Two points well made
Hardly any ref is a fan of a ‘top’ team
Ive been banging on about foreign refs for a while
There was always a call for Collina to have a season in the PL.I'm retiring if you have agreed with a post of mine!
Like you say no reason at all foreign refs can't be used. They shouldn't have any club loyalties and saves nonsense like this even being brought up. They also seem to be from what I seen much more competent in doing their job.
Well said Tom.He was the ref when we played and beat Liverpool 2-1 a few years back wasn't he? Rodgers was quick to complain about his performance and how a ref from Manchester shouldn't be reffing a team from Manchester. He wasn't too bad that day, Liverpool had a goal disallowed (wrongly) but that was the linesmen rather than Taylor. Taylor also missed their defenders attempts at every corner to get inside our players. Rodgers point was right though and all would agree that he shouldn't do any game involving City, United, Liverpool.

I’m going to disagree with you now.No reason why it couldn't have happened either. Other than the powers that be want to dictate clearly. Even if there is no dodgy reason behind picking him (which there probably is) then it is just sheer stupidity and shows just how thick those at the top are.

Mason reffed that match.
Because they absolutely despise the chicken grievers, most Mancunians reds hate City (on derby day any way) but the level of vitriol goes up a notch or two with these, no way would there be fair officiating.I agree he shouldn't do any City or rag game but why shouldn't he ref Liverpool games?
No you’re wrong.The CL refs get hammered on here. They’re foreign?
He also reffed United QPR when QPR were in a relegation battle with, surprisingly, BoltonThe Bolton ref who can ref Burnley vs Manchester City weirdly.
Barring of refs seems a bit random.
