Sir Geoff Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hopefully gives us lots of decisions once we start chanting his name. Ingerland, Ingerland, Ingerland. Just after God Save the King. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 As long as we don't get Dai Wales for the return game, I don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 The overall standard of referees is terrible, this appointment doesn’t change that either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 So they are upset that a Ref, that doesn't give offsides normally, is Reffing the game because.... He was involved in a really bad decision, that he didn't give, and a really bad mistake by VAR, which he wasn't a member of . OK , I think I've got it now. Unless they are offended by his name, in which case I am offended they are offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
