[Chicken Mcgraw]

This will please the conspiracy theorists… referee on Saturday is (according to Rob Gurney) Stuart Attwell

Assume we don't like him?? I can never remember the names of them. I just know that 99% of them are dreadful so assume he's not in the 1%?!

He has never referred us but is from Nuneaton. Guessing it’s us or Leicester 🫣

According to this (not sure how accurate), he's never reffed us: Stuart Attwell - Record by club

Is he even allowed to if he's from Nuneaton?

Apparently a Luton Town fan as well:

It is openly known who some Premier League referees support, whereas with others it is less clear.

Well he should be grateful we gave Luton the 3 points.

It was Forest who brought the Luton connection to light when their chairman ranted on twitter I think?

Lol beat me to it!

He's never reffed Luton either...

Hopefully he's not one of the refs who got bullied at school for being crap at football or if he did that it was by his Leicester supporting classmates and not City.

The assistant VAR for the wolves game is also one of the linesperson/assistants for Saturday. Natalie Aspinall. One of the top drawer female officials along with Sian Massey.

 

[robbiethemole]

He suffers 'little man' syndrome like Keith Stroud, but hopefully he lets the game flow.

Send the Legion boys around and count his fingers then a little word in his ear

Anyone who's played or coached local football will know that when you're a Coventry team playing away against a Nuneaton team then you will always get a 'Nuneaton ref'.

Does it matter who the ref is? They're all shit anyway. There will be a red card for one player having the audacity to breathe on the pitch, and a quick talking to for another player shanking the opposition with a broken bottle. Just got to hope you're on the right side.
