He is busy rewriting the Rule Book.

Finally the big stage for the ultimate 'Look at me' referee.

cunts cunt

There should be two refs used for a game. One for each half of the pitch - a goody and a baddy - a Rennie and a Riley. 

My lad is a ref and just got his level 4 ...one more promotion and he could be lining in the football league

If he refs the final like the Chelsea v Spurs game, UEFA will get rid of him. They'd want to see 4 reds for tackling like in that match

I bet he's already booked his spray tan and new hair weaves in readiness for the big event

He is a not in my top three most hated.

Poll, Riley and Knight, sounds like a dodgy firm of solicitors. PRiK for short.

Good call

Some time in the 1930s there were two trial matches held post season with two referees.

In each match over 10 goals were scored.

He's basically Superman.

He's our Superman.

Not as daft as it sounds.I reckon there should deffo be 4 linesmen.

There were a lot of goals scored in that era Malc after the offside law was changed.

 

And quite frankly I am shocked that you come on here with a theory based on a sample size of 2. Are your oil levels running low or something?

Hm.

The change to the offside rule was in 1925. There was a noticeable increase in goals after the change to 2 defenders, but by 1937-38 no team in the top tier averaged 2 goals per game. ManCity were the top scorers with 80 from 42 matches, and they were relegated. ManU scored 82 in gaining promotion. Bolton were 7th in the top tier, behind Arsenal, Wolves, PNE, Charlton, 'Boro and Brentford.

Having organised another dig into the internet data, I suspect the main reason for the 10-2 scoreline was probably the fact that the match was a Football League XI v a combined Welsh and Irish Leagues XI.

Looks like the reboot was successful, good work.

Is offside still relevant?

 

Is it time to try again without it?

It'd mean Jermaine Defoe could play till he was 50. 

Stand around in the area and slot em in  without moving over 10yds at a time
