There are only 10 Premier League games each weekend, therefore only 10 referees are needed.
The remaining Select Group referees will be shared out between fourth official duties and Football League games. Some won't have a game if they have had to travel back from Europa League action on Thursday night.
Obviously Accrington v Dale is seen as something of a powder keg match because of it being a derby, both teams in the top ten and the Coleman connection.
That story is just someone mischief-making. In the past it was very uncommon to see a referee twice a season, so nothing should be read into the fact that Dean and Clattenburg haven't been back to Old Trafford in the past year.
Indeed, Dean refereed United's match at Southampton the other week and their match at Arsenal in January, both of which have been since the Blackburn game.
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

Good point, TVOS, I think he's doing Barca/Real on Sunday, too.

Of course he's demoted. It's his first fourth tier game in about four or five years. Fergie plays it to get the refs he wants who favour united. Have a look who's reffing there game this weekend.after his rant.he'll play until they score if there getting beat and i wouldn't bet against them being handed a pen for fook all. I cant see it being his only united game this season.

You can put whatever 'spin' on this issue as you like, but the decision stinks.
Ferguson will have been whingeing and whining as he was in the Press at weekend and on the TV and it is no coincidence that Chris Foy finds himself plummeting down the league system to officiate at Accrington as a result of the 'missing minutes' at Old Trafford. When did he last officiate at that level. ?
The sooner Ferguson is put out to grass, the better football will be. It's never his teams' fault, its never his players fault, it's always inept referees or incompetent officials that cause his sides to lose.
The only time he ever seems capable of accepting his side were 'under par' is when they have managed to scrape a victory which was undeserved.
Other than that the usual siege mentality applies. He's the worst loser on the planet. Unfortunately, it's not often enough.

Totally agree with you about Ferguson, but I stand by everything else I've said.
We might not seriously think Accrington v Dale is a 'powder keg' match (which was perhaps a deliberate exaggeration on my part), but those making the appointment will look at all the factors I mentioned and decide the game needs a more experienced official.
In the same way, our JPT game v bury on Tuesday is being refereed by Bobby Madley, who did Forest v Derby on Sunday. Whatever the rights and wrongs of his performance in that match, the Football League have decided, as low key as the JPT is, they are giving it to an official who must have recieved good marks this season.

did you do an elton and adopt your child you take to the match? I thought you were gay yesterday? Or is it a Micheal Barrymore situation?
I think we'll have a few games off this season. There's a small section of our pitch that doesn't drain very well and is mostly frozen in winter. Doesn't get any light. The majority of pitch is fine but if you can't take a corner you can't really play the game. We had a game against somebody the other week when part of the pitch had to have a fair amount of sand put down. Not good.

Ferguson will always look to avoid criticising his team, that's his management style. Hill was similar.
Didn't Phil Dowd do Bury-Dale three years ago then Utd-City the week after? 'Top' refs have often been seen at our level.

Seaking of corruption, this is the own goal that a defender in Italy recently admitted he scored on purpose to assist Lecce in avoiding relegation.
What worries me is how if I saw this in a game, it wouldn't even cross my mind that it might be deliberate. Scary thought. Apparently this sort of thing was rife in the 80s, particularly when spot-betting began to pay out on the first throw-in. Remember all those kick-offs that were hoofed to a sprinting winger, yet always seemed to go out of play? Admittedly most of the time it would have been because Dale were sh*t at passing throughout the 80s, but still!
