I thought the fact that he was from Huddersfield was the only bit discussed on here, not that he is a self-confessed fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think it's ill-advised, especially considering the Stroud incident was very recent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might well be the case but that's not how the world works. Implicit or unconscious bias happens by our brains making incredibly quick judgements and assessments of people and situations without us realising. Our biases are influenced by our background, cultural environment and personal experiences. He shouldn't be in charge of this game. Similar to when Kevin Friend was removed from Spurs games last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to when Kevin Friend was removed from Spurs games last season. I agree that he shouldn't be refereeing the game as it puts him under unnecessary pressure where genuine mistakes could be taken as bias, I still don't think he will show bias but I could be wrong. I would expect that his mind will be on nothing but the game, football is played at too fast a pace for him to start thinking about a team which isn't involved and how he can benefit them.

But if his pre-match thoughts are that he wants us to lose, then it's there subconsciously. It's just asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 If the scores stay the way they are now we should have the stadium bouncing for this game, no more worries about going up and everybody can relax and enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
