CharlieFarlie 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers has questioned referee Michael Oliver''s appointment for their Championship clash at play-off chasing Millwall. Rodgers believes Oliver will become a "good referee" but is worried the Millwall game could be a big "test.""I hope the referee is able to deal with the moment," said Rodgers Good Luck with that LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 5,246 Posted April 29, 2011 It really makes you feel good that yet another club has joined the whinging and moaning band of failures.The solution is simple guys,just win all your games over the last couple of months and we would not be a problem to you would we?

Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Given that it''s Michael Oliver, it''s a fair point .... we''ve got D''Urso Monday and lots of people are moaning about that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Mustard 106 Posted April 29, 2011 Perhaps D''Urso may just have a conscience and be a tad kinder to us this time? Thinking back to Ipswich away, the Ref for that game was hardly even-handed but we still scored five. We''ll need a similar performance on Monday - maybe we won''t score as many - but get the performance right and surely we''ll win it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
priceyrice 133 Posted April 29, 2011 Ha i just saw this on the BBC and was going to post it on here. Rodgers has a fair point to be honest, Oliver is the FA''s golden boy and all he has done this year is be utter boolocks! i think he has been dropped from the prem 4/5 times for shocking performances, and we all know what happened against Reading, one of the worst decisions i have ever seen.Guarantee he won''t ever make a world cup/european cup referee but instead become one of the most hated referees in football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both decisions were later rescinded. He should have been removed from the PL lists and given time to learn his trade in the lower divisions / leagues. Given the history I think Rogers has a valid point, albeit it''s bad form to speak out publicly (IMO). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
