I do worry that the 'big name' referees tend to be a bit too egotistical.

Tackles may fly in, nerves could be frayed and Home fans may (should) be hostile. I watched Michael Oliver ref the trophy final between North Ferriby and Wrexham on the TV a couple of years ago and he was excellent, kept the cards in his pocket as he understood the standard and level of both sides.

Once of the best refs in the PL in my opinion.

Maybe the FA realise that this game could be massive for the future of either club. And for once have got something right!! The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I remember when we got Prem referee Mark Halsey to ref our 6-1 win over Barnsley in early 2004 - he gave us two pens and sent off a player each. We then got him for the Newcastle match in which he famously didn't see Whittle elbow Shearer (or he did see it and chose not to do anything about it). You normally notice the difference in quality. Teams that scheme (naming no Cheltenhams) usually get hit the hardest and we're not like them in that respect so I think we might feel the benefit. "Don't shine that light in my face, mate - I've just lost a pint of blood."

His last game was Man U's routine 2-0 win v Swansea last Saturday. Don't think there was anything out of the ordinary there (like giving the away team a pen!) JESUS AT THE CENTRE

Last game I went to was Coventry - couple of terrible decisions from the linesman (and he got plenty of verbal as a result) but the ref seemed absolutely spot on.

I'm thinking here of all the times Matt has practically had his shirt removed in the box, but nothing has even been said. They are also suckers for players hitting the deck under the slightest of pressure when outside the box - something which costs us as we don't dive in the same way (Davies aside).
