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

[Blue Smarties]

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.

Charge the ****s.

Charge the ****s.

only if I get a cut for putting it up here first ;P.

We're facing a charge due to one of these 'administrative errors'...

Second time they've incorrectly listed him for a palace match in 8 months, are there any more or are we keeping an eye for the next 4 months?

 

[eyejay51]

Aren't they trying to screw us over due to an administrative error regarding players locations and drug testing?

Edit - whoops - already been mentioned .... true though.

Perhaps when they make an "admin error" they should also be vilified in the national media as some form of fucking cheats!
Same as forgetting to fill in a bit of paperwork really isnt it?

This guy an ex youth for them is officiating the Palace game as his last PL game

This guy an ex youth for them is refereeing the Palace game as his first PL game as a referee

Apparently, to balance it up they've put ex City youth player R. Giggs on as VAR. So, that's alright then...

Our ref is Jarred Gillett?

One of the linos isn’t he?

Are people deliberately bumping years old threads?

He’s the lino for tomorrow so this will be the latest conspiracy theory……

I don't see it as a conspiracy but he surely shouldn't be anywhere near a Palace game?

Maybe, maybe not. Personally, couldn’t care less. I cannot imagine, for one second, he’ll be wondering whether to give us a throw in or a corner based on him being at Palace as a kid.

If Darren Cann has played for them at youth level as this thread shows he shouldn't be an official involving them in any capacity imo

Thank god for auto offsides then ;)

Hopefully he won’t want his last game to be remembered for giving any even slightly controversial call in Palace’s favour

He's the best around.

Let's be honest; it's a low bar.

Tend to agree, but this guy is generally very good.
