Andre Marriner in charge at The Lane this weekend.

[highpeakblade]

Seems we have got one of the so called top referees in the country this weekend as F.A Cup final, Premier & Europa league referee Andre Marriner is in charge of proceedings at Beautiful Down Town Bramall Lane for't cup match against Fulham.

I think it was him throwing cards around in the first leg of the cup match between Sunderland and Man United if my memory serves me right? Anyway don't know shed loads about him these days other than he likes to lob his cards around and has already sent a good few off this year (is this why he is an F.A favourite?) so no naughty challenges please United.

It will be ' the Sheffield defender impeded Dimitar and the Sheffield attacker was outmuscled by Breda' blah creep blah.

Getting the excuses in early?

If we lose on Sunday I'm betting it will have sod all to do with the ref.

Talk about stating the obvious.......We all know it won't be the ref's fault, it's guaranteed to be Chris Porter, Michael Doyle, Tony McMahon or George Long's fault as all the other times!

We all need a scapegoat!

No, we just need better players

Saw Marriner presenting some referee awards last year. Think it's fair to say that if he was an ice cream, he'd lick himself. Lovely tan though, obviously very good weather in the West Midlands.

The big Sheffield CB 'showed intention' to foul poor Duff.
