Confirmation bias, basically. Football fans are by nature partisan and it's all quite tribal.
So generally you tend to remember incidents which go against you and feel hard done by and don't remember so well when things go for you.
I don't believe that we are uniquely persecuted by referees, simply because fans of every team seems to think that.

BUT...the stats which have been posted above don't look good, we haven't been getting the rub of the green this year. It could be that referees bias, perceiving us as a "dirty team", which we're not, is a factor.
