Friday - Referees Assistant is from Barnsley

[bhanutz]

Which is approx 10ish miles from Sheffield....We should be allowed an assistant from Worthing for the home leg!

 

[lawros left foot]

I 'll do it,

 

[bhanutz]

can you imagine the uproar if he gives a contentious decision to Wednesday? The FA must love the grief!

 

[neilbard]

Can we have one who supports Sheffield United

Pffft. Living in Barnsley makes him no more likely to be a Wednesday fan as Rotherham, Blades, Leeds or Doncaster Rovers.

Besides. Having that nice neutral Mr Dean on Saturday didn't work out too well, did it?

 

[Gazwag]

Might he actually not like Wednesday then

But he is still from South Yorkshire...At least an assistant from Worthing would be from a different county!

Are you implying that Barnsley have got no fans Edna?

The one from Worthing will probably be a Derby fan!

The official in question is the one who flagged to give Liverpool their late penalty at Castle Greyskull a couple of months ago, thus sending Palace to a last ditch defeat, royally pissing off Alan Pardew and causing home fans to start online petitions demanding the FA order the game to be replayed

Sounds like a bloody great linesman to me.

Lets hope that is the case!

 

[Cheggers]

Then we should definitely start with O'Grady. He may hold some sway over the result.

Great idea to field an ineligible player.

 

[Cheggers]

Eh?!

I can't see your face so I don't know whether you are joking or not.

He should have been promoted on that alone!

O'Grady is not registered to Albion until after the season officially ends on June 30th.

There is absolutely no way that anyone from Yorkshire should be involved in officiating a game involving a Yorkshire team.

There is apparently no diligence in the allocation of match officials and the whole process should be a lot more transparent.

I remain quite surprised that Pawson was given our game against Burnley having sent off 2 of our players previously.

 

[Cheggers]

Thanks? Well, he's shite anyway so shouldn't get near the first 11...But he used to play for Barnsley...The ref might have fond memories of him. Admittedly a crap joke which I apologise for. Am I being double bluffed?

I totally agree...There has to be a diligence process, surely?
