MAN IN THE MIDDLE: Sheffield United (H) Club News We take a brief look at the referee appointed to take charge of this weekend's South Yorkshire derby at Oakwell against Sheffield United. Continue reading on the official site...
I'm going to stick my neck out and say he's going to be biased toward the away side and will go out of his way to ensure our run at Oakwell without a penalty continues (since October 2016)
He's another poor one, biased against us. Probably best remembered for twice letting opposition managers sub players that should have been sent off, Cardiff at home last season and Norwich away this season. 524 days and counting since our last home penno, by the way.
I complained to the FA about that and have had several email exchanges after being referred to the EFL I have still not received a satisfactory explanation as to why it isn’t flagged as a conflict of interest Seems they have some rules around conflict but that appointment wouldn’t fall under it which is mental
Its about time we played the game and spent as much time as the opposition in the refs ear, it clearly works against us, we need to get a bit more savvy.
