    Good to see the goal line technology works, much to the unhappiness of the Rovers defender who did well to clear it.

    Premier League ref at Turf Moor - Michael Salisbury.

    Last seen in our away win at Reading a few seasons back.

    He also did our 2.1 loss to Huddersfield in 22/23, a 1.0 loss to Cov and 2 away wins, both 2.1, at QPR and Reading in 21/22.

    I think we saw him a few times before then as well.

    Question:

    Is Burnley still in Lancashire? I believe the answer is yes.

    Salisbury is from? Wait for it........Lancashire.

    How can that be right?

    Lancashire is a big county and Salisbury was born just outside Preston so there probably won't be a lot of love lost.

    Still close. Would we be happy with a ref from Neef for a Swansea game.

    Bad example I know. Do they play football in Neef?

    More to the point Good to see the goal line technology works 'for US'
    With my memory not being what it was have we ever been helped by technology?
    What have the VAR TEAM ever done for us?

    Sorry Andy but I’m not giving you the water systems
    If the Romans did give us irrigation, wouldn’t they have given the concept to Rotherham too?

    I don't think we can blame the Romans. We should probably blame the Angles;

    n the 1st century AD, the Romans built a fort by the river Rother. In time civilians moved nearby and a little town grew up. (The soldiers provided a market for the townspeople’s goods). However, in 407 AD, the Roman army left Britain. Afterward, Roman civilization broke down and Roman settlements were abandoned.

    Modern Rotherham was founded by a people called the Angles. They started a settlement called Rother Ham, which means the village by the Rother. At the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 Rotherham was a small village. It probably had a population of less than 100. Rotherham had a watermill where grain was ground to flour.

    I suppose you can blame the Angles to some degree.

    It's Oliver Langford for the jack game - wasn't it him who reffed the watergate game at Rotherham?

    EDIT..............and Keith Stroud is the 4th official. <doh>
