They'll ensure Liverpool get the 3 points, one way or another.

I don’t think he hates anyone. I think he’s just turned into an awful referee.

It is always good when you play one of the "big clubs" and you get a ref who doesn't have a history of siding with them and getting big decisions wrong.....
Said nobody ever about Oliver

Anyone running a sweep at what time he'll send a Burnley player off?

I know that it's not a very high bar, but Oliver has refereed 25 of our games and stands third overall in the rate the ref table with a score of over 73%, so I don't think that he can be as bad as some are suggesting in here. Anyone can get good scores for the odd game but he must have been generally good over so many games.
I have to admit, though, that for some reason it always worries me when he has the whistle.

Will we get near enough to them to kick them?.

Only when it’s a big game for us.
It’s a free hit. You never know they might make a ridiculous decision in our favour, very unlikely I know, but well within the realms of possibility with that lot.

Liverpool fans aren’t exactly thrilled with it either.
His last game for them was the controversial last derby game at Goodison.
They still have a disdain for him following the Van Dijk incident with Pickford a few years ago.

I think it’s absurd to say that any referee hates any team.

It doesn't seem to matter who the referee is these days.
It's who's in the van on the Stockley Park car park

VAR are still reviewing his 73% rating!

Funny that, Liverpool supporters say the same about him.
Not sure how he's going to manage to do it to both teams on Sunday.

NO he isn't, in fact far from it, as you would discover if you lived in the community both inside and outside of football.

LIke when they played Everton earlier this year and drew with Slot and his assistant Hulshoff, both being sent off at the end of the game along with Doucoure and Jones. Top team did not win and the ref got pilloried because he had played added time as designated and Tarks scored the equaliser.

You have to remember that Everton are also one of the founding members teams. Last derby at Goodison etc.

I'll bet that you couldn't jump over it if you were an official and you wouldn't even need to bend your knees to limbo under it.
Easiest job in the world from a seat in the stand or an armchair at home.

I agree with what you have said here Ashington he is far from Arrogant and actually a very nice bloke. Who in my opinion is probably the best we have in this country.
