Fondop-Talom if he plays.

Preparing my four letter word vocabulary now then.

Don't judge some refs as being harsh if they issue more yellows and reds than others. How many times do we read on here that 'the ref' failed to card an opposition player when he committed a blatant foul on one of ours? Maybe - just maybe - it's the other refs who let players get away with murder that need to get to Specsavers, and help stop the cheating rot that's spreading throughout the game.

Or do those who bay for blood when a ref ignores incidents actually [I]enjoy[/I] the atmosphere it creates, and would claim that the game was turning into one for 'softies' if the aggression and cheating were taken out of it? Serious question!

Good post !

Some can be over zealous - some not strong enough - without the match officials we wouldn't have a game to watch.

Who's more likely to attract a yellow or worse for us ?

Fondop seems to pick them up with annoying ease.

Pearson for all his good attributes picks up too many avoidable ones.

When a player is suspended he is no use nor ornament to the cause.

Every booking and every point count at the end of the season.

To be honest refereeing must have got harder since all the diving foreigners arrived.

Re: saturdays referee
 

I just hope the ref spots those conning gits on the pitch who pretend to be injured and fall over too easily. It’s a curse spoiling our game. Book em or even send em off !

Those scumbags like Gary Bennett coming over the border. :)

In regards to the ref, he books fewer than 3 people a game which seems pretty lenient to me and less than the average of closer to 4!
