Yorkie Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Was not aware of that allegiance. Am I just imagining that he really is one of the better ones or am I all of a sudden bias towards him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Already knew he supported us, just posted it because it’s unusual for a current ref to display their affinity so openly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Is he actually a good referee? Wasn’t Clattenburg a good ref too? Having all the good ones support us could be the reason we get all the shit decisions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Clattenburg was regarded as the best in the league before he fucked off the SA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Remember Oliver was touted as the same back then. Paid next to fuck all attention the past couple years so not sure where he's at now like Edited December 27, 2021 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always said I have rated him. But probably a big part of that. Is down to the fact he supports NUFC, never refs us and so I don’t have any grudge against him for fuck ups he has made.

Am I just imagining that he really is one of the better ones or am I all of a sudden bias towards him? He's from Ashington. I've always had a bit of an irrational (although slightly justifiable) dislike of him, unfortunately. Objectively he looks to be a pretty good referee though whenever I've seen him on TV and he's done a load of high profile international games. Spoiler He's a couple of years younger than me and went to St Benet Biscop's High school for the catholics, whereas I went to Hirst High school for the heathens. He broadly lived in the same estate as me in Fallowfield and whenever I'd get the bus back home from school, him and his dickhead mates would often given me a bit of a hard time whenever they got on next to the old police station. Nothing overly harsh or extreme, I have to say, but it was a bit intimidating and I could have certainly done without it and it did inspire me to walk home more often! Admittedly, he was amongst the least bad of the bunch and I'm sure he's long since grown out of such behaviour (he's a referee, after all...) but I never forget. Maybe I unfairly judged him based on who he associated with. Anyway, it is good that he's approachable and seems like he's a decent enough guy.

Rafalove Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Watching England v Scotland 1972. Bob Moncur is playing. He was quite a handsome bastard back in the day, Bobby Moore looks silky as fuck. Overall play is pretty terrible though, Bremner looks decent and Gemill too, but nowt special. Already want to punch Bremner. They just seem to hoof the ball forward with no real care. Like the defenders just say to the strikers “look I put the ball in your third even though it’s 30 yards away it’s your responsibility to keep it up there and score”. Gordon Banks looks worse than Darlow. The fouls are amazing. They literally just kick each other knee height and push each other, and the ref just goes “oh come on now that”ll be enough of that now”. And they go “aye, ok” and the do it again two minutes later and the ref goes ”oh come in now that”ll be enough of that now” without even thinking about giving out a card. Crowd of 134,000 is canny though. Edited December 29, 2021 by Rafalove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 God I fucking hated Cantona, but he was so fucking good like. Couldn't help but love what he did there. Can you imagine how much you'd love a player like him playing for your team? I remember Vinnie Jones almost decapitating Rob Lee in '94ish, getting a red, and John Motson saying it was "incredibly harsh" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd of 134,000 is canny though. Aye that game came up on my YouTube recommendations a couple of weeks back. A good old fashioned kicking match, as many of the England Scotland games were back then. Bobby Moore was as good as I remembered and Moncur wasn't far behind, cool on the ball. I've always had a soft spot for Bob, he was our captain when I first went to the match. Obviously his legacy has been tainted recently, with his defence of Ashley, mind. Biggest surprise for me was seeing John Brownie at fullback for Scotland. I can't remember thinking much of him when he played for us a few years later, surprised he was capped to be honest, Scotland had some decent players in those days.
