View Full Version : What about this business of Kevin Friend removed from reffing the Spurs game
because of supposed sympathies for Leicester?
Supposedly "following an outcry on social media". Did anyone see this outcry? Was it Spursers, presumably?

Hell of a slippery slope, that one. I don't mean he's south Asian. He might be, I have no knowledge of the fellow, but even if he is, I wouldn't necessarily apply racial epithets to him. Unless he was reffing us and doing a Mike Dean.
Hold on, I've changed my mind. Mike Dean should never have been allowed to ref that game. (Do I mean Mike Riley?)

They want Leicester City to win it fair and square. What about us :(

One presumes so - they were outraged apparently. Arsene wasn't very happy about it - basically called the PGMOL a bunch of ****s. wd AW
What minute will Palace get their first penalty

No need for the "that game" for either of them though

Good point. How come there aren't any refs who support us.

They all look the same to me. We haven't been reffed by Deano since the Costa moment, though he has been fourth official a couple of times.
Clearly a twitter storm is the way to go when awarded a ref you don't like. A precedent has been set.

Even Clatenberg doesn't like us anymore :-(

I was thinking of the actual, real, once-in-a-lifetime crooked referee experience. At Old Trafford :(

That's because we're rubbish, I suppose. Wenger out.

What about Guitteeur.....Gurtierrre.......the Newcastle bloke winning his legal case for getting dropped after his cancer treatment? Seems an odd one. Surely the club are within their rights to drop him. They just cannot sack him.

He did the Hull home game in the cup didn't he?

Why can't they sack him? Surely he would fail a medical.

No, he was back in full working order after surgery, apart from having a ******* lopped off. So sacking him would have bee a clear case of unfair dismissal.
But how can a club be sued for dropping a player?

Talking of which, it will be 10 years since I had mine off on April 25th.
Weird to think I've been a decade with one. I don't even remember what it was like having two.

Have you noticed much practical difference? Do you have, for example, any inclination to walk in circles?

I think it's made my ***** look bigger. Is that practical?

Ah, I see. Yes, ridiculous. Constructive Dismissal, is it. You can certainly understand them wanting him out, I suppose. We could have tried the same thing with Dennis Bergkamp, had we wanted shot of him.

Oh, I should say so. Congratulations, anyway.
Who would have imagined that 10 years after your event, I'd be facing a heart transplant?

You can have a fondle at mine, if you'd like. If it would help, I mean.

If you could just hold off the massive clutcher until after we've gone on Sunday, I'd be awfully grateful.
Seriously, though, are you sure you're well enough to be hosting people? Should you not get a man in to look at it?

That's awfully kind, r, but you know how people talk. They'd be bound to get the wrong impression.

Lord no, a chap doesn't quit over a minor detail like a massive coronary failure. KBO and all that. KBO!

Yes, quite.

I was stunned by the way Dean dished out some harsh decisions against Spuds when battering Yanited. Has the worm turned?
