Bearing in mind the furore over the additional tyime he played waiting for Newcastle to score, last night's performance was a bit of a contrast

The difference? Could it be that the home team was attacking on Saturday and the away team was attacking last night? Or just that he favours the bigger team?

anyone got a video to see whether it really was as bad as it sounds?

Whilst I wont get involved in a meaningless discussion about the rights &/or wrongs of 'time keeping'......

In the 1st round of the 1978 world cup, welsh ref Clive Thomas famously denied Zico of Brasil a winning goal 'at the death' V's Sweden.

A corner was awarded to Brasil & as Zico rose to head the ball into the net, Mr Thomas blew for full time. As the Laws of the game state, a FULL 90 mins must be played, injury/extra/over time is ALWAYS a MINIMUM of time to be added on.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I really don't think we need to worry about finishing above Swansea, although I think we will need to finish above one of the sides currently above us - I'm convinced one of the current bottom 3 will escape

Referees and officials ruin matches on a weekly basis. The standard is appalling and it is now at the stage that I truly believe it is deliberate.

Not a chance you only get the job if you have never played the game at any sort of standard.
Most were Prefects at school or the ones who never got picked at PE who were seen running around the field in black plimsolls doing aeroplane impressions.

The world was a mess but his hair was perfect!
