We and the TV pundits just assume what the ref saw.

We all accept the fact that referees are fallable human beings and that a margin of error must be accounted for. However, the trends regarding decisions against Manchester United at Old Trafford are staggering, and to deny any correlation to United's status as a massive team with massive influence on the Premier League is silly.
