They're both PL reerees aren't they, hopefully won't be so easily tricked by Zaha and Bolasie's play acting.

Have to hope that Michael Oliver stays fit on Friday seeing who is
4th official!

Willy Dangle · May 7, 2013

They should use the same officials in both legs.

it could be worse we could have shitty Andy D'Urso

I have heard the name Michael Oliver but cant find any details, probably looking on the wrong site. What is his record this season and the general opinion of his ability.

I cant understand why people say that he used to be awful but in recent games he has been quite good .

Looking at their records Oliver looks a pretty lenient ref.

Clattenburg has sent as many off as anybody this season in the premiership

MICHAEL OLIVER, gives a lot of home pens, not so many away pens. favours the home team. has been known to give pens for diving (swansea v arsenal last year). Youngest ref on the prem.

That would make sense to me, but imagine the uproar if one team perceived they'd been done an injustice in the first leg - the second leg could be very tricky with the same officials.

Oliver was the ref for us vs Arsenal, and Clattenberg officated between us and Millwall.

Also looks like Oliver has reffed 21 PL games this year, dishing out 59 bookings, 1 red and 5 penalties..

Clattenberg on the other hand has reffed 21 PL games this year, dishing out 67 bookings and 4 red cards. He has given 4 penalties.

That's a combined 9 penalties in 42 games..

Yeah be good that.

Joe Gatting's Dad · May 7, 2013

Oliver may well seem to be a homer. But, I imagine more home teams win penalties than away as they tend to create greater pressure being at home - nothing to do with bias.

Coldeanseagull · May 7, 2013

Both a couple of sensible refs in my opinion, fairly young but good experience. We could have done a lot worse
