THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Good news (hopefully) we've got a ref who spends most of his time in PL and Champ for todays game. Although Kevin Friend was described a year ago as giving the worst referee performance in PL history, surely being a pro should mean the constant fouling of chuks will be picked up on and we shouldn't see anything like the ineptitude shown on Thursday.

Kevin Friend is a massive, massive ladybit.

That'll be why I recognized his name, unlike chucky breakspear and Busby I assumed it was because I'd seen him on t'box. Oh well there goes that thread of hope.

Kevin Friend has a decent game today. Let lots go and actually gave us some free kicks
Makes a big difference from the dross we usually get

Agree - apart from the Agard penalty.

And the handball.....

That certainly looked pretty plumb from the FC

There was also some nifty Judo on (I think) Callum Brittain right in front of the Linesman before that, quite amazed that the he gave so little during the second half
