I see the clueless Brookes is tge ref for Liverpool's match against Tottenham @no1lino.bsky.social A good first half performance by Madley in the Newcastle V Chelsea match but poor in the second half missing a clear penalty for barging Gordon over and a clear shirtpull DOGSO foul on Harvey Barnes.

Sh*te performance by Darren England at Newcastle tonight @no1lino.bsky.social Reckless tackles from behind unpunished & fouls stopping promising attacks unpunished. How he's a FIFA referee I will never know!

@no1lino.bsky.social I'm pleased to see the idiot who drove his car into Liverpool supporters when they were celebrating Liverpool's title win has been locked up - they should have thrown away the key though!

Here are 3 top former FIFA #referees for you @quinnassociate.com & @refbooks.bsky.social - Joel Quiniou (France) showing a yellow card,Erik Fredricksen (Sweden) showing a red card and Pat Partridge (Cockfield, Co.Durham), all 3 were good enough to have been appointed to referee the World Cup Final.

This is also from 1975-76. I reckon @refbooks.bsky.social might recognise this #referee who was nearing the end of a long career as a Football League referee.

The #referee looks like Brian Martin from Leicestershire to me, though I'm not 100% certain. Hes speaking to a Cardiff player here. @refereeretro.bsky.social & @refbooks.bsky.social The match is Colchester V Cardiff from 1975-76.

@no1lino.bsky.social What is going on at Liverpool? Nobody in their right mind would have thought you'd lose 3-0 at home to Forest. I think they made to many changes in the Summer with all of their new signings and didn't strengthen where you needed to most - the back four. Defensively you are poor.

@refbooks.bsky.social A question for you. You'll know who this #referee is but do you know the other ref from the same era who was born in England but moved to Wales and became a Welsh FIFA ref?
