How does that work? I thought refs aren't allowed to ref in games that could affect their team's outcome/position?

Whitley mag Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Oliver reffed a Liverpool game will be the response but it fucking stinks to high heaven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I quite liked the Bruno/Big Joe double pivot after we switched from the horrible idea of Joelinton in the 6 alone. That again, willock left, Miggy right and Isak just off Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not. refs declare who they support and they are prohibited from reffing their games. Where they are based has no impact. In theory you could have a Leeds fan living in Leazes terrace who is allowed to ref us and a Newcastle fan living in Devon who can’t. logically you would expect a high % of refs to live in the North West due to the number of teams there and in the midlands and refs wanting to limit their travel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't know why they would put a Liverpool supporting referee in this position. He's clearly going to be wanting Brighton to win which could clearly affect his judgement. There's a big pool of PL referees and only 1 game scheduled for tomorrow. It just feels so unnecessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool weren't in the running then though - and are only in the running thanks to some dubious referring decisions. PL would love Liverpool/Man U to make CL ahead of us.

TomYam Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The PL, UEFA, the media and commercial entities will always want ManU, Arsenal and Liverpool to qualify for the CL and compete for the biggest trophies. The odds are stacked in their favour. I don't believe there's an agenda against other clubs. In fact I suspect the majority of the aforementioned groups would rather we competed at the top than Brighton because our club garners more interest and is more newsworthy.
