[Westran]

Expect some interesting refereeing on Saturday, deadmans been selected to take charge against Shrewsbury.

 

[Stretch]

Oh ffs!! Not that useless prick again!

 

[BushBlade]

Not dead enough.

[wizadry]

Let's hope he can't remember that bloke on the motorway giving him grief on his way home from Scunny.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Referee as Jim Jarmusch film

 

[s4-blade]

For fuck sake. How many referees in England and we end up with this tosser TWICE before Christmas.

 

[wizadry]

It's not like he's biased against us or a certain team, he's just an atrocious fucking joke of a referee.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Ignore those comments Mr Deadman.
They don't know what they are talking about, a few of them thought Leon Clarke was crap.
I think your a top ref and have been really unlucky not to have been on the Premiership referees list.

 

[WhiteHawk]

Oh no?! He's fucking wank!

But will he be able to ignore the 90 solid minutes of "You're not fit to referee" from the Kop?

 

[BerksBlade]

I hope he's organised a taxi (engine running) outside the ground just in case he "has to" send one of our players off!

 

[Bladesman]

One of our players will sneeze then Deadman will give them a penalty for it. We will equalise but only for it to be given as offside and then Freeman will get sent off celebrating with the fans.

All in a days work for Darren Deadman.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

erhhh marvellous....

 

[Blackheath Blade]

He'll turn up at Shrewsbury knowing that hopeless twat.

 

[davidblade]

i was going to say something that we are all thinking, but I don't want to jinx us.

 

[anglian blade]

He's refereed us more times than any other club

Third time if you include the home friendly against Derby where he gave them a penalty for a ridiculous handball decision where it was almost point blank and impossible to get out of the way

That's the one that really showed me what an absolute arsehole this bloke is. A pre season friendly ,lower league against bigger ,a nothing decision which was hardly appealed for that changed the whole context of the game ,he just made the whole thing about him. Apart from that he ever left the middle of the pitch , certainly didn't break sweat ,just stood around admiring himself for 90 minutes. Everyone came away from a pre season game talking about the referee ,how he would want it I suppose. Every other game ive seen himself in since with Utd or not compounds that view that he just an awful referee.

 

[2ndtenorblade]

We should be good enough to rise above any poor referee.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

He did give us a pen,as a positive.

Except this cunt. We've won 3 out of 13 with him in charge.

Nowt to do with us playing shite I'm sure!!

Wonder who was manager for each of those 13 games.

So, considering Blackwell / Wilson / Clough's win ratios, it still looks to me as though we've lost a disproportionate number of games with Deadman in charge! I was taking the piss before, but maybe there's something in it...

 

[Roygbiv]

I'm genuinely more worried about Deadman making one of his trademark mental decisions then I am of any Shrewsbury player. That's not a slight on Shrewsbury, it's a testament to how Deadman can single handedly change a game out of nothing
