    Simulation is supposed to be a mandatory caution already. Though I cannot for the life of me remember the last person to get one.

    United Thread | 2024/25

    Thought Scholes was funny last night. Said that for 82 minutes this was utds worst performance of the season. True. Then he asked Amorim why the team played with no enthusiasm for 80 minutes. Now I had had a few but didn't Amorim seemed to respond by saying that they had enthusiasm just no...

    Last Film You Saw

    Yesterday I watched The Swimmers on Netflix. Very good and thought provoking. Then I watched the original True Grit. Must be 40 years since I last seen it. You forget how good John Wayne was at these roles. Didn't realise either that he was in the 1st Star Wars film.

    Was listening to talksport (I know) and Emmanuele Petit was on. For some bizarre reason he was asked what he thought of Amorim and his impact on utd. He basically said Amorim has taken utd backwards and will be gone in 18 months.

    What is the daftest thing you've seen at a City match?

    When I started reffing I was about to ref a Sunday morning league game. The secretary of one of the teams came up to me and asked if it was OK for 1 of the players to play with a cast and on. I said it was fine as long as it was padded. Imagine my shock when their keeper came on with a cast...

    Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

    When I 1st started I had a durham county cup game between Barnard Castle Glaxo and Consett Methodist church. Glaxo leading 17 0 so both captains kept asking me to blow up for full time. So I blew on 86 minutes. That week I received a call from the FA advising me that I had been reported for...

    City @ Vale Park

    I got a ticket once for the away game against Vale. We got our tickets a week beforehand from a tout outside Maine Road. I seem to think it was a cup game. When we got there I told my 2 mates to be on our best behavior as the tickets were in the home end and we didn't want to be clocked as...

    A friend of the sister in law was in the queue at the time Beckham suddenly appeared. She confirmed he was never at the back of the queue and security let him in a lot closer to the front as they thought it would be a security issue.

    Punk and New Wave thread.

    About 6 years ago my son was lead guitarist for a punk band called the Antiseptics. Asked me if I fancied going with him to one of his gigs in Sheffield to which I declined. The next day he rang and said that I would really have liked the headline band. It was only the New Model Army. If...

    Hardly a good ambassador or dad/husband. I would urge you to read the book by Tom Bower last year
