From the Merda forums
"Let's say there are 7-8 matches in a season when we get fucked by the referee (maybe more, but take this for example)
This means, at most, we get 1 point from each match, that is 7-8 points.
In the same time, Rube is winning 7-8 matches with the help of the referees (surely more, but it is an example), matches with 1-0 penalty victories, offside goals, in stoppage time, and so on.
This means 21-24 points.
Only from this there is a 14-15 points difference between us and Rube, just because of refereeing "errors".
OK, it's not a scudetto winning difference, but a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE spot difference.
You get my point.
We can blame Mazzari, but this system fucks us over year after year."
