www.facebook.com/share/r/17TR... @no1lino.bsky.social I love Jeff's way with words! He was another excellent ref in his day.

@quinnassociate.com You've got another crap ref for the League Cup Semi-Finals 2nd leg - Peter Bankes! In our S-F we have Tony Harrington.

Asa Hartford being cautioned during a WBA V Arsenal match in September 1971 by a #referee I don't recognise. Over to @refbooks.bsky.social & @refereeretro.bsky.social to identify him! @quinnassociate.com

Chelsea's Paddy Mulligan being cautioned by #referee Tony Morrisey from Cheshire during a Chelsea V Coventry match in September 1971. @quinnassociate.com @refbooks.bsky.social @refereeretro.bsky.social

@quinnassociate.com You'll be pleased that Tottenham took a point off Manchester City today!

A #referee from 1971/2 for @refbooks.bsky.social and @quinnassociate.com to identify.

Another match from 1971 where the referee is booking a player. The player being booked is Manchester United's Dennis Law fir not retreating 10 yards at a free kick. The match is Derby V Man U - I think the #referee is Gordon Kew. @quinnassociate.com @refbooks.bsky.social @refereeretro.bsky.social

@quinnassociate.com @refbooks.bsky.social @refereeretro.bsky.social A young Clive "the book" Thomas booking Leeds' Norman Hunter in a match against Manchester City in August 1971. The Football League had instructed #referees to clamp down on foul play and in this match Thomas cautioned 4 players.

@no1lino.bsky.social Another game between Liverpool and the Toon at the weekend! Should be a cracker!

Well done to both Liverpool @no1lino.bsky.social &Arsenal @quinnassociate.com on going straight to the last 16 of the Champions League.Hopefully we'll be joining you by winning in the PlayOff Round.I didn't see the match but it appears it was another game V PSG in Paris when we were up against12men!

I see the unfit Hooper has been appointed to #referee two of the fastest fittest PL teams on Saturday - Liverpool V Newcastle! @no1lino.bsky.social He was useless in the match at St James Park earlier in the season and will probably be just as useless on Saturday night!

I see Darren England made a prat of himself two days running! @no1lino.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com

A #referee from 1970-1 for @refbooks.bsky.social, @refereeretro.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com to identify.

@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

www.facebook.com/share/r/16oc... @no1lino.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com @refbooks.bsky.social

A #referee from 1974-5 for @quinnassociate.com & @refbooks.bsky.social to identify from Orient V Manchester United in Division 2.

Here is another #referee from the 70s/80s for @quinnassociate.com & @refbooks.bsky.social to identify!

@refbooks.bsky.social @refereeretro.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com Another #referee for yous to identify from 1975-76. The match is Manchester City V Derby County. I think it is Les Hayes but I'm not 100% certain.

The #referee wasn't identified but it looks like Derek Lloyd from Worcestershire to me. The match is Ipswich V Man U from 1975-76. @refbooks.bsky.social @refereeretro.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com

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!

@no1lino.bsky.social Two sh*te refs reffing the League Cup Semi-Finals First Legs - Kavanagh and the unfit Hooper! I dread to think who will be reffing this seasons Cup Finals!!

@refbooks.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com Clive Thomas (South Wales),Pat Partridge(County Durham)with Ron Challis(senior L/man)before the1975FA Cup Final and Jack Taylor(Wolverhampton),the3top #referees in English football during the 1970s.Challis was another top southern ref from Tonbridge,Kent.

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?

@refbooks.bsky.social & @refereeretro.bsky.social Bolton V Chelsea from 1975-76 season. A #referee I dont recognise. Can you guys identify him? @quinnassociate.com

QPR V Manchester City 1975-76. #Referee Terry Bossi sending off City's Asa Hartford before the days of yellow & red cards in the Football League. They were introduced in the 1976-77 season and abolished in 1981. They returned at FIFAs request in 1987. @refbooks.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com

@refbooks.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com Do you recognise this #referee? From the 1982 Charity Shield. You will definitely recognise the Linesman-a future Premier League ref as well as a FIFA ref who reffed both major Cup Finals.Incidentally,Eamon another top class ref from the South of England.

@quinnassociate.com I see Arsenal have the useless Darren England refereeing their match against Villa while Newcastle have the equally useless Rob Jones against Burnley! Two cr*p refs!!

A #refereeing fact for @refbooks.bsky.social, @refereeretro.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com in 1976/77 both FA Cup Semi-Finals were refereed by Welsh FIFA officials, Liverpool V Everton (including the replay) by Clive Thomas and Man U V Leeds by Tom Reynolds.

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.

Happy Christmas!

@quinnassociate.com I feel sorry for both Arsenal amd Palace tonight - you have the useless Stuart Atwell refereeing tonight!

@refbooks.bsky.social Here is another of England's top former #referees - George Courtney.

@refbooks.bsky.social I wont insult your intelligence by asking you to identify this great man! This is from QPR V Middlesbrough in the 1975-76 season.

I see the clueless Brookes is tge ref for Liverpool's match against Tottenham @no1lino.bsky.social A good first half performance by Madley in the Newcastle V Chelsea match but poor in the second half missing a clear penalty for barging Gordon over and a clear shirtpull DOGSO foul on Harvey Barnes.

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!

@no1lino.bsky.social I'm pleased to see the idiot who drove his car into Liverpool supporters when they were celebrating Liverpool's title win has been locked up - they should have thrown away the key though!

Here are 3 top former FIFA #referees for you @quinnassociate.com & @refbooks.bsky.social - Joel Quiniou (France) showing a yellow card,Erik Fredricksen (Sweden) showing a red card and Pat Partridge (Cockfield, Co.Durham), all 3 were good enough to have been appointed to referee the World Cup Final.

This is also from 1975-76. I reckon @refbooks.bsky.social might recognise this #referee who was nearing the end of a long career as a Football League referee.

Another #referee for @refbooks.bsky.social to identify from 1975-76. The match is Everton V QPR.

A #referee for @refbooks.bsky.social from 1975-76 season to identify!

I see the referee produced the worst refereeing I've seen at St James Park upto now this season is refereeing the Sunderland V Newcastle Derby at the weekend - Peter Bankes. @no1lino.bsky.social

West German #referee Albert Dusch, a FIFA referee in the 50s and early 60s @refbooks.bsky.social

From 1983-84, Kevin Keegan's final match as a professional footballer before retiring - can you identify the #referee? @refbooks.bsky.social

Arsenal V West Ham 1975-76 - a #referee for @refbooks.bsky.social to identify.

2 top #referees in action in the 1975-76 season from FA Cup QFs at Roker Park (Sunderland V Crystal Palace)&Old Trafford (Man U V Wolves),Clive Thomas from Treorchy & Pat Partridge from Co.Durham.Both refereed at the World Cup,Mr Partridge with no controversy unlike Mr Thomas! @refbooks.bsky.social

1975/76 season - a #referee for @refbooks.bsky.social to identify. Chelsea V Southampton.

Is that a first? @no1lino.bsky.social Pawson kept his cards in his pockets! I bet you enjoyed seeing Everton getting thrashed at home!!

Stoke V Tottenham 1975-76. The #referee is Peter Willis from Co.Durham. He was a League ref from 1972 until 1986. @refbooks.bsky.social

The #referee looks like Brian Martin from Leicestershire to me, though I'm not 100% certain. Hes speaking to a Cardiff player here. @refereeretro.bsky.social & @refbooks.bsky.social The match is Colchester V Cardiff from 1975-76.
