Zambo, you are the ref.

Bit touchy this morning, Rupe. Aren't we?

Nope i'm fine.... Just laughing at Pet's self-righteous views on away teams kits.

tbf to Ol' Pet, I interpreted his post as questioning/clarifying the referees position on clashing kit, Rupe.

There wasn't a clash. Two to totally different colours. I was pointing out to Ol' Pet, that Everton also change strip when there is no need for it.

[Petingo]

Zambo....what is the ruling on colour clashes?

Arsenal came to Goodison tonight and, as they normally do these days, played in a totally unnecessary change strip.

But their yellow strip was almost identical to the Everton goalkeeper's uniform.

Should the referee not have insisted Arsenal wore a different strip.

Like their traditional red body with white sleeves?

Yeah, because Everton never do that.

Everton wore this strip last season, away to Southampton.



Southampton play in red and white strips with black shorts. So Everton could easily played in their blue kit. Not the totally unnecessary kit above.

Whatchoo talking 'bout, Willis.

Sore loser you, blud

Which is exactly what I was doing, Mr. Hunt.

There was no need for ol' Sore Loser Rupe to start ranting like that.

Oh, it's so unfair......those rotters wouldn't let us win and now they have the cheek to complain about us wearing the same coloured shirt as their goalie

boo fucking hoo......

You think you have got problems, Pet. Spare a thought for those of us who are colour blind

This was what prompted my query, Mr. H.

Yesterday was my first match since I had a bit of surgery on the old mince pies a month ago and the vision is still slightly blurred.

When Arsenal were attacking I couldn't distinguish our goalie from their players

Refs these days don't appear to bother that the keeper wears a similar colour to the opposition outfield players. nor that it clashes with their own top. The law is there for a very good reason, but there are a whole list of basic law that they are not applying and enforcing. It doesn't appear that they are accountable to anyone, and whilst everyone grins and bears it, it will continue.

You have to ask for example, why the PGMOL are against retrospective action for diving.

Cheers, Zam.

Now you were saying about shorts.

Someone told me two teams are not allowed to wear the same colour shorts these days....even if their proper tops are totally different from each other, like Everton v Arsenal.

Is this true?

[Zambo]

There is nothing in the FIFA or FA guidelines or laws on colour clashes of shorts and socks, so it is down to the referee. Before each game, the team captains enter the referees dressing room and they bring with them a shirt, pair of shorts and pair of socks, and the ref decides what article if any needs changing by the away side. Some refs for example will allow black and white stripes v red and white stripes other refs will opt for a change. They should not allow any clashes with their own top, nor should the keepers top clash with the opposition or the ref.

re away kits, I believe some suppliers insist that a team wears an away strip for so many games each season.

Of course not, fair play to Everton, they were by far the better team, on the night.

Correct. it's all about the money.

[Petingo]

I watched the Boro/Liverpool game.....same thing.

Liverpool had to change obviously but the all yellow strip they wore was very similiar to the Boro goalie's uniform.

[Rossco]

The ref in the Palace v Utd game last night was a clown.

He was a consist clown though to be slightly fair. For both sides.

[Reg]

This utter cunt, who has cost as points running into double figures over the past four seasons with his outrageous decisions, is the "fourth official" for our game tomorrow at West Brom, the scene of his worst ever performance in a Palace match, when he managed to cost us two goals through blatantly incorrect decisions and failed to send off a player who elbowed our keeper in the face leaving him unconscious with blood pouring and then put the ball in the net.

I, along with 2,999 other seekers of justice from South London, will be at the Hawthorns tomorrow.

Can we expect this shitbag to defy convention and award two bogus penalties against us from his position in the technical area?

Or are his powers limited by the laws of the game?

(Not that it makes any difference, because he will be using mind control to direct the ref to fuck us over.)

The narcissistic preening cunt.

[Zambo]

Mike Jones is the worst ref I've ever seen in the Prem. I'd be hoping he gets injured in the warm up.
