...anyone know what the so called dodgy decisions were?

That's a rather offensive headline, TTT.

The ref handed out 17 yellow cards, apparently.

[ToraToraTora]

Well they obviously committed 17 YC offences. Personally I'd make in 10 in the bin for a YC then the managers will quickly fix it.

Football players and fans disagree with every decision that is not in their favour, nothing new.

Typical gutless footballers whinging because they didn't get their own way. The so called "Special one" was demonstrating that he is anything but.

Your question title is not acceptable.

[youngmafbog]

The title is perfectly acceptable - get a life.

I dont know TTT, he needs dealing with IMHO.

[youngmafbog]

* Mourinho that is.

The English Ref had to be escorted through a baying mob at Roma Airport. They sounded more like cattle than girls.

He was lucky. Some Latin American football fans shoot the Referee dead if it doesn't go their way. :-(
I seem to recall a referee carrying a gun on the pitch during a match

Anybody want to dispute my penalty decision?

Yes, it's a figure of speech and one that is annoying to almost 51% of the population.
Perhaps it is time to consign it to the 'history-bin'?
I am sure there are oodles of other terms that could be be used.
