Re: ARTICLE: Smith to referee both Brentford and Burnley for first time

If they can’t assign new refs in a fair way then how on earth can we expect decisions to be done fairly. That is the main problem in a nutshell. Every premier league game should have the same chance of being refereed by a less experienced ref. Random numbers out of a hat.....the only way that's fair.

I'd say that 1 minor incident (nobody injured) per decade is a pretty good record.
And I haven't said it was the other drivers' faults, I'd say about 50-50.
To be fair i did say maybe... I've never had a crash in almost 50 yrs driving, maybe i'm just lucky.
