Neil was gobbing off, should have known better.
He's an Australian! An Australian who hates people swearing? Perhaps he's got asylum over here because of it.

As did Gillet who didnt seem to know how a throw in should be taken or that a goalkick should actually be taken from the playing surface.

Didn’t know the handball rule either.
Then go out and show them all how it should be done. I'm sure youd be that good youd be applauded off the pitch by both sets of fans

Blokes a professional ref and very well paid for his job, now i agree its a difficult job especially with the way cheating is nowadays, however these were very basic decisions he either got wrong or simply chose not to enforce, even MOTD mentioned the throw ins, one of which almost resulted in a goal.
We all know it is a difficult job and players and management teams don’t help.
However he missed two blatant handballs and continually let players of both sides, take throw ins yards further up the touchline. These are basic and easy to see.

The pissy pants brigade won't like this.
I don't agree.
He told Muckiele to go back after he took literally a step forward while allowing Man City to advance 10-15 yards on multiple occasions.

He also stopped us from taking a quick throw due to another ball being slightly on the pitch, but chose to ignore the exact same thing for City and let them build up an attack whilst another of their players cleared the extra ball from the pitch.
Haaland was in his ear constantly, at one point he became the furthest player back for City such was his whinging. But yell at him from over 20 yards away and its a straight red card.

Refs need to be randomly assigned imho. It’s not fair us getting Atwell as often as we do, for example. This will be the 3rd time this season I think? And all away from home.

How do they assign them?

I’m not 100% sure. Must be a panel of people deciding?
I know that refs can apply to be in a certain areas if they give enough notice, for example, so it isn’t randomly allocated.
