Darren Cann | Named as linesman vs Palace for his final game (p11)

[Ric]

Kudos to the OP for spotting this in the first place, and to those who flagged it on social media.

I guess it could work both ways, might feel he has something to prove to show he isnt in anyway considered biased towards Palace. Hopefully being one of the best linesman in english football (i know that probably doesnt say a great deal considering what we see on a weekly basis) means he might be less prone to utter incompetence. I worry far more about what they blatantly get wrong on a weekly basis than who he played youth team football for in the 80's.

That is just as bad as being biased in the first place and detracts from the integrity of objective officiating as well. Good call to withdraw him, putting him in just caused an issue where it need not exist

We need to do more of this with the officials,fans and the club,the rags have put pressure on appointments for years

 

[Chi-town blues]

Nice try FA.

This. Worrying issue is that the FA were prepared to allow this to happen. A shocking oversight or a deliberate error?

Don't f*** with Blue Moon!

Nice spot OP.

Probably oversight.

Does anyone know if the MEN knows anything about this. As this would make a good story for them to print it.

 

[SuperKevinHorlock]

Just a shame we still have that useless fu*k Mike Jones!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I await the appointment of that idiot from the Spurs game, a case of the FA making a point to ickle City.

 

[MCFC1993]

Don't know how it was even allowed in the first place, of course it's a conflict of interest.

 

[DTKOAG]

This place will go into meltdown once Taylor is appointed to next ref our game.

Can we have red circle where he should have been on the pic?

Sergio might get his penalty at last!

 

[bluwes]

I believe Cann is still running the line against West Ham next week. Watch out for him getting his revenge for him being taken off the Palace game

So that would have been 2 games in 4/5 days?

That sounds dodgy as fuck (puts on yet another tinfoil hat).

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I think if the FArce were being dodgy the would have been a bit more underhand about it. This situation highlights just how utterly incompetent the whole organisation actually is.

Alternatively, it's a huge double bluff designed to make us think they are being fair, when in fact they are going to ram rod us without even the courtesy of using lube.

Here's my reply from the FA to my email.

Thank you for contacting The Football Association.

Darren Cann was incorrectly listed as an official for the Emirates FA Cup fourth round fixture between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. This was due to an administrative error which has now been rectified.
