Neither decision was given.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ferguson admitted that he wasn\u2019t surprised to see either decision not given as the game was &#8220;too big&#8221;, and complained that United often come off the worse in these decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen the two incidents and the first one was definitely a flick of the hand from Vidic. I never saw it, neither did the linesman or the referee, but the second one was a clear penalty kick,&#8221; Ferguson told <em>Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;But you&#8217;re not going to get decisions like that in the big games. They are too big a games and we don&#8217;t seem to get the decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;But the one at the end was obvious, even Gael Clichy put his hands up in horror.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;It balances out in that respect and I think it was a flick of the hand from Vidic, but it was difficult to see. Robin Van Persie was the only one to see it as only he complained.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The loss now means that Chelsea can go above United on goal difference if they are triumphant at Old Trafford next Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;It gives Chelsea a major chance now. They got some great decisions yesterday against Tottenham and we don&#8217;t seem to be getting these decisions at the moment. They got one or two last season at Old Trafford, so that&#8217;s a worry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;At the game at Old Trafford, the League at stake. We will be ready for it. Go and win it, that&#8217;s the name of the game. Our home record is fantastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I&#8217;ve got to make a selection decision on Wednesday in terms of that game and a fresh team for Sunday.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Focussing on the game, Ferguson bemoaned his side\u2019s energy in the first half, and spoke of a mix-up in delivering a vital tactical message to his players that, he believes, allowed goalscorer Aaron Ramsey the space to slot home the winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t start playing until we lost the goal. Edwin van der Sar has not had to make a save the whole game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;The weakest thing for us and the mistake we made, which was disappointing, was when I had the substition just before the goal we never got the message across about switching players&#8217; positions and it freed Ramsey to score the goal. That was just a bad break for us but after that we dominated and think we deserved something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t use the ball properly and didn&#8217;t play well enough in the first half. We didn&#8217;t do that. But, once we lost the goal we were in their half for most of the time.&#8221;<span><span><br \/><\/span><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/5916ce64130438_news.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Go here to see the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/05\/01\/2466666\/sir-alex-ferguson-claims-his-side-dont-get-big-refereeing\" title=\"Sir Alex Ferguson claims his side don't get big refereeing decisions their way after 1-0 defeat to Arsenal\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sir Alex Ferguson claims his side don&#8217;t get big refereeing decisions their way after 1-0 defeat to Arsenal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Alex Young 1 May 2011 17:45:00 BPL,Arsenal v Manchester United,Aaron Ramsey and Michael Carrick Related Links Teams Players Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson bemoaned a lack of consistency in awarding big decisions after he saw his side slip up in the title race after losing 1-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-412951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
