@no1lino.bsky.social What an inept 4th Official & VAR at Newcastle today - Rob Jones & John Brookes! Jared Gillett isn't the best ref around but I feel sorry for him having those 2 muppets on the game with him! @quinnassociate.com

Well done to #referee Farrai Hallam on sticking with his decision not to award a penalty to Man C when a Wolves player accidentally handled with arms in a natural position and ignoring VAR, the incompetent Darren England, advice. @no1lino.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com @refbooks.bsky.social

The joys of being a Newcastle supporter - the last two matches scored 7 conceded 6 - winning both games, one of them 7-6 in a penalty shoot-out! @no1lino.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com I wouldn't have it any other way, I love being a Newcastle supporter!

I see David Moyse is having a go at the referee for correctly sending-off two of his players - 1 for a clear act of Violent Conduct and the other for a clear act of Dissent when on a yellow card! @no1lino.bsky.social Did you find Moyse to be a pain in the a*se when you were a PL Assistant?

1975-76 season - QPR V Leeds United. A Welsh FIFA #referee for @refbooks.bsky.social and @quinnassociate.com to identify. He also refereed Newcastle's 2-0 Fairs Cup Semi-Final win against Rangers in 1969, a match marred by Rangers supporters invading the pitch in an attempt to force an abandonment.

Sh*te performance by Darren England at Newcastle tonight @no1lino.bsky.social Reckless tackles from behind unpunished & fouls stopping promising attacks unpunished. How he's a FIFA referee I will never know!
