I see they've given HOOPS the much-anticipated Devon derby, between promotion-chasing Plymouth and bang-in-form, hated local rivals Exeter. Can't see what could go wrong there!

Sounds an excellent choice. All fans want an exciting atmosphere at these games. Just the man to whip one up. Well done, everybody.

We have Stephen Martin for the Burton game. I've never heard of him. I hope he doesn't make us remember his name come 5pm on Saturday...

Wasn't he the one who sent off two Newcastle players against Forest? The ones who had their cards rescinded once the FA had realised Newcastle players had been sent off by mistake

No, you're mistaken.

He was actually the one that rightly sent off two Newcastle players, for kicking out at an opponent and denying a goal-scoring opportunity respectively. That the FA *independent* panel caved in to big-club pressure and overturned both decisions, really should not reflect on the ref at all.

Nah he didn't kick out, was just a spasm. Jonjo not known for this sort of thing.

Murphy last season though, that was just downright VICIOUS from a known thug.

Shelvey seems a genuinely horrible prick. He did exactly the same thing in their home game v QPR last week, and went completely unpunished.

You're not wrong. He's also done similar things in the past, can't place exactly when. Just makes it all the more puzzling that it was rescinded unless they felt sorry for him knowing his imminent (minimum) ban for racist remarks.

Stephen Martin reffed our home game against Villa this season (3 yellows - 1 for us (Dunk) and 2 for them), our 1-0 home win over Reading last season (2 yellows - 1 for us (Stephens) and 1 for them) and our 3-2 defeat at Brentford last season (3 yellows - 2 for us (Dunk and Baldock) and 1 for them).

Seems a rather unremarkable history with us.

He's fit for Saturday I heard
It's unlikely that a reliable source would tell you the truth. People saw Bruno before our game against Cardiff and he said he'd be playing. Turns out someone was lying.
