Sunderland have had some shocking decisions go against them like the one at Derby. They had a perfectly good injury time winner against Villa ruled out and then lost to Reading the next week when the ball didn't cross the line. Add to that decisions such as not getting stonewalled penalties at Birmingham and Liverpool, Prica having a good goal dissallowed against Birmingham at the SoL and Emile Heskey scoring for Wigan when clearly onside. There have been a couple go with Sunderland, most notably Stern John scoring against Birmingham while the keeper was fouled, but the above mentioned penalty would have meant the same result. The only other possible game-changing decision that has went for Sunderland was against Fulham, when they had a goal dissallowed for a foul on the defender but even that could have went either way, and it is clear to see why the referee gave the decision.
