James Linnington back at CCS on Wednesday. Well up until a few seasons back he was our 12th man but it all went pear shaped at the Liability stadium in 2021-22 season (although we didn’t have him last season) and from then he’s been a Jonah including a red card for both Bacuna and Jack Simpson in heavy away defeats.<doh>

Oh no, another banker.

Wrong consonant again. Where's Rachel Riley when you need her?
 
Josh Smith tomorrow

He’s the guy who failed to send off Madine for his assault on Ng

That will never be forgotten.

Going back to Wednesday night I don't think we can even criticise Mr. Linnington for that.

We were so poor we didn't give him any decisions to make in their penalty area.

Oh for the days of Burke, Noone, Chopra etc. They knew how to go down like a bag of sh1t when touched in the penalty area.

A return to CCS for sometime Premier League ref Darren Bond - the one who once had an alice band.

Last seen here in the late win versus Sheff Wed last season.
 
After a most inconsistent and a touch of ‘look at me I now do Premier League games’ from Mr Bond yesterday what awaits us over the Christmas break?

At Oxford will be Gavin Ward; a home win and a home loss this season. His last away game was our avoidable defeat at Ipswich last season.

At Watford will be Sam Allison; 3 wins from 3 last season. All good things come to an end:emoticon-0138-think

At home v Coventry will be Geoff Eltrincham; last seen at CCS in our play off semi defeat by Fulham. I seem to recall a suspect foul given very late on which led to Fulham getting a vital second goal.:headbang:

Let’s see how these 3 men get on in this vital and possibly season (and the future of Riza?) defining period for City.

Ding Dong Bell did our recent 2 2 draw at Cov, our 2.0 defeat at Southampton last season and our 3.1 win at Wigan the season before.
I think we've seen him at CCS but couldn't be ar$ed to go further back.
Thank goodness it’s not gym bunny Martin.

Or Keith Stroud but he hasn’t refereed since August.
 
A quick return to South Wales for Dean Whitestone as the ref for Saturdays game versus the snowmen.

Have to go back to sept 2021 for our last win under his whistle.

Ps He sent off Darling last night. <applause>
