       Bruce did have previous with this referee because he was
       refereeing the Carabao Cup game between Newcastle and  Leicester
       earlier in the season which I attended. It was the game in which
       Choudray for Leicester received a caution  for a very bad tackle
       on Ritchie, who has not played since that game in August. Bruce
       was not alone in thinking that it should have been a red and
       this probably came into his thinking when he did not get the
       decision for the Burnley goal.
       As far as the comments made by Sean Dyche are concerned, he just
       said that Carroll could easily have been dismissed for his
       challenge the way the game is today --he is correct. His main
       point related to why a 'rookie' referee should be given a
       Burnley v Newcastle fixture because if they are good enough to
       referee in the PL they could be given a match involving one of
       the big clubs. I have to agree with that concept, in fact, a
       game involving the big clubs would probably be less physical
       than the game yesterday ----que sera sera.
       [/quote]
       I don't really give Dyche's comments any credence.
       Every PL referee has to start somewhere and it seems more a case
       of 'We don't want to be the first' but two clubs always ahve to
       be.
       Starting with 12th V 11th (currently) seems a reasonable place
       to start. I'm not sure it would do anyone any good to throw
       Robinson straight into Arsenal V Man City today for instance.

       One of the reasons why, after 68 years of watching Burnley, I
       shall not be renewing my season ticket next season.
       Our style of football is not to the taste of most fans,
       including a lot of our own, however, we play to our strengths
       and very rarely go diving around to try to influence officials.
       Sadly, this is not the case with many clubs, therefore,  the job
       of the offiicials is being made increasingly more difficult with
       the misguided belief that, in the PL. VAR will sort things out.
       Gamesmanship is a great word, bmb, because it covers so much!
       :D

       It is no big deal refereeing one of  the big clubs for your

       something wrong and the fans of the big clubs are much more

       Some might argue that Arsenal V Man City is a match involving
       only one of the big clubs currently!  ;)
       If, for argument's sake, Robinson had been appointed to 2nd
       place Leicester V Norwich yesterday then it would have deprived
       Andy Madley, a new FIFA referee, from that opportunity. I'm not
       convinced htat would have been a good thing.
       It does illustrate the balance the PGMO have to strike. A lot of
       people on RTR want to see SG2 referees given some games at PL
       level but there seems to be resistance from clubs to
       Championship referees doing PL games. You have to wonder what
       the benefits are compared to the pressures for the referee in
       question and how much the PGMO can deduce from one or two trial
       PL games compared to a case like Peter Bankes where he was just
       promoted based on FL performances and received his first PL game
       when already a full-time PL referee.

       Acme --as a Burnley fan for the last 68 years, I am so pleased
       to hear that you have never had a problem and I agree that the
       hospitality at the Cricket Club is good for the away fans.
       However, believe me, our fans can be every bit as hostile
       towards officials as others can. One of the Burnley fans'
       message boards has a Rate the Ref scoreboard every week marking
       each of  4 various aspects out of 25 --the marks being given to
       Tim Robinson since yesterday are derisory!
       As an ex-official myself, albeit at a much lower level, I always
       go to a match to watch three teams and the assessment I gave
       earlier was my honest, unbiased view because I thought that he
       and his team did quite well in difficult circumstances.
       May your visits to the Turf remain enjoyable ---but not as
       enjoyable as the last two seasons!!

       I remember Steve Tanner getting two live Premier League games in
       the first two weeks after his promotion to SG - obviously it
       didn't work out for him in the end and I'm not sure he even got
       another two live games in the rest of the time he was a Premier
       League referee!
