Certainly my optimism is likely to disappear after Exeter get
the ball, yeah!

Should be retired from refereeing then as too old if he brought
in Spanish flu.."

Exeter supporter in peace.
Pearce is, of course, from Exeter, but I don't think that this
fact influences him when reffing us, unless to make him more
strict on us. I agree with all the above about Carley though I
do think that he has improved recently so far as his decisions
are concerned; but he is deeply unsympathetic.
I'm afraid I don't rate Dickson at all and think it very wrong
of the RFU to appoint him to such a significant game when it
involves ex-teammates.
IMO all games should be officiated by clearly neutral officials
so Hull wouldn't have been allowed to be the citing officer at
our game v Sale as Bristol could have benefitted from his
decisions if you guys hadn't stuffed them in the most joyous
manner. Frankly, after last Saturday I wouldn't mind losing to
you after what you did to Bristol ;D ;D It was almost
certainly the best game of rugby I have seen or participated in
in 55 years of playing and watching.

Not fussed about Pearce being from Exeter and reffing Exeter.
I'm from Exeter and I want you to lose! :) Wayne Barnes is a
local boy for Quins and doesn't exactly favour us - I don't
think the local connection matters so much. Fairly recent
ex-players yes, and sadly I think Karl's been overpromoted a bit
as this hasn't been his finest season.

Mmm... they don't like giving it back much.

I’d prefer Carly Simon to Matthew Carley as the ref.
Just hoping we aren’t robbed by another Steve Lander- type
moment.

Karl also seems to get a lot of snide remarks, as actual or
implied criticism of his decisions, from the BT commentators:
Kay, Dallaglio, Healey, etc. Always wondered why that might be.
Maybe they think he's been over-promoted (just in terms of speed
of promotion).

That was totally and unbelievably awful. As close as one ought
ever to get to saying we were "cheated" out of winning that day.
