       Why do you and TheThingFromLewes constantly always post the same
       pointless things virtually every week when appointments are
       released when it comes to Bournemouth and how many times East,
       Friend, Hooper are down there, pointless statistics about Friend
       particularly and how he’s so disliked because he probably made 1
       throw in decision wrong in all the games he’s ever refereed
       there, same old boring thing about that car park space for
       East... I could go on!
       It’s nothing personal but no one cares, maybe just keep saying
       the same things to each other in a private conversation? Just a
       suggestion.

       You've obviously never seen Friend at AFCB then. Wish a wrong
       throw in was the only thing he does ever get wrong. I see him
       referee elsewhere & see the decent safe pair of hands that he is
       but ever since he collapsed in the tech area at Dean Court he
       has been dreadful in every game. Not just for AFCB but for both
       teams, his decision making is dreadful & is a complete contrast
       to when you see him anywhere else.  There is a significant
       difference in his game to the point where you could actually
       think there are 2 referees called Kevin Friend, the contrast is
       so huge. Personally I think it is psychological, as I have said
       before. The ground holds a bad memory for him and he seems to
       fall apart on every visit. I'm sure it is in his mind,
       consciously or not, that he has a fear of being taken so ill so
       suddenly again and it affects his performances very negatively.
       He's hated because we never see a good game from him, not
       because of a singular decision, you know the decisions will be
       random, the performance inconsistent and error strewn etc. He
       was never that way before he collapsed and was fairly well liked
       or at least not disliked. I would love for him to get over
       whatever it is that causes such a huge change in him, his whole
       demeanour, his inconsistency and get back to being the ref he
       once was at our ground, he still has it in him as he shows
       everywhere else!
       Hooper is well liked, he's almost a local & we see the best of
       him, Dean Court is a ground he relaxes at and referees well. We
       like getting him there. The Roger East car park space has been a
       long standing joke for many years, you've just not been around
       long enough to appreciate it! Useless stat, in your opinion or
       not, it's not good when any referee sees a team more during a
       season than season ticket holders do!

       Nick Hopton is actually assistant at Burnley according to
       Premier League website - otherwise Hussin would have two games

       Then you should be aware of such jokes in the first place if you
       read the forums on a regular basis.
       I’ve always found the admin staff fair and reasonable, and if
       any issues have been reported then, as you suggested, they have
       been done via PM.
       The admin team also have to keep an eye on things incase anyone
       steps over the line for legal reasons. That’s a hell of a task.
