Who cares who the ref is?

Who ever it is,will only follow the well worn script of ignoring most Manure fouls,while giving a free kick evertime when a Saints player goes within four feet of a Utd player.

Manure also have to have at least one penalty per game.

If Saints are winning,theres also the extra time of ten minutes plus,or until Manure can score two goals.

a woman?

 

Give me a break love. Didn't we have one of those a few years back? Louise? You'll find redknapp hanging out the back of it. I'd smash it. I've got something she could tuck in.....

 

Oh, it's a dude.

Hope the ref' shows up this time, (in both forms of the word). He went AWOL for the Blackpool (?) game... and also hope the linesman does'nt live up tp his name.

Criticisms

 

After the 2009 Manchester derby at Old Trafford, Atkinson was criticised by Manchester City's then-manager Mark Hughes for bad time-keeping after Manchester United had scored an injury-time winner. The fourth official had signalled four minutes of additional time, but Michael Owen scored a 96th-minute goal, handing United a dramatic 4-3 win.[11] Atkinson was defended by former referee Graham Poll, himself considered one of England's greatest officials,[12] who pointed out that during injury time itself there had been a goal celebration, a substitution and a delay caused by a fan on the pitch.[13] The incident led to City questioning the late appointment of Atkinson to the 2010 Manchester derby.[14]

 

In September 2009, Atkinson was handed a one-week demotion to the role of fourth official after a time-keeping dispute with Everton manager David Moyes. Everton had scored two injury-time goals to make the score 3-3 against Manchester United, but Atkinson then blew his final whistle while Everton were midway through an attack with a chance of a winner.

I don't think Fergie has decided yet...

 

Agreed...The latest is that Sir Alex has not met the ref at Carrington training ground to formally confirm this for Saturday....:rolleyes:

 

Not forgetting Mr Webb is on standby .....;)

What colour will they be wearing, I don't want to clash.

 

Lol, wouldn't it be great if we all wore the colour of united's shirts so they couldn't see each other like the good old days. Except of course that we'd all look like Manure fans...
