In principle it is a good idea to bring in top refs from other countries, but this guy is really poor. We have enough of our own inept officials without inviting others to move here.

Awful ref, but that should probably go without saying. They're all shite and VAR just makes them seem more inept than they already are.

Sorry for the double post but just a note CT:

"On VAR duty is Rob Jones, referee for our first away league this season at Nottingham Forest".

Think you missed the word "point" after "away".

Could also be "game" or "match" after "league".

Ohhhh, which one will it be...

This has got refereeing disaster written all over it, Rob Jones was the ref at that Leeds game when he gave a penalty against Pope and a foul against Mee, I think ??

Being a Ref is a hazardous life.
He won't get away with that sort of game management in 'Big' City games.

Had not realised it was first time for an Aussie virgin.

Hopeless. Hope he learns quickly or he will be shipped out via Botany Bay.

Do referees get tested for rui after the game ? If not they should
