Mancini: 'The rules are not the same for everyone'

Whilst the Italian refused to single out any incidents, his comments come in the light of Manchester United's Ashley Young facing accusations of diving in recent weeks.Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has expressed his belief that “the rules are not the same for everyone” when it comes to refereeing decisions.And, whilst the Italian refused to single anybody out, his comments come after Manchester United's Ashley Young received widespread criticism for penalties which he won against QPR and Aston Villa at Old Trafford.“After some of the some of the situations I saw in the last three or four weeks, I think it is really difficult for us,” Mancini told reporters."When I was in Italy I always thought here [in England] there were the best referees. My idea has changed, probably."The rules are not the same for everyone."Carlos Tevez was booked for diving in the club’s 6-1 win over Norwich City last time out; a decision with which Mancini was clearly frustrated.Despite his side's recent renaissance and some of his squad publicly declaring their belief that they can overhaul Manchester United, Mancini maintains his stance that the title race is over."I am happy because they believe but, for me, I [still] have the same feeling. I think it is very difficult," he reiterated."Five points are too much and, I repeat, there are some strange situations that I do not like - we don't have any chance.“I stay with my opinion for the next four weeks - I don't change. The title is gone."
