Are the FA genuinely avoiding giving him our games? Is that something the FA do, other than when the ref has declared a club loyalty?

It's a bigger panel than I would have guessed at, so it's a bit early to believe they are trying to keep him away from us.

Don't think so. Is there are a set of Premier League fans he hasn't upset at some point? He's a truly awful referee who makes game changing mistakes on a very regular basis. I'm completely baffled as to why he continues to be employed as a Premier League referee. He and the FA/Premier League are probably completely unaware of how much we dislike him. I just hope when we do get him, it's a home game, so he can get the abuse he deserves. Never forget.

Does it really matter?

We've 'won' anyway and TBH he probably did the club (but not Tony's bank balance) a favour, judging by how we gained promotion and taken that effort into this league,

I believe the Albion did once make such a request about Prosser the Tosser after the Sheffield United debacle at Withdean.

This is correct. Swap Boro's season last year with ours, and subsequently both teams start to this season, and who comes out on top? I will happily abuse the ****, but I'm not sad about how history panned out.

Best not get too excited. At the ten game mark Boro had 10 points and actually looked quite healthy going into Xmas. Once the new year kicked in they totally fell apart. Lets not count chickens just yet!

What season was that!?

Last season after 10 games played they were P10 W1 D4 L5 PTS 7 their solitary win against Sunderland. Looked far from healthy losing 3 of their 4 home games. By Xmas they'd won just 4 games granted they only won 1 more after that,

I will never forget what that man did. I was in the stadium. It was right in front of me. If he ever officiates a Brighton game again I'm there to let him know what I think of him.

Incorrect. They beat Bournemouth in game 10 and then drew with Man City having already got a point off Arsenal leaving them on 11 points from 11 games. Not too different to our current position. If they had mirrored their first half of the season in the second they would have stayed up.

I'm sure I remember reading that because we made a official complaint about him, he could ref us for a period of time. That does surprise me, but sure it was in Argus

The only teams they beat all season were Sunderland, Bournemouth, Hull and Swansea. They also lost to Palace, twice.

Point taken, I missed the Bournemouth win. So they were 7pts after 9, compared to our 11. Will be interesting to see how it compares after 11 or 12 played. I'm being far too optimistic going into our next 3 fixtures for my own good.
