First Wazzock 1,010 Posted August 5, 2019 I thought when he first started Reffing he was dreadful, nepotism at its best. I do have to admit he has greatly improved, but will he favour the big boys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 2,062 Posted August 5, 2019 He might, but I have great hope that VAR will level the playing field a bit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makham 82 Posted August 5, 2019 He's a Newcastle fan who didn't give a penalty when Matt Jarvis was brought down by Delaney at Palace back in April 2016. He shouldn't have been appointed for such an important game, as Newcastle were relegation rivals at the time. A Palace victory was the best result for Newcastle at the time. Those two games against Palace that season still rankle 😥. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,761 Posted August 5, 2019 Probably the best ref in the prem. Not sure how much that actually says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,167 Posted August 5, 2019 Oh, him. With Newcastle likely to be in the thick of relegation action this season, I’m sure he won’t be going out of his way to help us gain points anytime soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East Rider 589 Posted August 5, 2019 28 minutes ago, Leedscanary said: Prepare yourselves for VAR controversy, excuses will be made and don’t worry “it’s only Norwich” I can see it now. The referee will turn down an obvious penalty to Norwich in the 89th minute, VAR will overturn that poor decision and we win the game 0-1. This is of course not in the planning around the Premiership curtain raiser and as a result, with immense outrage and pressure from the supporters of Liverpool, VAR will be cancelled for the rest of the season pending a review held by giants of the game such as Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrence.

keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted August 6, 2019 Lot of people with a "eva so umble" attitude. Already convinced we are going to lose out. I am unconvinced about it at the moment, but the crucial issues will go to VAR. And I also believe he is the best official in the Prem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
