The referee for tha Carlise match is from bloody Cumbria!!!!!

Referee For Carlisle Game Comes From Cumbria (from The Argus)</title>

 

[severnside gull]

a touch surprising

 

[Yorkie]

Perhaps he'll over compensate in our favour so as not to show bias to the home team? (says she hopefully, knowing there isn't a chance of that)

 

[Skidmarks]

Lets hope he didn't hear about the Gillingham match.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I think its a GOOD thing, so long as everyone makes clear to him that we KNOW where he's from. He'll feel that his every decision is being scrutinised for home bias, and hopefully will end up erring the other way.

:fingerscrossed:

 

[Skidmarks]

No Northern monkey chants then.

 

[The Large One]

Mike Pike.

Surely that's a made-up name.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Someone in Carlisle tells me: "He's from Barrow. They're not Cumbrians."

(Barrow has of course only been in Cumbria since 1974 -- Mike Pike was probably born in what was Lancashire)

That's it then. Lancashire always beat Sussex as we all know. They are the only worthy Champions after all.

Me thinks that Naylor has main beef of his report for Saturday's article

"local ref robbed us"....etc

Yeah cos Naylor is well biased towards the Albion.

Certainly fishy!

But I see the last game he reffed us, 3-3 at Leeds in 2005 was a cracker!

Let's hope for more of the same.

 

[unnameable]

When we played Reading, away, in April 2003, the substitute refereee, who took over from the first referee in the second half, was a bloke from Worthing.

Never said he was going to be biased, just that it looked like a set up for another story....which it has

if he lives in BARROW, then carlisle is not even his third closest league side

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Unless he is a Carlisle fan, coming from the local area means it's likely that he will be biased against Carlisle.

In the same way that a Ref from Sussex who wasn't a Brighton fan is likely to be anti-Brighton

No he wasn't, he was Clive Penton from Woodingdean

 

[unnameable]

No he wasn't, he was Clive Penton from Woodingdean

Which is even closer to Brighton than Worthing.

 

[Jim in the West]

I think Clive Penton reffed the Brizzle Rovers game on Tuesday - apparently he was PANTS
