And, despite selecting Foy to officiate the League Two clash between Accrington Stanley and Rochdale this weekend, PGMO have denied demoting the St Helens-born official.

"There are 16 select group officials who are rotated around ten games - it would be remiss of anyone to suggest that he has been demoted," Phil Dorward, head of PR for PGMO, told Goal.com.



Damn it. Coincidence not conspiracy.
 
Funny because I also read today, "Mark Clattenberg was the ref when City beat UTD 6-1. He hasn't refereed at OT since. Mike Dean refereed Blackburn's 3-2 win at Old Trafford. He's not refereed there since."

Wow. I dint believe the Foy demotion thing, but maybe its actually true!
 
This seems interesting..

1. Alex was not happy with Foy after tottenham game, Foy referees a League Two game. #FACT

2. Mike Dean, referee, when Blackburn beat Utd 2-3, hasn't refereed a Utd game since. #FACT

3. Mike Dean - referee, in 2010, after Utd's defeat to Chelsea, was demoted to the Championship. #FACT

4. Wiley, called "fat and unfit" by Alex after Utd's draw with Sunderland, "agreed to retire" that season. #FACT

5. Clattenburg (1-6 to City) hasn't refereed a single United game after that Manchester derby. #FACT

6. Martin Atkinson - Involved in Utd's defeat to Chelsea, criticized by Alex, hasn't refereed Utd since. #FACT

7. Ex ref Jeff Winter openly stating that he hadn't been given a United game for 2 years after sending Keane off. #FACT

8. Howard Webb has been United's most used referee since the defeat to Manchester City. #FACT

9. More than 18% of the penalties Webb has awarded in his 8 year career have been to United. #FACT

10. United's CEO is on the board of the English FA. #FACT

Don't know if all of it is true, but won't be surprised if it is!

Webb is back against Newcastle to get things back on track. Allegedly.
Again:

Howard Webb referreed Man U. for the first time in the 2005/2006 season.

Since then:

At OT: 14 matches. 12 W (86%). 1 D (7%). 1 L (7%). 8 Ws (66%) by one goal.
Away: 16 matches. 7 W (44%). 3 D (19%). 6 L (38%). 3 Ws (43%) by one goal.

How have Man U. fared since the 2005/2006 season without Howard Webb?

At OT: 113 matches. 93 W (82%). 12 D (11%). 8 L (7%). 25 Ws (27%) by one goal.
Away: 112 matches. 65 W (58%). 28 D (25%). 19 L (17%). 35 Ws (54%) by one goal.
Man. U perform about as well at home under Webb as under any other ref.

Away, they seem to fare worse under Webb, but possibly still within a comfortable margin of error.

If Webb is on the take for Man. U, then all the refs are.
 
no ones on the take, its just that fergie exerts undue pressure on refs to give him decisions, and thats wrong, its cheating and he should be docked points every time he does it, then refs could ref without fear, they'd still fuck up, but perhaps more honest fuck ups, the type you make [i dont, but you know this] :gomes:
