I haven't seen this posted yet, apologises if it has!

Poyet blasts ref appointment From The Argus)

We will now get NO sympathy at all from the ref, I cannot believe Poyet has said this. We were all thinking it, but for a game of this importance why berate the referee before we even play? It#s 11v12 from kick-off now

Reverse sycology. The Ref will think 'better make it up to him'.

Managerial equivalent of player tripping the ref. Not clever. Should learn when to keep his mouth shut.

He wasn't seething about it as such. He seemed a bit perplexed perhaps that a bigger name referee wasn't appointed.

The 'radio' should de-tune!

Not the cleverest thing to do but does not really surprise as he is becoming a rather tiresome media whore these days.

Bet if it all goes tits up Sunday he will be mailing his CV to Chelsea

How many times does Sir Alex do the same and the ref then gives everything to Utd as he realises he is under scrutiny. Good move by GUS he is learning the game of manager fast.

He has to produce a promotion for Tony Bloom - the best sugar daddy of a chairman he'll ever have in his entire managerial career - first. Else he'll just end up as another also-ran like Di Canio. Micky Adams could tell him a thing or two about the Premier League biting you in the bum.

I was expecting the biggest Premier League referee available to come to this game.

Why would he be expecting the biggest PL Ref available? To the outside world, this game isn't any bigger than most others.

Difference being Sir Alex is a very powerful man in football and his comments can tarnish your reputation. Utd are also a massive club so the pressure will be greater on the ref as so many are watching.

Gus on the other has no sway on such matters and we are a provincial club. Makes the ref more likely to spite us than try to make atonement in my opinion.

Exactly what I thought.. Always works for him :shrug:

He's just reminding the referee that he owes us big time after his farcical performance in that Burnley game.

Hiney · Mar 15, 2013

Great stuff.

Love it.

BensGrandad · Mar 15, 2013

We are as big as anybody in Pawson's eyes as he rarely if ever does Premier matches and he must be well aware of how the media and press love Gus and he knows from past experience he will be slated in the headlines if he goes to past form.

Uh_huh_him · Mar 15, 2013

Disagree..... Reverse psychology at work here...

Pawson knows he made a total twunt of himself in the Burnley game..
reminding him of this stands more chance of working in our favour than against us.

Let's face it.... he know he owes us... Gus has reminded him how shit he was last time....
Fully expect the him to brick it and give us the 50/50 s.

Sunday is a day when not many games are being played. Why provide a referee of the lower echelons when there are many who will have the day off?

As an aside, why would there be such a disparity in refereeing? If all top flight games were played at the same time, that would tie up 10 brilliant referees.

You are deluded comparing perhaps the most influential club manager possibly in the world to little precocious Gus

It is all relative to the standard of the teams and the refs involved and with this match being one of 6 matches on Sunday of which 2 in the Premier and 1 in The Championship are local derbies. He will realise he could be the focus of attention for the press and will do all to get a good press I would think.

severnside gull · Mar 15, 2013

actually think it is no bad thing as the ref will be very aware of the need to justify his decisions and act impartially.

If he was a decent ref I think it could work for us but unfortunately he really is a shit ref so dont expect the game to end 11-a-side

Willy Dangle · Mar 15, 2013

Yep he was a twunt but a bigger man than me, f"'''d if I would come back to The Amex and run around in black, at our most important game of the season, 26000 fans gunning for you.

Think about it.
