mattjtsmith Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36075347 Interesting read this. Most referees have very limited opportunities to referee their own teams (except Anthony Taylor apparently). Turns out that Kevin Friend is a City and Leicester man, but isn't allowed to referee them (as vs West Ham)....sure he couldn't of done much worse than the one that did ref in the end! Can't some statty find out which 7 these were?? Be interesting to see our record with! Kevin Friend, Bristol, lives in Leicestershire Bristol City and Leicester Leicester games 0; Bristol City games 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 He certainly doesn't seem to favour us as a ref.... 2 wins, one draw and four defeats (including 0-3 against Cardiff!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Does highlight how stupid it is though, can't referee Leicester as he lives there and watches the occasional game out of interest, but is allowed to referee the team he actually supports.

Up The City! Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Kevin friend is a name that really stands out for me, despite him being a 'fan' he is one of those refs who I always feel we are in for a tough ride if he's officiating us. Maybe he is simply extra harsh on us because he is trying to hard to remain impartial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
