Dear Sir/Madam, May I just congratulate yourselves on appointing Mr Uriah Rennie as the match official in the recent League One fixture between Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers. I'm sure Mr Rennie was more than happy to officiate a game where his beloved Doncaster Rovers were playing. How can The Football League hand out 3 match bans to both Neil Austin and Antony Kay of Barnsley for their red cards, has anyone actually seen a replay of these incidents yet? Or is it just going on Mr Rennie's decision? I put it to you that Mr Rennie is not fit to referee non-league football, nevermind at League One standard. Which, surely is one of the reasons he was demoted from the Premiership?If he is not fit to referee in the Premiership, why should us lower league fans have to put up with his inabilities? And finally, whose decision was it to let Mr Rennie officiate the upcoming LDV Vans Trophy clash between the same teams? That is yet another absolutely shocking decision. The Football League and Football Association really have not put themselves in good light here. I hope for your own sake, the sake of Barnsley Football Club, and the two players, Neil Austin and Antony Kay, that you look into the red cards, watch the replay's, and maybe forget the fact that Mr Rennie is either a Doncaster Rovers fan, or at least favours them over Barnsley. To appoint a referee to officiate a team who he trains with is a disgraceful decision, especially in a Derby match, when obviously tempers are going to flare. Yours sincerely, John Fahey
nope He trains with Shefifeld Wednesday's backroom staff as he is the manager of Hillsborough Sports Centre. Why travel all the way to Doncaster, when he pop over to Hillsborough? He is also still a Premiership referee having reffed four premiership games this season? Do you actually know anything about football? Retard.
A donny fan... calling someone a retard. Now that IS funny. He's a liability...you'll be pleased to see him back at the LDV Vans Trophy match up...wonder if he'll bring his yellow card this time too, and actually take note of the Donny fouls. I used to like your club...too much like Sheffield Wednesday these days though, unfortunately.
RE: Does Uriah Rennie train with Doncaster Rovers? No, he does not train with us. Why would he? He lives in Sheffield & Sheffield have two teams! He is still a Premiership referee - The Football League use Select Group officials from time to time, normally in matches when they are expecting trouble. The Rovers chairman though the Supporter-Direct has commented on one of the Rovers forums, that Rennie saw elbow and stamping incidents as well, but didn't want lynching otherwise he might have taken further action.
RE: nope Thats a lot of words for a Donny fan.... in the right order and everything, mind you the spellings a bit off,suppose its hard getting all the kids and a teacher in the caravan at the same time(wnkr)
RE: A donny fan... Were the Donny players the ones: -Stamping -Elbowing -Pulling players hair YOu were lucky you finished with only 9 men
And you skirt the fact that you've sent a factually incorrect e-mail proving that you actually don't know what you are on about to the Football League is hilarious. You make three errors and expect anyone to treat it with any intrest. Bet that gets treated seriously. How are you allowed to e-mail during first year Maths anyway? Don't care whether you like us or not, Hardly going to loose sleep over it. Now, concentrate, your teacher is about to start talking about Pi.
RE: nope yawn, it's rather sad to see you descend into vitirol and abuse due the lack of cognitive skills available to you. You make Rotherham fans look like members of MENSA.
RE: A donny fan... Like you could see that lot,actually the Donny players were kicking pushing forearming oh and going down like they'd been shot if anybody looked at em wrong and that for me is the worst do'nt hand it out if you can't take it (givinfinger)
RE: actually rennie has been demoted Has he? Must have seen a different bloke called Uriah Rennie reffing in the Wigan Middlesborough game this season then. Keep telling yourselves you're right and you'll begin to believe it.
RE: 'Pulling Hair' We're laughing at your lot. 3 games 9 goals for 1 against 4 Dingles off 1 Rover off Try and make a game of it next time please.
RE: 'Pulling Hair' We'll have a go old pal. Tell me again, do you get extra points for beating us ? As far as I'm concerned you lot have the hex over us at the mo, so that's that. But I'm afraid some of you are getting a bad case of Wednesday-itis.
