Never to the dark side Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Jeremy Simpson from Lancashire will be in charge of the game against Preston on Saturday. reffed 31 games with 123 yellows and five reds At least he won't have the need to stay overnight in the preston aerial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I think they declare which team they support/favour before they join ref iist. Probably a gash fan. Only way they will be in the Champioship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way they will be in the Champioship. Thanks for the heads up. If I ever become a referee, I shall tell them that I support Darlington, or someone obscure, in the hope that I’ll get to Referee some City & Rovers matches. Just hope they don’t notice the tattoos..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 There's quite a few football teams in Lancashire, therefore he's more likely to support a rival team than Preston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Didn’t this happen earlier in the season versus another Lancashire club ? I seem to remember the same comments , didn’t harm us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Does he support Preston? If not no big deal, anthony Taylor lives in Manchester and has done the Manchester Derby because he supports Altrincham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted March 1, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Am I missing something, what is the problem with the ref being from the same county? He may be a Derby fan before we all know which would be more of a concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as an Alrrincham fan (I’d never even heard of the place, let alone the team, before they played Rovers!) he must favour one of United or City, living in Manchester..?! Why not just appoint someone who’s from one of the southern counties, just to avoid the potential controversy..?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see why to a certain extent. I guess most football fans in Scotland have a preference/dislike for one of the two big clubs so finding a truly neutral ref for their games could be a nightmare. The same four or five would have to do all their games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Location means nothing. If you saw that Kevin Friend is based in Leicestershire, you'd never guess that he's a Bristol City fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
