Chris Wilder Highlights Perceived Bias Against Sheffield United, Calls for Fairness

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has expressed concerns about perceived bias against his team from match officials and plans to address the issue with Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL). After the team’s 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace, Wilder criticized referee Tony Harrington’s performance and highlighted what he sees as consistent unfavorable decisions for Sheffield United.

Wilder cited instances of soft fouls going against his team and raised questions about the potential bias due to the club’s position in the league. He also complained about a challenge on goalkeeper Ivo Grbic going unpunished and criticized an official for a lack of respect. Wilder stressed that his frustration represents the views within the club and called for fair and consistent refereeing.

Sheffield United is currently at the bottom of the Premier League, nine points from safety. Wilder acknowledged some favorable decisions in a recent match but insisted that overall there has been a sense of decisions going against his team.
