That is one of the worst refereeing performances I have ever seen.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
We miss Rooney, obviously, but I'm starting to think Anderson misses Cleverley.
fecking depressing.... on a day every big club won... god damn it. i cant believe it. so not fair.
Well done Utd, Giggs should have scored.
That's about it. Shows how integral Rooney is to the team.
Even if he's only gotten 1 matchwinner from his 9 goals so far..
??
Stoke are a complete joke. Hope they get relegated with their 20 6ft plus monsters
Could have played better, but that was one of the worst officiated games I've seen in a while.
It just felt like such a day, look at how every other team won today.
what a feck Netherlands got to do it with it?
Hate playing Stoke...full of cart horses!
Pathetic Utd fan. feck off
Thank god its over, we didn't get a sniff from the officials today.
Prepare yourself for an evening of Owen and Berba bashing.
we really miss Rooney.
never mind.
still top

I think we didn't provide them with great service, poor in midfield, Young's worst game for us so far. Just a bad day at the office, least we got a point but we gave them too many chances, need to be much more tighter away from home in future, same mistakes as last season.
Stoke are a horrible fecking team. I'd love to see the bastards relegated.
poor game, dire officiating and we lacked creativity in midfield.
I was going to say from the refs but I got carried away because I wanted to post something else. Calm down.
Not overly annoyed by that result. Still unbeaten, and I think a lot of teams will go there and struggle against Stoke.
We've had a tough opening 6 fixtures, and we've only dropped two points. Also we've had some injuries already, but we've coped very well.
Also the ref and his officials are cnuts. So is Peter Crouch.

So what was worse - the ref performance or our own performance?
Had Chicharito not got injured so quickly and the referee/linesmen not been such utter shite we would of done better. A fair result though.
I hope Stoke get relegated.
wow...
True but I'd say a lot of factors in us not being as creative as we can be. Apart from Rooney, Hernandez' injury and Welbeck coming back from injury also played a very big part. And of course Vidic defensively to murder Crouch.
Given our injuries, the result is great. Given the refereeing performance, it's a pissing off one.
Good point.
Decent point considering the circumstances. We weren't shocking by any means. Without our 2 best strikers and our best defender. 5 wins out of 6 is fecking good.
Stoke were a tough team but they are not 'cnuts' by any means. They got what they deserved today.

Giggs miss..
The ref's performance easily.
They did not do shit, so it is expected.
Is it customary to whinge about refereeing whenever we drop points?
What did they do. The ref was the problem. 4 Throw ins missed. Penalty callsNot a bad result that. Pity Giggs didn't nick it at the death. Oh well.
If you think about it, the pre match organisation was out of the window when Evans got injured in the warm up and Hernadez was taken out of the game in the first 10minutes.
Frankly, of all the players I was most disappointed in Berbatov. Simply doesn't seem to be able to rise to the challenge does he?
Draw at Stoke isn't to be sniffed at, I did hightlight their home form is very impressive a few days ago. I just hope this doesn't put the brakes on our attacking play.
We need Cleverly back in the side to bring back the short technical passing game. Too many hollywood long balls when Fletcher/Rio are in the same team.
Not a bad point. Giggs should've buried that chance and we should've 2-3 penalties.
I don't think we were bad at all. Sure, we weren't our swashbuckling best due to the injuries but we did pretty well. The ref was abysmal and made our job hard.
Ref was terrible, we weren't much better though. The last 30 minutes were shocking (bar a couple of moments)... why did we join Stoke in kicking long and high balls? Keep the ball on the ground, that's how you make them uncomfortable.
We weren't all that bad for a team missing it's first choice forwards and central midfielder and still could and probably should have won.
I'm pretty sure we'd have won easily with Rooney and/or Chicharito playing 90 minutes today.
