Let's just go there, put in a bloody good performance, get a good result, hopefully a win and not have to worry about the officials

I noticed a young lad wearing a Bournemouth shirt in Hove Park the other day

I have a mate from Rotherham, which isn't far away from Sheffield, and he hates Wednesday with a passion

I have a mate from Sheffield and he hates Wednesda with a passion!

But I do think, other than fourth officials, it would be sensible to avoid these sort of appointments.

Doesn't mean anything mate. He may hate Sheffield.

Some People from Crawley hate Brighton

Totally agree. The one counter argument though is that by appointing an official from close by, afterwards they're more likely to get a lot of grief about a contentious decision from others in that area which just might subconsciously influence them. Not saying that's necessarily true. Just saying.

Tim Robinson from Bognor has been on the officials team for Brighton home games before..

I'm actually more surprised that some officials support football clubs, seeing as they know sod all about football!

Do refs that live in London never ref London matches then?
