we've had some shocking refs against us but we've also had some stinkers that go for us. A few times the ref has bowed to the pressure of the Canton Stand. There was one yesterday where it clearly came off our player for a corner but the ref gave a goal kick.

not just that zabier.
i remember the away game against leeds last season, where Mason pushed one of their defenders in the back before scoring, madness that the goal was allowed to stand, but thats just the way it goes sometimes.
Its always the ones that go against you that are remember the most.

Just checked, you're right

So, from what I've seen on here, he was awful in your match too?
