Does anyone else?

Think that we are now getting treated more fairly by referees since Mr Dickov was replaced.
      I do by the way, we were on the wrong end of a string of dodgy decisions for all his reign with us costing us staying up, and probably 6points this season.
       Is it the old Fergy effect?.

No

No, I don't think that we are. I think that we are playing better so a poor decision by a Ref has less impact on our results.

[red w(h)ine]

I couldn't believe some of the decisions that went against us against Stalybridge (and almost cost us a goal), so based on home games alone - no.

No a referee doesn't stop you winning games if you are better than the opponents ; they just make it that much harder. Determined teams and players of course have a whinge and then get on with 'righting the wrong'. On the other hand leaderless teams without any bottle let it play on their minds.

A game lasts 90 mins and on the whole the better team and in many circumstances the team that wants it more should go on to win . Pointing the finger at referees constantly only covers up weaknesses within your own set-up .

The 4th official is in less evidence these days!

That's just how it should be.
 PD wasted more energy on them than directing the team.
This new idea of just getting on with it is far better, plus on the odd occasion that you are upset you might even get some sympathy.
