I'd say a fair statement, I still remember when we played Liverpool back in 2003, 1-1 home and lost 1-0 away (UEFA Cup) but in the game at Anfield the referee refused us a blatant penalty. But it was Liverpool, we seemed too small to bother the overwhelming odds even when we actually deserved it. I'm not saying we would've won, Liverpool could've beaten us 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 etc and still go through but being denied a penalty and a true chance to a deserved upset really felt like shite. I understand your frustration but I also have to caution you ... continental referees are very different from british ones.
