Of course we could but to keep quiet about it and let it be, then we will continue be bullied by bullsh1t decisions again and again, either by Riley or another ref.
I am sure any referee will know better than to give any important 50-50 decisions against the Mancs knowing full well they will get bashed face-to-face or through media. Its simple human psychology...
So do you think that moaning on a web forum will make the ref award us three points ?

no one here is naive enough to believe that, leon, and you know it. i think i can safely talk for most people when i say that we're protesting about his poor standard of refereeing in our game and others and that the guy should be at least investigated or not allowed to officiate in the prem.

He will not be investigated, he is not corrupt or trying to influence the destiny of the title, he is simply a poor referee, and endemic of the situation here in England, with poor refereeing influincing too many games.

I'm sure I heard it somewhere that Riley has awarded a penalty to ManU in each and every one of the last 8 matches he has refereed at Old Trafford. Coincidence? Methinks not.

I wish I could beleive the fact he was bent, however it is not true.
As I said before, it is due to the fact that big clubs get decisions at home.

Rafas interview yesterday was the best way of handling the situation
I sympathise with JC and his ranting especially as ball to hand as the explanation is amazingly ludicrous but players and managers have to be careful as the FA will not tolerate open dissent even if the decisions were a bit, well really daft.
The game is lost and thats a fact we have to live with but its finding the balance so there is pressure on refs at Anfield like they have in Old Trafford etc but without us becoming the paranoid club that Manure are

no one is saying he's bent. he's a poor ref, simple as that. in 2000 uriah rennie was demoted to the lower division for poor refereeing performances, there was also one more recently though i forget his name.
i'm saying that our friend mr riley may also benefit from spending some time in the 'reserves'.

Could not agree more, but some people on here think they can get the FA to do something by moaning or starting a thread.
