Looks like Rebecca Welsh will be promoted to the PL next season. I was her mentor in her 1st season & she was by far the best ref I have ever worked with. Don't know if I should offer congratulations or condolences

Oliver is a master of the dark arts of tilting the playing field in favour of a particular team without making it look blatant. He does just enough to get in the players heads and then allows frustrations to boil over. A classic example of this tactic in recent years was Taylor v Chav's at our gaff when Serge and Fern got sent off.Oliver is just about the worst out there,his ability to infuriate is next level.
Thankfully we seem to have been able to cope with that kind of bullshit over the last couple of seasons without losing the plot, but who knows with the extra pressure on the lads???

My take is that if referees are making honest mistakes, they even out over a prolonged period of time. My first game was in 1968 so there is a lot of favourable (honest mistakes) decisions coming our way.I thought it was great and has increased my trust in them somewhat.
That should be a weekly one hour programme. Make the referees accountable for their decisions but, more importantly, gain greater trust between the fans and the referees.
I personally do not think the refs are corrupt. I just think they are doing an incredibly hard job, not well enough.
But even then, if they just showed us how they came to decisions, even if they’re wrong, I’d trust them so much more. I would totally accept wrong decisions if they were honest and made accountable.
Get that on Sky every week as a programme!

Oliver v. Chelsea. Need a mass murder to get a penalty our way then, unless we're four goals to the good.

He did two group games. Since the World Cup he’s only done two Europa games for UEFA. Seems he’s a bit out of favour at the moment.

Phew. Hopefully it stays that way for at least two more games.He did two group games. Since the World Cup he’s only done two Europa games for UEFA. Seems he’s a bit out of favour at the moment.

Well the referee for tomorrow is the Polish guy who did the World Cup Final, so they’ve seemingly got their top man on the job. Probably best holding judgement for 24 hours though. I don’t think he’s done a City game before.
