    and a linesman from Scunny be in our favour on Saturday, or will they over compensate, or do they even like City? Questions, questions!

    QPR’s return to the Premier League against Hull City this Saturday will be refereed by Sheffield official Craig Pawson, who made his top flight debut last season.

    Referee >>> Craig Pawson (Sheffield), highly thought of young official who is embarking on his first full season in the Premier League after ten top flight appointments last season.

    Assistants >>> Simon Long (Cornwall) and Dave Bryan (Scunthorpe)

    You'd think with it being their job, they'd remain professional and neutral..

    Can't be arsed to check but I'm sure Pawson reffed us away at Liverpool last season.

    And in the back of my mind another game.........

    He didn't make a name for himself so he must have been OK

    He's young and trying to make his way. It, like all PL games are recorded if not shown live, so many cameras, so many ways for people to point out how badly you've done, so no, I do not think he will be biased.

    I think he'll be professional and try to ref a game of football while dealing with players who cheat and lie and scream, plus managers doing the same, while thousands of fans all do the same, all also while having every second of his performance filmed, scrutinised and critiqued.

    I know some of them are twats, but honestly, I wouldn't wanna do it. Imagine having your day at work filmed in the same way.
