Mmm seems the LEP should have gone onto the official FA website to check

We could have had Rebecca Welch - mind you she’d do a better job than Hooper

Matthew Donahue v Blackburn

Not done us this season. Last season our home draw v Millwall and win v Wycombe when he did us all a big favour by sending off Vaulks

The previous season our home win v QPR but ominously our home defeat v .............Blackburn

 

Gavin Ward at Ashton Gate.
First time this season.
Mixed record for us over the past seasons.

 

Always strikes me as a little boy when I've seen him - never realised he's actually 51. Has he got a picture like Dorian Gray?

 

2 wins and 2 losses in last 2 seasons. Notable win, 2.1 away at Bournemouth. Worse loss 2.0 at Fulham.

We haven't had the pleasure of his company much in the last 10 years. Only another 2 games I could find.

 

He gave us a penalty which questionably without looking it up may have been our last penalty

 

David Webb v Forest. One home win and loss this season. Previous season he was a total Jonah including the 5-0 debacle at Sheff Wed.

 

A very poor record with us in last 3 seasons: -

7 games

1 win v Huddersfield this season

1 draw

5 defeats including the Wendies game Ninian mentioned.

Does not look good for Sunday.

 

The ref is the least of our concerns.

 

True but it would help if we had a ref who does not appear to be set against us from the start. They're as rare as rocking horse sh1t and hen's teeth.

 

Geoff Eltringham v Barnsley.

Not refereed us this season. Last season just one - an away win on the snow at Rotherham

 

Gone back 10 years. Apart from the game Nin mentions only 2 wins and lots of losses.

Both wins, 1.0 away at Burton and 1.0 away at Barnsley 10 years ago.

 

Gave Fulham a dodgy free kick in added in time in the play off semi from which they took the tie away from us

 

Ref at Anfield is Andy Madley.
A familiar ref for us a few years back with plenty of success but now a PL ref.
Last game was a 0-2 loss v Wednesday to open up last season.

ps His brother gave 4 penalties in one game last week- extraordinary.

 

Well hard on the heels of one PL ref we get another; Kevin Friend.
Not had a City game since our 3-0 home win v Huddersfield last season. Before that not since our last PL season.

 

Could be worse, Keith Stroud or the little, fat, bald, twat, Simon Hooper. I wouldn't have him on a Subuteo board. He would struggle to get around that.

The unfortunate thing is, we must be due to have his rotund self ref us before long. He's the only ref I boo when he's doing his warm ups (with some difficulty) before the game.

 

Steve Martin at the Den.
He fancies himself as a bit of a male model.
Did our opener v Barnsley.
Last season a win at Watford and before that a home loss v Forest and a draw at Charlton.

 

Add this completely incompetent poseur to the rogues gallery.
A shockingly poor performance. Allowed Millwall players to constantly get away with fouls and missed a home defender playing rugby in their box.

 

He is up again at CCS v Coventry after giving Morrison an early bath v Sheff U.
