Out and out Man united lover and seems to play to the crowd so hardly a good omen. Probably odds on to give Brum a penalty at the first opportunity and we will be lucky to finish the game with eleven men.
Thanks a million for cheering me up Crusader. 🙁

Of course thats the first law you learn on day 1 of referees school.
1.Favour big teams
Typical stereotyped moronic fans sledging the ref before the game so that if we do lose, hey we can always blame the ref as he favours big teams.

Sorry can not take your post seriously with that avator. On a serious note, cant really recall him doing a north end game, but its a proven fact all refs favour man utd 😛
Ah I forgot that people do not understand sarcasm on this forum 😕 I will go back to sleep.

This from the voice of authority (Sunday league referee) Riley has earned his reputation (At one point averaging awarding United a penalty on every visit to Old Trafford)
Too many referees think they are the stars of the show.
What is it with park players and now officials where they become an authority turning out at the local rec?

Great.
Always remember this joker being the linesman in the Torquay play off game when they got away with that blatent handball right in front of him for their goal. Not liked him since.

Riley has only reffed three games in the championsjip this season and dished out seven yellows and one red,
But on refs dont favour big clubs..... then explain the tosser that refereed the play off game at deepdale last season after Blackwell mouthin off in the national papers about having a strong ref for the second leg clash....
Most Ref's obviously try to be even handed in games, but how many bad ref's do we seem to get and why a prem ref for this game...?
Just a thought..........🙄
The Coventry player knew full well he was attempting to cheat a law of fact (as opposed to opinion which is the case with many fouls and hand balls) in football, having got away with it not 5 mins earlier. A crowd should not have to remind the ref to do his job properly. It was sloppy refereeing and we were right to point it out.
Then again, some laws are ignored by all referees. When was the last time anyone saw a kick-off taken with all 11 members of the team kicking off behind the centre line? Invariably, the player receiving the first pass is 18" into his opponents half, and very oftern, the kick-off does not roll at least 1 ball diameter before being played by the pass recipient. It's sloppy refereeing, but FIFA and the FA do nothing about it. People may argue this is such a trivial point as to not bother mentioning, but if players know that they can break one rule without penalty, why not all of them?

Two games that were refereed by Mike Riley
1) West Ham United v Preston North End - Millenium Stadium Cardiff 2005
Riley consistently favoured West Ham, the most notable incident being the failiure to send off their keeper for deliberately handling the ball outside of his goal area, and in so doing denying us the opportunity to score. West Ham had even got their substitution planned to bring on their replacement keeper for an outfield player ffs.
I know that we did not perform well in that game but IMO neither did West Ham and Riley was the worst referee I had seen since... well the semi final second leg at Derby 😡
2) Huddersfield v Preston North End - The Gregan Murdock Fight
Not sure he did very much in that one as it was a turgid affair, someone with a better memory may be able to tell me?
This is bad news for PNE, and I am not taking it as a ready made excuse, but fully expect to have something to complain about come 1655 on Saturday 🙁

Fine, just clarification really. It's why I believe massed chants of "You're Not Fit To Referee" do the agreaved team no favours. If I was a ref and heard that after making what I believed to be an honest decision, I'd find it had not be influenced into thinking, 'well stuff them, then,' for the remainder of the game. On the other hand, the old song, "Where's your father ..." has an element of humour to it, so I wouldn't be so offended. 😱

Think you might find this law was changed a few seasons ago and it doesn't have to roll 1 diameter anymore. 🙂
But I get your point....
Because its the biggest game of the season outside the prem so far. The 21st & 22nd best teams in the country battling it out to be the best team outside the prem"

Unless you did not know empty brain that a good majority of 'Football League Refs' have and continue to turn out on a Sunday morning.
Sunday League Referees Range from Level 1 - 7 so be careful who you label as 'Sunday League'
For e.g.
Eddie Wolstenholme
Jimmy Parker
Phil Prosser
Neil Swarbrick
Darren Drysdale
Graham Salisbury
