The referee for Saturday is... Craig Pawson! :eek:

Seems to ref us a few times but think this will be the first time this season. He has got better over the years and I am hoping the recent run of premier league games hasn't gone to his head.

Should have sent off a Derby player against us in the play-offs and should have given us a penalty against Bournemouth last season so the Burnley game isn't the only time he's screwed us over.

I cannot imagine we would have been able to find any ref we'd have been pleased to have for this game.
We'd have something against most of them I expect :albion2:
But to have this guy, from that famous Burnley game does seem a bit extraordinary.

Mmm Craig Pawson, sent 2 off against the same side, probably got a right bollocking from players, manager and anyone else in ear shot and marked down badly on the sheet.
So the FL give him exactly the same game probably at his request.
Coincidence this is not.
It is how the powers that be behave in an antagonist we are in charge here kind of way.
Could have chosen any other ref.
It's all just a wind up, pathetic behaviour that does not surprise me at all.

In the Amex era Pawson has reffed 7 of Albion's matches, and our record is 2 wins and 5 losses in those matches.

The two wins were the St Patrick's Day Massacre and the 4-1 win at Leicester City in April 2014.

Oh well.

We're due a win from him then, I guess.

I don't think the ref had any part in those 3 results. The only one he did was in issuing the 2 reds in 2011. This will be his second time reffing us this season and the time it happened previously we lost the first and won the second. Also, it's about time we set the record straight.
