The ref on Friday

[OlvisIII]

The Luton game two years ago was the worst piece of refereeing I have experienced in 22 years of watching football. Somebody mentions the fact that we got five players booked - we had five players booked within 25 minutes, Mark Rawle twice. There was only one bad tackle in the game and that was the Luton player who catapulted Rawle into the air, landing on his neck. Somehow Rawle was booked for appealing for a free kick. I sound like I am exaggerating but I am really not. I gunuinely believe to this day that there was something corrupt about the officiating that day - interesting that it was he who caused uproar with the Luton/Bradford game. A pattern emerges.

A close call between him and Fletcher, i actually think both are inept.
All we can hope is that it goes our way Friday, but i am sure there will be some controversy.
