       Robinson and Doughty with key top of the table clashes…
       Linington with a huge tv offering Saturday lunchtime.
       Doughty for us Tuesday night, and another chance for Ward to
       park in his VIP space at CC. 🙄

       Leigh Doughty on Fulham v Preston is bizarre. Leigh is from
       Freckleton which is a suburb of Preston. Now I know the postcode
       debate has been done to death on here, but it normally involves
       Taylor or Kavanagh and the Manchester teams. Manchester is a
       massive city with lots of football clubs in and around it.
       Preston is a one club city. Without doubt lots of Leigh’s
       family, friends, neighbours, acquaintances in his local pub/cafe
       will be Preston fans. I’m not in any way casting aspersions
       about Leigh’s integrity, but for me, the league are placing
       untold extra pressure on his shoulders here. There’s enough SG2
       refs to not place him in such a position. Personally I think
       it’s madness.
       Again, apologies for the same old boring debate, but this one
       just seems to be a step too far. I haven’t gone to the bother of
       checking whether Leigh has reffed Preston before, perhaps he
       has.
       But I just truly believe refs are under enough scrutiny and
       pressure these days without the appointment chiefs adding to it.

       So Robinson’s reward for a diabolical performance at Swansea at
       the weekend is a top of the table clash live on Sky! Absolutely
       no accountability whatsoever.

       Can’t think why you are upset. You keeper could have been sent
       off and the last incident there was a foul on Cabango before the
       tussle and that doesn’t include a possible Davis handball. A tad
       blinkered I feel.

       Sometimes I feel like the way to be rewarded with big matches
       its to have a terrible performance
       There is no accountability whatsoever and its ridiculous. We
       have seen it in Italy and Russia where referees have been
       suspended. Why not in the UK?

       It’s a stretch of the imagination to describe Freckleton as a
       suburb of Preston

       Disagree, Doowe. Freckleton to Preston city centre is a 15
       minute drive. I’m pretty sure if Leigh was away on holiday
       making small talk with a stranger and they asked where he was
       from, he wouldn’t say Freckleton, he’d say Preston. There’s
       absolutely no doubt the majority of Leigh’s acquaintances in his
       area would be Preston fans. It’s just totally unnecessary
       scheduling, and IMHO vastly unfair on Leigh.
       Refs are just humans, we all think similar, if a Preston game
       was 0-0 going into injury time and there was a collision in the
       opposition penalty area that could go either way, I find it hard
       to believe that in the back of Leigh’s mind he wouldn’t
       subconsciously wonder whether he’d be opening himself up to
       accusations of bias should he award them a dubious pen.
       Genuinely believe it’s very unfair on Leigh, also arguably
       unfair on Preston.
       I’m aware not all will agree, but the human mind is a strange
       beast and I stand by my belief that it’s unnecessary stress and
       pressure to place on a ref
