Saturday's Match officials v QPR

Ok, the season is nearly upon us and the Premier League have announced the match officials for Saturday's game at Loftus Road against QPR.

The referee is Lee Probert and I thought it would make a nice change if we could talk about events on rather than off the field.

So, thought's please, good bad or indiffferent ? Personally I'm quite happy, he's not a card happy ref and was fourth official at Wembley against reading so could be a lucky charm.

Depends how they've been dictated to ref the games this season. Hopefully more punishment for backchat and diving

 

The way QPR play, Dill, perhaps we do want a card happy referee. They have a habit of getting stuck in and Hughes always asks that of his players. We, generally, do not concede as many free kicks as other teams so a card happy ref should help keep the other lot in check - providing we don't do anything daft of course.

 

Very happy to be playing QPR right out of the gate as I believe they will grow into a top ten team by seasons end . Would play Agustien & Michu with Britton for this one .

 

Apparently we've had Lee Probert the last three times we've played QPR and he's does tend to be a homer ref so not expecting any help from him if Hughes's side use their usual robust style.

 

I didn't know that, oh well law of averages say he owes us one then.

 

Homer = Biased towards home teams Dilli? Had to think about that one for a second .

 

draw game all over it. some of the Sundays say we are going to win....2-2 for me...

 

Personally I don't take any notice of who the match officials are. They all do the job in an even-handed, unbiased manner to the best of their ability. (Allegedly).
