Rob JONES Leicester City v Manchester City
DIR By: Wollongong Ref

Can someone please enlighten me if possible, why Rob Jones and
Team wore the light blue shirt when Leicester were at home and
wearing Blue? Yes a different shade but surely there were better
options for the referee to wear.

I thought the same, very strange choice of attire!
Weird game for Jones, who I am a big fan of. Didn’t really have
a whole lot to do in the game, but seemed to over manage, which
could have back fired.
Clear missed cautions for De Bruyne (possibly twice), Tielemans
and Cancelo. You could argue that Rodri and Grealish deserved
yellows too for sprinting half way across the pitch to
remonstrate about not getting their own way - but we’ve come to
expect them to get away with this. As usual, nothing done about
Pep walking on the pitch whenever he liked.
Can’t say Jones had a bad game, but must be careful when trying
to manage too much.

Perhaps it was because their preferred choice of colour would
have clashed with Man City tops? The colour that darest not
speak its name.

Was wondering when the “Bobby” fan club would jump into action.

I watched Jones at Southampton last week and at Leicester
yesterday and found him to be unintrusive and sensible and also
consistent.

Orange would have been the better choice.

I harp on about the colours every season - it’s beyond me why
the PL (whoever officially decides) finds it so difficult to get
such a simple thing right. Surely they just have a sample photo
of all the kits (players & GKs) and produce a match sheet with
the ref colour on ( like UEFA/FIFA)?
Firstly, it would help if, in England, we had the 5 colours
available when new kits are brought out, as in other countries.
Officials wear same colour as a GK (particularly black) week in
week out, even though there is at least one other option
available. No idea why?
In this game, the orange clashed with a GK, but black would’ve
been fine (City’s kit was mostly yellow). The light blue/green
was alright but did look a bit odd.

I absolutely agree. It is such an obvious thing, most of the
time, to ensure that the match officials are in a totally
different colour to both sets of outfield players and
goalkeepers that it makes me wonder whether or not these colour
clashes ( particularly with goalkeepers ) are not somehow
contrived though for the life of me I cannot understand why this
should be.
In the Football League it was up to the referee to determine
what colour shirt he wore, it was not decided beforehand. I
often used to accompany a friend to his matches and the very
first thing he would do on arrival at a ground was to dump his
kit in the match officials' changing room and then visit the
changing rooms of the two teams ( which often also provided an
opportunity for a bit of banter with the kit man ) look at the
colours and then decide what the officiating team would wear.
The default was always black unless either outfield players or
goalkeepers were wearing black or a very dark solid colour. In
those days there were four colours available and only once do I
recall that all four colours were being worn by the teams so the
choice was made to go with a colour which resembled one of the
goalkeepers.
