Just imagine if we had Bamford upfront instead of Assombalonga where would we be I just like the pace that they play at, their movement is superb and the way they move the ball around (on the floor) is excellent. I wish we’d held on to Bamford. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If the ref, their assistants and the VAR team don't see incidents or can't make correct decisions, I don't think one more body is going to help. Especially given how they seem to see / interpret things differently (too many cooks spoil the broth and all that). The more people you bring in, the more scope for confusion IMO. I think a fundamental re-write of some of the laws, governing fouls, penalties and bookings is in order, along with re-training for refs and officials, so its hammered into them to follow them in a sensible & consistent manner. While we're at it, the rules covering the use of VAR also need re-writing, so that players have to be at least half a yard offside before they're flagged. Fouls & off the ball incidents should only be relayed to the ref if they're serious - i.e. construed as dangerous play (like the Fry incident), a deliberate cynical foul, or violent conduct. If they miss anything else - just let it go. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Snake 45 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I see Dean Whitestone is the Referee for the game against Derby! He isn't though - and intriguingly hasn't refereed a game since the Blackburn fiasco on 24/01 when prior to that he had been doing one every 3-7 days Reckon he's been suspended? Should be retired Link to post Share on other sites

Should be retired I reckon he's been in Refereeing rehab even though he said "No, No, No"! To which he added: "Yes I've been black but when I come back You'll know, know, know" 2 Link to post Share on other sites
