only 4 games this season??? what has he been on holiday or something....

[Compo's Hat]

Bit brave by the FA to not have someone who's officiated hardly any games this season.

Or is it stupid?

Can't help but think we needed a more experienced ref for this game.

Hope we don't PAY for having a cold ref for this one.

I would of thought you'd of done a better job of avoiding the whoosh than that.

Let us hope it's not a case of "feck off newbie" come Tuesday night.

[Sun Tzu]

There's definitely something fishy about the appointment of those officials.

[handbags_harris]

This game is crying out for an experienced referee. A game as big as this one is not what a referee with 17 games of Football League experience should be taking charge of. The FA need to be shot for appointing him to this game. I only hope this guy's a homer, as most ref's seem to be.

[SHORT AND CURLY]

I suppose the argument would be that both Reading and Wolves are not considered to be dirty physical sides with disciplinary problems, but sides that play football.
I know Rosenior messed up and we have had a few Red Cards (most of which were dubious) but Coppell does appear to install a degree of respect to the officials through his team.
Perhaps that is our undoing sometimes.
I digress.

What I am getting at is, that this is a high profile game and not one that has a history of grief on the pitch and perhaps for an up and coming ref this is a good test for him for what should be a free flowing entertaining game.

I`m sure that my comments will come back and bite me on the backside, but I think you get my drift.

We will have to wait and see

[Sun Tzu]

We've had experienced refs before and seen plenty of poor decisions.

There doesn;t seem to be a correlation between number of games and getting things rights so he'll probably be fine.

"fine" would be an improvement on most of the experienced refs

Erm, must.....must...resist.

What about this for a fine example though?

Bit brave by the FA to not have someone who's officiated hardly any games this season.

Personally I hope the ref has a shocker and awards us 2 penalties, sends of their 'keeper and gives a ghost goal in an 8-0 home victory!
