Until he refs us that is.

Why is he refereeing a league 1 match if he is that good?

Occasionally do drop them down leagues for 'big games'.

Well let's hope its first against second then. Had enough crap refs this year and Sheffield uniteds ref takes the biscuit.

Never like it when we get big name refs.

They often seem to think themselves more important than the teams and like to show whose boss.

More likely to get the decisions right though! And we've suffered some shockers this season....

I wonder how many fans Burton will bring?

he's a big villa fan................

Then I guess he'd want to see us go up and meet Villa in the Championship...

prem refs are not so lenient though and more likely to have penalties and red cards - as they ignore the fact that a bad challenge may be due to ability rather than malicious

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Yeah they are used to reffing a prem game which is much quicker than in L1 and probably less physical, so lets hope he puts in a decent performance and gives us loads of protection as we spank them 4-0.

Interesting point, look at how many times you see Cole have a word with the ref, I believe thats one area he can be a very good influence...

 

[robbiethemole]

maybe he can keep up with play, unlike some of the twats we've had lately
